Easyprint Thermal Transfer Printing - The clever coding solution
Product/Service Name
The Communicator is a versatile, high performance thermal transfer printer (TTO) for increased production output on continuous and intermittent applications. Thermal transfer printing always results in a sharp, clear image without compromising the print speed or production speed. It is ideal for printing onto flexible film packaging or labels—the size and low acquisition cost of the Easyprint thermal transfer printers open up new opportunities for in-line printing that can be integrated to most production lines
Function/ApplicationsEasyprint thermal transfer printers are perfect for various industries such as the snack food, fresh food produce, bakery, confectionery and pharmaceutical sectors, etc.
The Easyprint thermal transfer printer can print large messages, for instance nutritional panels, ingredients, logos and promotional information as well as expiry dates and batch codes. Barcodes like EAN 128 are also possible.
The Easyprint thermal transfer printers are maintenance free in mechanical terms. This ensures maximum uptime on the production line.
With Easyprint’s sophisticated foil feed, 1400-metre ribbons can be inserted into the Communicator, an increase of 50% in relation to its closest competitor. This considerably reduces any downtime related to ribbon change-overs.
As a continuous printer the Communicator’s adaptable design can with advantage be used on intermittent packaging machines also. A patented ribbon economy system that allows for ribbon savings of up to 80% further reduces operating costs and increases printhead life.
The versitility of the controller with full onboard message creation software accessed via the touch screen is very simple to use and unmatched in is ease of use.
Advanced functions such as graphics and database functions are a breeze due to the windows CE platform, the database can be placed onboard or sourced from any PC or server on the network, just like a mail merge.
Easyprint Thermal Transfer printers are available in 53mm and 128mm printheads.
Also for thermoforming machines transversal printers are available (TM model).
Differentiating FeaturesRELIABILITY
• Clutch-free dancing arm design- Eliminates maintenance requirements while preventing ribbon tears by maintaining a constant tension on the ribbon
• Maintenance-free brake system- Reduce downtime requirements and the risk of brake-related operating errors
• Printhead heater- Enables high quality prints in cold and harsh environments while prolonging printhead life
• Robust cassette construction- Ensures reliability even in harsh environments
ADAPTABILITY
• Compatible- Supports both intermittent and continuous applications to ensure compatibility with a wide range packaging machines
TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP
• 1400 metre ribbon capacity- Reduces operating costs by minimizing any downtime related to ribbon change-overs. Without any additional Ribbon Economy COMMUNICATOR offers 40% longer runtime than any other comparable printer
• Patented Ribbon Economy system- Yields ribbon savings of up to 80%
• Auto-retraction- Optimises ribbon economy by allowing for prints that are less than 1mm apart on the ribbon, including overlap between prints
SPEED
• 50-1400mm/sec printing speed- Promotes optimised manufacturing output
• No direct-drive- Enables faster printing due to less internal resistance and allows for fast "stop-and-go"
