Choosing a printer

Four questions that decide it.

  1. How big does the mark need to be?

    Small codes up to 20 mm suit CIJ. Large text and logos up to 124 mm suit the DV-L500.

  2. How fast is your line?

    The DV-C500 keeps up with lines running at up to 384 m/min.

  3. What are you marking on?

    Material, shape and finish decide the ink — and often the printer.

  4. What is the environment like?

    Dust, moisture and washdown routines affect the protection rating you need.
