The EasyPrint MLP Apex is the ideal machine for in-line printing of batch codes, graphics, logos, sell-by dates, bar codes, and other variable information. The thermal transfer technology prints directly onto packaging substrates such as poly films, foil, cartons, and labels. The Apex provides solutions for multiple package coding and printing on all horizontal form, fill, and seal packaging machines. The Apex can print multiple lanes with an optional split platen design for printing multiple rows at the same time with one sweep of the print head.
Thermal transfer eliminates costly setup and inkjet cleanup, minimizing downtime. The Apex is an easy alternative to labels and pre-printed films and can print over 51,000 prints per ribbon. The Apex has an automatic, highly accurate, ribbon advance system that minimizes ribbon usage and delivers more prints per ribbon. Its unique electronic design enables printing at speeds up to 600 mm/sec. across a web.
Optional web advance system attaches directly to an MLP and allows for multiple rows of printing on HFFS machines, without the need for additional print stations.
