MARKEM/IMAJE PRINTER

• Coding best-before dates and batch numbers on food packaging.
• Applying traceability information to individual food items or outer cases.
• Printing variable data onto flexible films, cartons, and rigid containers.
• Marking product information in high-speed production environments.
• Labelling products in industries requiring dry-touch, quick-drying inks.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, print speeds can typically range from several metres per second, depending on print resolution and line count.

Print height

Units of this type commonly offer print heights up to 25mm, as stated for this specific model.

Number of print lines

Advanced models like the 9064 typically support up to 8 lines of text for comprehensive coding.

Message storage
