 The SmartDate® in-line
thermal transfer coders use thermal transfer technology to print
codes, dates, times and barcodes onto flexible packaging
material without mess or environmental concern. All of the
SmartDate models from MARKEM are easy to use and have globally-proven
reliability, giving maximum up-time for your packaging line.
Available in intermittent
operation
or
continuous operation versions, the SmartDate consistently
prints high-resolution high quality images, while keeping running
costs to a minimum. With many thousands installed worldwide,
SmartDate is the market leader for thermal transfer coding.
Increase Productivity. Automatic real time date coding with the flexibility of
printed information. Fully automatic, or simple keypad code change ensures minimum
set up time. Choose any data to print at the touch of a button, NO more manual
set up of characters and alignment, and NO warm-up time. Simple robust operation
and high reliability ensure efficient operation. The state-of-the-art SmartDate
design
avoids complex maintenance schedules.
Reduced Costs. Reduce ribbon
usage to a minimum by automatic, high accuracy foil advance -
all the time, whatever the print format. No chases, dyes, type
or stereos
are required.
 Consistent, clean, high quality
printing. High
resolution (300dpi) print, no temperature adjustment; no alignment
required; and no damage to bags or
labels
from hot type blocks. A wide choice of fonts/type faces, and sizes are available.
Security
of Printed Codes. Automatic time/date coding ensures
security of integrity of printed codes and complete product
traceability.
Pre-programmed
layouts
ensure correct print format, and restrict the information that can be modified
by the
operator. Increased security with multi-level and configurable, password
and keyswitch restricted access.
Simple installation, purpose built
as a direct replacement for hot foil coders and rotary coders,
SmartDate is simple to install, fitting in the
same position
as existing coders, without the need to control the web or modify machines.
