Ink-jet printers

A new family of high-resolution ink-jet printing systems uses the IP9000 controller for printing on one or two sides of secondary packages, such as cartons or trays. According to the co., the system has minimal maintenance requirements and uses as little as 2 percent of the ink needed for drop-on-demand ink-jet systems. The controller can be paired with four different printheads—the LC2, the 96/32, the 192/32 or the 352/32—for increasingly higher resolutions and for various types of printing, from alphanumeric characters and graphics to scannable bar codes. The system uses Trident's repairable print engine, coupled with the co.'s printheads, which are said to function reliably in industrial environments.
