Markem-Imaje, a Dover company and global leader in end-to-end supply chain solutions and industrial marking and coding systems, has introduced a new advanced M printhead configuration for its 9712 Bi-Jet inkjet printer.
Designed for exceptional precision at high speeds, this upgraded printhead delivers sharper, more reliable coding on small packaging across sectors such as food, dairy, eggs, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. It allows manufacturers to print large and complex elements, including 2D codes and detailed text with a single machine, reducing upfront investment and lowering ongoing operational costs.
Key benefits include:
- Exceptional Clarity: Helps ensure messages are both clear and legible on small packaging, enhancing product visibility and compliance with regulatory standards.
- Increased Line Efficiency: Provides additional high-quality coding performance at high speeds, allowing manufacturers to considerably enhance production output.
- Efficient and Sustainable: Enables smaller dot sizes through a 48µm nozzle, reducing consumable use to lower costs and support environmental goals.
- Enhanced Operator Productivity: Improves reliability and performance of the printing process, enhancing operator productivity and minimizing downtime.
The introduction of this new printhead retains the existing features of the 9712 model and the comprehensive benefits of the Markem-Imaje 9700 series continuous inkjet coders. Users can expect market-leading service intervals, the innovative Intelli’Swap technology for easier maintenance, and the Intelli’Inks system for reduced VOC emissions and error-proof performance.
