Linx TJ725 Thermal Inket Coder

Matthews Australasia has launched the Linx TJ725 Thermal Inkjet Coder (TIJ), a high-resolution, digital solution for coding text and graphics onto outer cases, boxes, shelf-ready trays and packaging.

The TJ725 is supplied ready to install out of the box, making it simple to fit without the need for a service engineer or specialist installation tools.

The nozzles are covered and protected when not in use and uncovered automatically when the first product is sensed, so the coder is ready to produce prints as soon as required. This means operators do not need to remove cartridges overnight or at weekends.

The TJ725 can also sense how much ink is left and forecast the number of prints remaining so operators can plan to keep lines running without interruption. Operators can easily reposition the printhead without using any tools, so the printer can be set up quickly in the correct printing position during product changeovers or when it is moved between lines.

The built-in speed sensor automatically detects both the line speed and direction, which means no separate coder is needed. The colour screen clearly shows the message selected as it will be printed, reducing the risk of coding errors.

The Linx TJ725 can print messages up to 12.5 mm high with a range of fonts and resolutions to 300 dpi on line speeds of up to 60 m/min. It can code onto porous, semi-porous and non-porous substrates.
