Squid Ink’s CoPilot^® Max LT long throw printing system has redefined the hi-resolution industrial ink jet coding and marking industry with an unprecedented 10-12mm throw distance. That’s up to .5” away from the substrate, ideal for overfilled cases, angled or recessed surfaces, irregular
shaped products, or inconsistent product handling. Extended throw distance is also helpful to protect the printhead from fast moving cases or heavy industrial products. Of particular note is that the Max LT print speed is up to 220 ft/min at 300 dpi resolution for barcodes and graphics, and up to 440 ft/min at 150 dpi resolution for text to meet almost any speed requirement.

Now you can stock blank generic cases and print directly on your cases, on-demand, just-in-time, in any quantity. Vertical print resolution is 360 dpi. Case SKU’s can now be case sizes, instead of many product SKU’s. The cost savings is significant! You can use your CoPilot Gemini on your production lines and also on an Eastey off-line Vertical Case Transport System (VCTS) and use one Gemini printer to print cases for all of your production lines and hand pack stations.

Consumers want “Environmentally Friendly” products in almost every category.

This is especially true in Food Processing facilities all over the U.S.A, and the world. Their consumer customers want safer everything.

Ink Jet Case Coder ink is no exception. Ink vapors in the air can sometimes bond with products and impact product quality and taste and some inks have hazardous ingredients stated on their SDS safety documents.

What is a GSI COLORIZE Ink Jet Printer all about?

It’s no secret that color really helps sell consumer products!

That color is typically printed on the outside of a white or brown carton or smaller white set up boxes.

Preprinted corrugated cases and glossy boxes are expensive. You need a preprinted case for every SKU you sell in those boxes.

NOLABEL ink jet printers – why are they needed?

Walmart, Target, and other consumer goods retailers have automated their receiving at their Distribution Centers.

They are using scanners on their conveyors to scan barcodes on boxes that are being unloaded. They want white labels with barcodes printed on them. Pressure sensitive printed labels are expensive especially when you are labeling thousands of cases. Labels required on two sides of a case are twice as expensive.
