To mark the pouches with code date information, Toll installed an ink-jet printer and had it fitted with an EZ Jet™ ink-jet nozzle from InkJet, Inc.

“The nozzle produces good print quality,” says Dave Earl, maintenance supervisor at the Wendell plant. “And if a part goes bad, there’s no need to throw the entire nozzle away. We just clean it out or replace the component and put it back in operation.”
