Squid Ink Unveils Versatile Hi-Resolution Ink Jet Printing System for Case Coding
July 1, 2005, Spring Lake Park, MN -Squid Ink Manufacturing, Inc., a leading manufacturer of superior quality inks, InkJet printing equipment, and material handling equipment, introduces the new PZ/4 Series II hi-resolution InkJet printing system. The PZ/4 Series II offers users more versatility for printing high quality marks on a variety of products at a cost-effective price.
The PZ/4 Series II is an ideal printing system for companies looking for a high quality and fair priced hi-resolution print system for printing bar codes, logos, and other high quality alphanumerics on corrugated cases. The PZ/4 Series II is available as either an oil-based system for printing on porous surfaces like corrugated cases, or as a solvent-based system for printing on non-porous products like plastics, PET bottles, PVC pipe, metals, coated corrugate or more.
Using industry proven shared-wall piezo technology, PZ/4 Series II offers better print quality than competitive hi-resolution printing systems using Trident® printheads. With up to 256 addressable jets per printhead, PZ/4 Series II boasts 200 dpi print resolution. The result is a system that produces up to 1.4", per printhead, of scannable bar codes, razor-sharp text and the cleanest logos and graphics of any industrial ink-jet printing system on the market. Whether you are printing SCC-14 bar codes for shipping containers, or batch numbers for product identification, the PZ/4 Series II has the functionality to get the job done right.
PZ/4 Series II users have the option of running up to four separate printheads from one controller. Each printhead will print up to 1.4", offering up to 5.6" of total print height. Whether users need separate printheads to print messages on two sides of a box, or a single printhead to print on one side of a product, the PZ/4 Series II provides a flexible solution.
PZ/4 Series II is designed to work as an integral part of users' day-to-day packaging operation. Fully functional ImageMaster® PC software provides users with complete control of their printing system, including ethernet connectivity, WYSIWYG message design, message storage and message retrieval. An optional industrial strength handheld terminal is available for users who want message control directly at their printer location.
Unlike competitive hi-resolution printing systems using the Trident® print engine, PZ/4 Series II's printhead technology is not susceptible to vibration and will not lose its prime. In addition, PZ/4 Series II's compact printheads do not require a lot of space in crowded package printing environments. PZ/4 Series II's rugged design will withstand the most abusive industrial environments.
PZ/4 Series II offers users a low cost of ownership. PZ/4 Series II utilizes ink manufactured directly by Squid Ink, therefore eliminating the multiple layers of distribution currently associated with high-resolution ink and saves money.
The PZ/4 Series II is available now through Squid Ink's worldwide network of sales representatives and resellers. Sales inquiries should be directed to Marketing Coordinator, Squid Ink Manufacturing, Inc., 1173 Osborne Road, Spring Lake Park, MN 55432. 1-800-877-5658
