Linx launches coding printer for secondary packaging

Linx Printing Technologies has launched a new thermal inkjet printer for the labelling of secondary packaging.

The Linx IJ200 has been designed to print large characters and reliable linear and 2D barcodes directly onto boxes and cartons.

A wide range of inks and spot colours are available and Linx said the user would benefit from a quick start-up time – the machine is operational within 50 seconds of being switched on.

Linx described the machine as a cost-effective, hassle-free alternative to label printing that was ideal for smaller firms.

"Such companies rarely have on-site maintenance, so they need a reliable solution to print secondary codes simply, cleanly and with no hidden costs," said marketing director Paul Doody.

The IJ200 prints with a resolution of 600dpi at speeds of up to 120m a minute and can also support two 50mm printhead assemblies for extra flexibility.
