Digital Design, a leading manufacturer of marking and coding products, announced the latest innovation in their Evolution™ thermal inkjet product line, the Evolution IV™, providing the ability to print up to 1” alpha/numeric characters, as well as barcodes and graphics, with a single printhead. Manufacturers printing on secondary packaging that require a one-inch print can now do so without adding additional printheads, benefiting from crisper codes, easier system setup that runs with little-to-no maintenance, and lower total cost of ownership.
The Evolution IV, like its predecessors in the Evolution product line, uses thermal inkjet (TIJ) technology to deliver a high-resolution print with a clean, self-contained system that is easy to install in just minutes. The Evolution IV is the first system of its kind to pair a one-inch printhead with an integrated ink supply in a 128-mL cartridge. The proprietary cartridge design, conceived and developed by Digital Design, decreases the time required for cartridge changes, reduces downtime on the packaging line, and eliminates the maintenance and repair schedules required of other types of inkjet technologies.
