Domino Printing Sciences announce the launch of the new Cx150i. The company’s latest piezo inkjet (PIJ) printer has been specifically developed to offer a solution for printing durable, large-area, high-resolution codes onto non-porous surfaces, including shelf-ready and secondary packaging.

“In today’s fast-paced, consumer-driven world, brands are increasingly looking to stand out and increase shelf appeal. This is driving a move away from plain, brown cardboard towards branded non-porous substrates for shelf-ready and display packaging,” says David Edwards, Product Manager – PIJ, Domino.

“With non-porous packaging, code durability can be an issue, particularly where food-contact materials are concerned. Compliant solutions often fall short of expectations regarding legibility and durability and can be wasteful in terms of overall ink and energy usage. We have developed the Cx150i with exactly these considerations in mind.”

Part of Domino’s proven Cx-Series range of PIJ printers, the Cx150i has been designed for large-area printing using durable, UV-curable inks for excellent scratch and rub resistance. The high-resolution (up to 600dpi) system can print exceptionally small characters of just 1mm, making it suitable for small Asian character sets, and dense 2D codes – including QR codes powered by GS1. A range of different inks are available, including options that adhere to international GMP standards and EuPIA compliance for safe use on secondary food packaging.
