Markem-Image SmartDate X60 thermal transfer coder

The Markem-Image SmartDate X60 thermal transfer coder features a high-speed/high-quality printhead. The long-life, high-speed printhead is designed to meet the needs of users in demanding, high-volume production environments.

Combining fast performance with the SmartDate legacy of reliability, the SmartDate X60 can print at pack speeds of up to 1000 mm/s at full 300 dpi resolution. The X60 is also capable of full resin printing at up to 600 mm/s. That means codes will not rub off and makes thermal transfer a viable option in a wider range of situations.

The SmartDate X60 is suitable for manufacturers of baked items, biscuits, cakes and pasta, as well as chocolate and sugar confectioneries, where single-size packs on lines running at very high speeds require high-speed coders.

The coder minimises waste and optimises uptime on the packaging line. A standard 1100 m ribbon provides up to 20% more prints per roll, resulting in 20% less waste and reducing the frequency of changeovers.
