The United Barcode Systems Aplink MRX high-resolution inkjet system allows up to four 72mm-high printheads to be driven from a single touch screen controller. High-definition text, graphics, barcodes and 2D codes can be printed onto porous surfaces including cardboard, paper and timber.
The MRX system offers an environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to applying labels. A single 1-litre bottle of ink typically prints over 200,000 images equivalent to a 100x120mm label therefore replacing 350Kg of labels and the associated freight carbon for transporting the raw materials to the label producer then from the label producer to the end user. There is also no backing paper water to dispose of which generally cannot be recycled… and the cost per print is significantly lower than using a label.
