THERMAL TRANSFER PRINTER

Coditherm, by Eidos, is a digital thermal transfer printer with a patented design, providing high-resolution marking of dynamic, variable codes onto rigid or semi-rigid materials, or products with uneven or porous surfaces. Marking onto non-porous plastics, such as HDPE, ABS, polypropylene, and polycarbonate, is performed without pre-treatment. Other typical applications include marking on paper, cardboard, wood, leather, and even coated metals. In addition to fixed and variable text, Coditherm produces high-quality, high-resolution (600 dpi) printing of barcodes and 2D codes, graphics, serial numbers,time, date, lot numbers, and shift codes within messages.

Extremely easy to install, the Coditherm can be integrated into an automated production line or supplied as a stand-alone unit for semi-automatic use with an operator, perfect for small batches with frequent text changes. Message creation and editing is done with the controller’s touch screen graphical user interface; you can easily upload graphics and logos directly from a PC or USB memory stick. The thermal ribbons come in a wide variety of colors and styles, including hard resins (for scratch or solvent resistance), metallic, pigmented, and anti-counterfeiting.
