Laser printer is claimed to be the fastest

Claimed to be the fastest on the market, a laser printer offers print speed and quality for high speed/high volume production lines in the food, beverage, extrusion and cabling industries.

Linx Printing Technologies, an industry leading producer of Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) and laser coding equipment, is extending its Linx SL range with the launch of its new Linx 500SL at PPMA (Hall 10, stand 10010).

The fastest laser on the market, the Linx 500SL provides class-leading performance in print speed and quality, making it an ideal choice for high speed/high volume production lines in the food, beverage, brewing and extrusion and cabling industries.

The Linx 500SL is making its UK debut at PPMA.

So too is the recently launched Linx Clear security ink 3160 that fluoresces red under ultraviolet light.

The ink has been developed for discreet coding applications like anti-counterfeiting and internal traceability.

The ink includes a unique red colorant making it difficult to copy and suitable for printing onto plastics, paper, metal and glass and ideal for products such as alcohol, tobacco, pharmaceuticals, software and music.

Simon Powell, Marketing Manager at Linx, said: "I am delighted that the Linx 500SL and the Linx Clear security ink 3160 ink will take pride of place at PPMA.

Combining high performance, ease of use and reliability the SL coders are already generating huge interest from the industry".

"In today's market place low cost of ownership and production line uptime are key to ensure business success and, with these SL models, manufacturers can make the most of this competitive advantage." The Linx 500SL provides manufacturers with the ultimate choice in high-powered lasers suitable for a wide range of substrates, message formats and line speeds.

Extension of the range builds on the success of the mid-powered Linx 300SL, a popular choice with manufacturers who are looking for a high quality, high performance compact laser coder at an affordable price.

The Linx 500SL and Linx 300SL are capable of producing high-quality text, graphics and bar codes on a range of materials used for packaging and other purposes.

The Linx 300SL is a compact air-cooled system, while the Linx 500SL is an air/water cooled system designed for harsh production environments.

* Advantages of the Linx SL range - the Linx 500SL is ideal for printing on substrates that are traditionally difficult to mark, such as rubber and certain plastics.

Capable of speeds up to 740m/minute and protected against hostile production environments with its IP65 rating, the Linx 500SL is primed for future coding and speed enhancements, making it a printer that meets the needs of today as well as tomorrow.

* The Linx 300SL boasts a range of features including full alphanumeric, graphics and barcode printing capabilities, it can also print in any orientation.

A single box solution with a detachable user interface, it is more compact and lighter weight than other industrial laser coders in its class and delivers greater print performance.

* Further detail on the Linx Clear security ink 3160 - the Linx Clear security ink 3160 has been developed for discreet coding applications like anti-counterfeiting and internal traceability.

The ink fluoresces a distinct red colour under ultraviolet light rather than the traditional blue/violet colour, making it harder to copy.

It is also MEK free and is especially suitable for coding alcohol, tobacco, pharmaceuticals, software and music products.

* Also on show at PPMA - A 'one-stop' solution, the Xymark LC is ideal for manufacturers that need a laser system to create micro-perforations and/or score flexible packaging films on high speed production lines for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) and 'easy-tear' applications.

* Expanding on the success of the original Linx IJ600 printer, the recently launched IJ600 Twinhead is also appearing at PPMA.

Ideal for outer case coding it produces exceptional quality graphics, text and barcodes on almost all porous surfaces.

* The Linx 6800 Swift - the ideal choice for bottling, canning and cabling production lines.

The Linx 1405 ink, on show with the Linx 6800 Swift, was especially developed for customers who require an extremely fast-drying ink that does not contain MEK.

The ink is ideal for mechanical and electrical components as well as for use on high-speed production lines.

* The Linx High-opacity grey ink 1310 for use with the Linx 6800 Spectrum printer.

Ideal for use on both light and dark coloured materials, the versatile new ink also brings cost savings to users.

* The Linx 4900 two-line printer, launched just over a year ago, is the most successful CIJ for Linx to date.

Designed for easy, trouble-free operation, its curvaceous stainless steel enclosure makes it ideal for washdown environments.

On show with the Linx 4900 is Linx Black plastic-film ink 1016 which is suitable for coding items such as cabling, plastic extrusions, bottles and caps.

* The Linx Green mixed-base ink 3124 is a dye-based ink that provides strong contract on many types of materials and is ideally suited for coding onto a wide range of substrates, including metal and plastics, and for use in product areas including general packaging, extrusions, and mechanical and electrical components.

* About Linx Printing Technologies - Linx Printing Technologies is a leading global supplier of Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) printers, impulse jet printers and laser coders.

Its printers and coders are used across many different industries where product identification codes, batch numbers, dates and barcodes are required.

Distinguished by reliability, robustness and ease of use, Linx products code and mark millions of items every day, ranging from bottles, packages and cans of consumer goods to pharmaceutical products, cabling, electrical components and car parts.
