apsolute marking systems are based on thermal inkjet technology.
They use thermal inkjet print cartridges, which for the first time allow printing with fast-drying inks.
Therefore, the application area of this technology could be considerably enlarged: apsolute marking systems permit printing on porous and non-porous substrates, directly onto your product or its primary and secondary packaging.
Print cartridge concept
Through their print cartridge concept the apsolute printers don't use any moving part in the system and work without any wear. This is beside the high-quality hardware and electronics reason for the reliability of the apsolute marking systems. There's no need for remedial repair and maintenance. Unpredictable breakdowns and associated production downtime definitely belong to the past.
apsolute marking systems require no other fluid than ink. This means sustainable cost savings for users who in the past had to bear high running cost for additional consumables such as make-up, cleaners, spares and wear parts, repairs and maintenance.
Multi-printhead concept
The apsolute marking systems can control up to four printheads, each of them printing independently up to 12.7 mm of text – an excellent solution if you have to fulfill different marking requirements at the same production site or have to print on different sides of a product.
Also the multi-printhead concept of the apsolute marking systems offers sustainable savings. One apsolute makes you save costs for up to three additional coding systems!
Reliable technology for industrial marking requirements
Due to the big selection of fast drying inks apsolute printers replace other marking technologies like conventional MEK based ink jet printers (Continuous Inkjet Printers) which are regarded as dirty, maintenance intensive and costly to run. The large number of fast drying inks is also reason why apsolute printers can fulfill most of the industrial marking needs whereas conventional thermal inkjet printers are limited to the porous market. With print speeds up to 300 m/min apsolute printers are perfectly suited for applications which require high production rates for example in the food sector where they replace classical thermal transfer printers. They are also a good alternative to costly and difficult to integrate laser printers.
