- b'DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., May 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Markem-Imaje , part of Dover (NYSE: DOV), announced the launch of the SmartDate Xtreme Plus printhead, suitable for high speed, high resin coding on a wide range of surfaces.
- High resin thermal transfer overprinting (TTO) is most commonly used in the food and pharmaceutical industries.\nThe advanced design of the SmartDate Xtreme Plus printhead uses high resin ribbons to produce crisp, high resin codes at up to 600 mm/s (2 ft/s), nearly twice the speed of the market\'s next fastest coder.
- Production throughput no longer needs to be sacrificed in order to ensure high quality, durable codes.\nAs compared to other grades of thermal transfer ribbons, the high energy level required for printing with resin reduces the life of a printhead.
- As a result, maintenance costs can be high, especially as many TTO suppliers do not offer printhead warranties.
