Code Printer

A code printer is an essential part of most production lines. It is a device that prints codes, type, text or logos onto products, packages or labels. Designed to work at high speed, these printers are important to manufacturers because companies are often bound by law to print batch codes (also known as lot codes) on every item they sell.

How to optimise print quality

LEIBINGER printers work by printing tiny dots of ink, guided by software, which enables them to write a message or mark of any kind. No need for the printer to touch the surface that is being printed: instead the printer can send a droplet with great accuracy from up to 50mm away. This ability to provide a high resolution, zero touch printout makes printing legible.

What materials can a code printer print onto?

Whether you're printing onto a paper document or the surface of a product, the same need for clear text applies. In different industries, codes are printed onto cardboard, metal, glass, plastic and many other surfaces.

A LEIBINGER printer can cope with any substrate and use a range of inks: high-adhesion, high contrast, scratch resistant, various colors, etc.

Are you printing in a harsh production environment?

Maintaining print quality can be challenging if you are printing in certain environments. Dust, for example, can be a problem if your production line is involved in dry food preparation and packaging, eg. flour. Timber mills encounter similar issues. LEIBINGER printers solve this problem by being equipped with a pressurized print head that repels dust and prevents it affecting the process.

Food production environments can be difficult for different reasons. Hygiene requirements demand regular washing of equipment, making the IP65 compliance of the LEIBINGER JET3up PRO an essential feature.

How to ensure reliability and productivity

A batch code printer needs to operate effectively every day of its working life. However, when there is a break in printing, there can be a problem with ink drying onto the nozzle of the printer. This means cleaning each printer before work can start again.

Each LEIBINGER printer comes with the unique LEIBINGER Sealtronic® feature, an ingenious way of ensuring that ink does not come into contact with air when printing stops. As a result, there is no need to clean the printer and it is never the printer that holds up your busy production line.

Can I print QR codes and bar codes?

A code printer prints both. In fact, it can print text, images, logos or anything else onto virtually any surface. Codes and text can both be useful in improving product traceability.
