Coding With Pigmented Ink For Transparent Lids
The Van Vliet Candy Company in Alphen aan den Rijn (Netherlands) needed to find a new printing system to code on to the transparent lids of its Smorredrop sweet jars.
Linx CIJ printers have an in-built autoflush printhead system and automatic power down to enable mess-free and trouble-free starts and stops.
To ensure optimum functionality and reliability, CIJ printheads should be cleaned periodically - typically once a month said Linx.
The new Printhead Wash Station makes the process easier, and effectively cleans the printhead to maximise uptime on the production line.
The Printhead Wash Station can be secured to a Linx printhead mounting pole, or other vertical structures, close to the printer.
It has grooves to accommodate different printhead positions and an enclosed design reduces the possibility of spray or leakage on to the operator or production line.
An added advantage is also said to be the way that an empty bottle can be used to enable effective collection of waste ink and solvent for safe disposal.
Kate O'Mahony, inks and accessories product executive at Linx, said: "Excellent value for money, the Linx Printhead Wash Station is compact, has flexible mounting options and is enclosed to prevent splashes of ink and solvent.
As with other Linx products and accessories, it is also robust and easy to use.
Proper printhead cleaning improves printer reliability, reduces production line downtime and printer maintenance, thus ensuring low cost of ownership.
That is key for customers wanting to stay ahead of the competition.".
