Electrostatic voltage leaves Markoprint printer cold

Electrostatic charges can sometimes arise in manufacturing and packaging plants. With a negative impact on the marking technology used there. Inkjet printers from Weber Marking System’s Markoprint series are built to remain unaffected by a high-voltage flashover and the printing results are perfectly legible even at speeds of 240 m/min.

Particularly safe printing 
We have all experienced it at some point: The phenomenon of hair standing on end or suffering an occasional shock. Caused by an electrostatic voltage, which arises when certain materials rub against each other. In production and packaging plants, for example, an electrostatic charge can arise during the separation of two foils or the transfer of bulk goods and liquids. If electronic printing technology is being used, the voltage can have a lasting adverse effect on the results. Charged dust particles can also be absorbed by the ink and clog the cartridge. In both cases you end up with a corrupted print image. 
To prevent this right from the start, Markoprint inkjet printers have a protective earth connection, which can be connected electrically with the production plant. This connection has proven itself in extensive field testing. With notable results when Markoprint Trident, HP and Lexmark printer technology is used. With Lexmark, 70 variable high-resolution characters per second were achieved even in the event of voltage flashovers. 

Markoprint direct marking systems
Markoprint inkjet printers are used for the direct marking of products and packaging. In addition to Hewlett Packard printheads for small high resolution coding and the proven Trident printheads for large coding, Lexmark industrial printheads are also supported. The systems print information such as barcodes, data matrix codes, plaintext, expiry dates as well as load and batch numbers quickly and cleanly. Depending on the system, printing technology and number of connected printheads, characters with a resolution of up to 600 dpi and a height of up to 800 mm are possible.
