Markem-Imaje 5600 Liquid Inkjet Printer

The high-resolution Markem-Imaje 5600 Liquid Inkjet Printer, suitable for direct case coding, features liquid piezo technology for high-quality graphics, text and readable bar codes. It uses glycol-ether (Quick Dry) ink to provide manufacturers with maximum contrast, while minimising the ink deposit required.

The company’s quick-drying liquid ink delivers good opacity and can print on a wide range of porous substrates in environmental conditions from 0 to 40°C at printing speeds up to 182 m/min.

Its rigid ink management system consists of a large-capacity, self-contained cartridge, which was designed to recover purged ink and to be easily replaced during production. Printhead care can also be programmed to occur at the user’s convenience.

The printer has lower energy consumption and works as a stand-alone or integrated unit and can be used in conjunction with CoLOS Enterprise software. Intuitive icon-based user interfaces provide a familiar platform, and USB connectivity simplifies file data transport. The system can also be equipped with an optional printhead slide assembly for precise print gap control.
