Advanced printer driver software avoids labels
Advanced printer driver software provides flexible code creation that allows impulse jet printers to allow easy, cost effective outer case coding rather than having to print onto labels.
Printer's self-cleaning head marks porous surfaces
Addressing a long standing industry need for high performance and reliability, a printer has a robust self-cleaning print head prints up to 70mm characters on paper sacks, cardboard and wood.
* Scribing lasers - the Linx SL Range consists of the Linx SL101 and SL301 scribing lasers, offering respectively 10W and 30W power options.
Installation is where the new models' flexibility and ease of use really adds value, as they are built to fit the production line.
Operation is equally clear, said Linx to manufacturingtalk, thanks to an intuitive interface, in the form of a Hand-Held Control Unit.

a robust self-cleaning print head and IP65 rated stainless steel enclosure features a printer designed for outer case coding, printing large characters, images and barcodes up to 70mm high.
Tough printer can apply large character labelling
Printer that features a robust self-cleaning print head and IP65 rated SS enclosure is designed to cope with tough production environments and can print large characters, images and barcodes.
Compact scribing laser delivers more performance
Compact scribing laser coder is more compact and lighter weight than other industrial laser coders in its class and delivers greater print performance, says the manufacturer.
The unit allows users to configue, change and set up codes at the touch of a button.
New features include greater marking versatility thanks to the use of a variety of beam delivery options for different spot sizes, product to lens distances and mark fields.
Flexible standard components, side and end shooter options, and a small footprint ensure ease of integration into existing operations, even on production lines where space is at a premium.
The robust stainless steel housing is sealed with standard IP54 rating, or an optional IP65 for wet environments, ensuring excellent reliability in harsh conditions, for maximum uptime.
Laser Product Manager at Linx, David Martin, said:"The Linx SL Range has proved to be a hit with customers servicing a wide range of end markets.
We are delighted to bring the range to Interpack to demonstrate to an international audience what it can do".
* Code printewr - Linx also showed the Linx 6900 CIJ printer, which the company promises is the 'perfect partner' for a wide range of product coding needs.
The 6900 CIJ combines reliability, ease of use, intelligence and attractive curves.
The Linx 6900 can efficiently print up to five lines of text, graphics and barcodes at single printed line speeds of up to 8.4m/s.
Its key features - including an intuitive colour user interface with WYSIWYG display and menu system, low-maintenance operation and an attractive curved appearance - are the result of ongoing consultation with customers as to their precise coding needs, said Linx.
* Thermal transfer coding - Linx showed its TT5 overprinter for printing best before dates and batch codes up to 55mm.
It is complemented by the TT10, which has a wider width ribbon (up to 110mm) that enables the printing of longer messages such as ingredients, logos and marketing information.
Both models provide the ultimate combination of benefits for coding onto flexible film packaging (flow wrap), labels or gloss card and are ideal for a variety of applications especially within the snack food, confectionery and pharmaceutical sectors.
* Large character marking - the IJ600 twinhead outer case coder prints exceptional quality graphics, text and barcodes on bags, boxes, packaging and containers.
The twinheads enable printing on two sides simultaneously and at any angle, and the specially designed pressurised ink system delivers consistent results whatever the head orientation.
* About Linx Printing Technologies - Linx Printing Technologies Limited is a leading global supplier of continuous ink jet (CIJ) printers, impulse jet printers and laser coders.
