Rotech Machines Ltd., the specialist coding and marking company, have been granted distribution rights by APS of Herrenberg, Germany for their innovative range of Apsolute thermal inkjet printers.
Using technology developed by Hewlett Packard, the printers offer a sealed, mono-fluid, printhead that removes the need for the handling of bulk, volatile, liquids.
Unlike printers with a re-circulation system, only such fluid as is required to make the print needs to be purchased.
To date, the technology has been largely limited to printing on porous surfaces as only water-based inks could be used.
The development by APS of a range of alcohol-based inks together with modifications to the cartridge driver to permit their handling, now allow the technology to print onto a wide range of non-porous materials.
It is able to print onto blister foils and varnished cartons as found on many pharmaceutical production lines.
