What should you keep in mind when designing a project for inkjet printing? Take a

look at these tips that can improve results on your next project.

High-speed digital inkjet printing technology opens new doors for designers –

from building more personal connections with audiences to printing unique projects

more cost-effectively. However, inkjet printing technology is not the same as offset

printing or toner-based digital printing and requires some different design

approaches.
If you’re new to using Inkjet

Printer, follow these best practices to ensure your finished project looks as

amazing as you envision it.
Keep an Open Mind — The guidelines for designing and printing an inkjet project

are not the same as those recommended for offset printing, and the learning curve can

be steeper than you might expect. The ink formulation is different, the machines

might be unfamiliar, and you may need to use paper that has been treated to accept

inkjet inks. Approach your first inkjet project with an open mind and a willingness

to adjust your expectations.
A great resource to consider is “The Designer’s Guide to Inkjet” by Elizabeth

Gooding and Mary Schilling, providing valuable insight to understanding the potential

of inkjet printing technology.

The Thermal Transfer

Overprinter can display and print Arabic characters, with font support from

Windows TrueType. And it supports 19 languages, including Chinese, Japanese, Korean,

and Turkish. The bidirectional ribbon drive recaptures unused ribbon after each

print, maintaining a 1-mm gap between prints for the length of the ribbon. The 8.4-in

SVGA and color touchscreen have icon-based controls. The job display features preview

zoom to reduce operator error. The device can change between intermittent and

continuous modes, in right or left-hand operation. Serial, Ethernet, and USB

communications are standard. The controller can manage up to four printers.

Date Coding Machines are

machines that apply date information on products, packaging, and labels. Date coding

of products – especially food, beverage, and pharmaceutical products–is required by

local regulations around the globe. Manufacturers also need date codes for internal

tracking and to ensure that products are shipped promptly to market. The date that a

product is manufactured often determines a product’s expiration date, which is

required to be prominently displayed on certain food, beverage, and pharmaceutical

product packaging and labeling.

Date coding technology and machines

Most date coders today are automatic, incorporating software programmed to

automatically generate and apply date codes on large volumes of products. Many date

coders are used on high-speed production lines and are able to maintain a high print

quality while printing on moving products and packages. On some of these production

line coders, line operators manually generate codes at the beginning of each day’s

shift.

The quality of the components you choose will play an important part in the

life of your packaging equipment.

Your Packaging Machine

parts might rely on everything from cable ties and PCB mounting hardware to clamping

levers and screw-on rubber bumper feet. Choose your components wisely and you can

deliver a semi-automated or automated packaging machine that performs for years.

This guide is designed to help you make those choices. We’ll focus on three

types of packaging machines, but most of the components shown for each can be used on

all machines, such as can packing machines, cardboard box packing machines, carton

wrapping machines, and sheet packing machines.

A Belt Conveyor is a material

handling system designed to move supplies, materials, and components using an

efficient and effortless process that saves on time, energy, and cost. The design of

conveyor belts includes two motorized pulleys with the conveyor material looped over

them. The pulleys operate at the same speed and move in the same direction to

activate the motion of the conveyor belt.

There is an endless number of types and uses for conveyor belts. All of the

varieties serve the purpose of transporting materials and goods along a continuously

moving path. Though motorized conveyor belts are the traditional form of a conveying

system, there are systems that use rollers without a motor to move materials.

Hot Ink Roll (ink roller, hot

ink roller) suitable for use on any ink roll coder available in the market for

printing date code, lot/batch number etc. Working on an ink roll coder printing by

plastic film or paper, the ink roll is able to produce at high speed many thousands

of instant dry, highly legible print that has good adhesion and rub resistance. No

mess and solvent free printing is another advantage of using ink roll for your coding

requirements.
