Continuous Ink-Jet Printing with Touchscreen Control

The I-Mark C84+ provides fast, reliable, small character coding of expiration dates, batch codes, logos, and barcodes onto food, beverage, and pharmaceutical packaging, in addition to a variety of industrial applications on plastics, paper, and metals. Combining ease of use with high performance and flexibility, the controller’s 10.4” color touchscreen simplifies operation with an icon-based, graphical display. Ensuring trouble-free viscosity control and consistent print quality, the C84+ temperature, drop speed, and ink pressure settings are automatically managed internally through a continuous diagnostic process. Thepatent pending, self-cleaning print head protects all internal electronics with a hermetically sealed enclosure featuring a rugged, in-line nozzle design. Even shutting down this system is easier. Simply press a button and the built in intelligence enables an automatic-flush function that ensures your printhead is thoroughly cleaned and powered off. With one of the most efficient solvent consumption systems in the industry, the C84+ provides extremely low operating costs.
