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.
The Linx 6900 Spectrum can print up to five lines of text, barcode and graphics with a range of coloured high opacity inks, claimed the company.
According to Linx the new model offers consistent print quality at line speeds of over 7.2 metres per second, and provides simple, clean operation, even in the harshest conditions.
Its low maintenance and robust design minimises the risk of printer downtime, helping to maximise production output whilst minimising coding costs.
Its features include a colour user interface with WYSIWYG display and menu system, low-maintenance operation and a curved appearance.
In addition to the Linx 6900 Spectrum, Linx has launched several new pigmented inks, offering improved drying times to enable faster line speeds.

Linx Brilliant white ink 1306 is said to contain a very high pigment content to provide opacity print on a variety of surfaces.
It adheres to substrates that include polyethylene (PE).

He continued: "Together with the new Linx inks 1306 and 1311, the Linx 6900 Spectrum enables customers to get the best coding results for pigmented inks, whatever properties, whether fast drying, light fastness or compatibility with a particular material, are required.".
