Domino Printing Sciences has launched a new thermal inkjet (TIJ) solution designed specifically for flexible packaging lines, including food applications.
The new TIJ into TTO solution with the Domino Gx-Series range has been developed as a cost-effective alternative to traditional thermal transfer overprinting (TTO) for flexible packaging lines requiring simple 1-, 2-, or 4-line printed text codes and small-sized 2D codes up to 10mm2.
For simple printed text codes and small-sized 2D codes, Domino said its new TIJ into TTO solution with the Domino Gx-Series range offers the same code quality afforded by TTO solutions while delivering cost and waste savings, as inefficient ribbon usage in standard TTO printers can drive up overall cost and waste per print, as well as reduced downtime.
Alex Mountis, senior product manager, high resolution inkjet, Domino Printing Sciences, said: “While TTO has long been considered the preferred option for flexible packaging lines, we recognise that such solutions are not always the optimum solution when it comes to total cost of ownership.
“We developed the TIJ into TTO solution with the Domino Gx-Series range as an easy to use, efficient, and cost-effective solution for manufacturers with simple code requirements who may not be effectively served by existing TTO solutions.”
Paul Clarke, portfolio director, Domino Printing Sciences, said: “When it comes to printing on flexible packaging, there is no one-size-fits-all solution that will work for every manufacturer. Our TIJ into TTO solution with the Domino Gx-Series range has been developed as a cost-effective solution for manufacturers requiring simple codes on flexible packaging, and we are incredibly proud to bring this solution to the market.
“For flexible packaging lines with alternative code requirements, including complex text, graphics, and larger-sized 1D and 2D barcodes, we have multiple alternative solutions, including our new Vx-Series TTO printers and UV laser for recyclable plastic films.”
