Linx Printing Technologies launched three new products at Emballage 2008. The Linx IJ350 is a large character marking coder designed for outer case and secondary packaging requirements. Features include a fully enclosed, self-cleaning printhead with patented micro-purge system, a compact detachable display unit and an icon-based touch screen.
Also new is the Linx SL501 50W laser, an addition to the Linx SL range of scribing lasers. According to Linx, the SL501 50W reduces running costs and is easy to install due to a standalone construction that does not require air or water for efficient operation.
Finally, the Linx 6900 Solver, part of the 6900 continuous ink jet printer range, is described as “the first printer which thinks as it inks”. It can reduce solvent usage by up to 40% as the coder adjusts its operation to fit requirements.
