Linx Printing Technologies has extended its range of printheads with the launch of what it claims is its most versatile head to date.
Well-suited to the electronics, pharmaceutical and confectionery sectors and for consumer products where readability is critical, the Micro printhead reportedly brings a new level of flexibility and reliability to applications requiring discreet printed codes. This, Linx says, is due to its ability to print complex characters and logos in a small space, possible because it uses a greater number of smaller drops to define characters than a standard printhead.
The printhead can print one line of print at speeds of up to 500m/min (8.4m/second) and, when combined with Linx’s MEK-free Black ultra-fast drying ink 1405, provides additional benefits for high speed production lines such as cabling, flow-wrap and bottling, where surfaces may come into contact with eachother soon after printing.
