High flexibility through printhead combinations

Printhead rotation for maximum flexibility

The Patrion Plus can be used both for marking using drop-on-demand (DOD) technology and for high-resolution (HiRes) marking. Up to 8 individual printheads can be controlled with the Patrion Plus Controller. The resulting combinations ensure maximum flexibility.

Drop-on-demand (DOD)

DOD printheads are able to mark both porous (e.g. cardboard boxes) and non-porous (e.g. shrink film) material with the right water-based or solvent-based ink. Using different font matrices, 1- 8-line dot matrix marking can be carried out at line speeds of up to 61 m/min. The font size varies between 10 and 50 mm per line, depending on the printhead.

High resolution (HiRes)

The HiRes printheads work using to the piezo technology and, with a 150 dpi (vertical) resolution, produce a high-definition image for text or alphanumeric characters, graphics and logos and modern bar codes. The HR/120 printhead uses various matrices to print one to four lines with a font height of 4-20 mm per head.
