Large character printers offer industrial companies an efficient way of labeling their products. They are typically used in logistics and production lines in particular to print large, legible labels on packaging such as boxes or pallets. to apply. A large character printer ensures that markings stand out immediately and are easy to identify, which brings considerable advantages. Find out everything you need to know about large character printers here.
What is a large character printer?
A large character printer is a special industrial printer that is used for printing texts, logos or codes on various materials directly on the production line is designed. A large character printer is designed to print high-resolution images up to a height of 100 mm - consisting of text, logos and barcodes - on demanding surfaces such as cardboard, plasterboard, plastic and other materials, paper, pulp or wood.
How the large character printer works
The large character printer is a so-called drop-on-demand technology, which is based on the piezoelectric principle. Ink droplets are initially generated via electrical impulses that result in the deformation of piezoelectric material (similar to a moving piston within a cylinder) within a volume. The deformation of the piezo material leads to the displacement of the ink, which is then pressed through nozzles and sprayed onto the surface.
An automatic cleaning system keeps the print head clean, which is particularly important in dusty environments. Thanks to a spring-loaded holder, the print head is protected from damage caused by collisions with products. The The whole can be operated practically via a touch control panel, tablet or a connected computer, and the printer can also be integrated into existing networks.
Typical applications in practice
Large character printers such as the ResMark 5000 from Diagraph have a wide range of applications in numerous industries. Typical areas of application include
- Production lines: For direct marking of packaging on the production line - particularly practical in the food, beverage and chemical industries, where fast, flexible and precise marking is required, flexible and precise marking is essential.
- Logistics and shipping: For labeling cartons or pallets to ensure better traceability of goods throughout the delivery process.
- Warehousing and warehouse automation: For the clear identification and labeling of cartons, packaging units and pallets in the warehouse, which facilitates warehouse management and the internal flow of goods.
- Special markings: Also for specific material markings, such as on wood, paper or celluloseare large character printers can be used and offer durable and highly visible lettering, especially for absorbent surfaces.
Advantages of large character printers
Direct printing offers considerable cost benefits, especially when compared to printing and affixing labels. Depending on the content and size, cost savings of up to 50% are possible.
Large character printers offer impressively high printing speeds, making them extremely efficient, especially in industrial environments where time is of the essence.
These printers are extremely versatile and can print on a variety of materials such as cardboard, wood and other surfaces. The print image itself can be designed very flexibly with variable content (e.g. date/time stamps, counters, etc.) so that you can provide each product with an individual imprint at full production speed. This makes them ideal suitable for different applications in various industries, from packaging to direct product labeling.
Large character printers are robust and designed for continuous operation in demanding industrial environments. They are characterized by high resistance to mechanical stress and environmental influences and guarantee reliable performance over long periods of time.
These printers can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines and enable automatic product labeling in real time, which significantly increases efficiency.
By using only mineral oil-free inks that are applied directly to the material, direct printing with large character printers does not generate any composite waste. This means that the cardboard remains 100% recyclable.
