Selvedge printer

01/10/2008 10:14 AM

Am looking for a device to print lot number and graphic to the backside of film coated textiles to meet EU Council Directive on Marine Equipment (MED).

Printer is to be used to print roll good during the final inspection process of manufacturing. Application requires that the printer be mounted upside down under inspection table. Required to print lot # and graphic every 18" processed on selvedge of processed goods. Presently using thermal transfer unit "mongrelized" to fit our application. Presently seeking other possible options.

Pad or tampo printing?

Inkjet?

Roller printing?

Inkjet is the most flexible of the 3.

There are numerous technologies available, and depending on your type of operations, they may require more or less maintenance and infrastructure.

There are solvent based inks that will clog up if not used 24/7 and require a good exhaust.

UV curable inks will not smell as bad but require UV sheilding.

If your operations are discontinuous, seek drop on demand technology.

If your substrate is porous, there are paraffin based inks that do not emit VOC's or use UV to cure.

You also could consider Laser marking.
