Printing technologies

Full flexibility and global know-how for your success

Markoprint is committed to providing perfect solutions for your industrial marking and coding challenges. Our worldwide partnerships are an important key to success for this mission. Together with our suppliers of innovative printing technologies for Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) and Piezo Inkjet (PIJ) systems, we can always guarantee "state of the art" developments.

HP Class printing systems are perfectly suited for complicated installation positions thanks to small and compact print heads. Designed for harsh production environments, they are not only vibration resistant, but their ink achieves high absorbency on many surfaces. They reach printing heights of up to 12.5 mm.

Your benefits:

  • Small and compact printheads
  • High printing speed of up to 180 m/min at 300 dpi
  • No moving parts that wear out quickly
  • No leakage of ink (clean handling)
  • Click'n'Print technology for easy cartridge replacement

LX Class systems shine with a greater printing distance at high speeds. With them, prints with a distance of up to 10 mm to the product can be realised. Four controllable nozzle rows ensure high product availability. Their cartridges are especially suitable for industrial applications.

Your benefits:

  • NonStopPrinting printhead available (no production stops)
  • Up to 100 mm print image height
  • High resolution up to 900 x 600 dpi
  • No maintenance costs (replacement of the print head with every cartridge change)
  • Auto setup for automatic setting of ink parameters and ink level control

Markoprint MX Class systems provides excellent printing on absorbent surfaces such as white and brown cartons. It enables vibration-free mounting and is ideal for all applications where high ink consumption is required. The ability to print larger logos and fonts higher than 4 mm complete the advantages.

Your benefits:

  • Well-priced consumption materials
  • Maintenance-free
  • Up to 800 mm printing height of images
  • Perfect for larger barcodes
  • Uninterrupted ink bottle replacement

XR Class systems enable printing heights from 25 mm to 71 mm and print high-resolution barcodes over 12.5 mm in size. The use of a single printhead means that there is no offset in the print image. The 500 ml ink bottles eliminate the need for frequent cartridge changes in order to increase your productivity.

Your benefits:

  • Printing on slightly absorbent surfaces (coated/lacquered cardboard with recess printing area)
  • Easy commissioning and venting of the ink system
  • High resolution (up to 180 dpi)
  • Cheap maintenance

Our Markoprint PP Class systems can be easily integrated into any system environment. It is the preferred printing technology in all areas of maintenance. With its print resolution of up to 360 dpi, it meets a wide range of application requirements.

Your benefits:

  • Printing height: from 1.5 mm to 108 mm
  • Printing detailed logos and small texts from 1.5 mm
  • Printing on absorbent surfaces (white and brown carton)
  • Nearly maintenance-free
  • Recommended for large ink consumption

Our intelligent supplies actively monitor and control ink levels in our different Markoprint inkjet systems in real-time. They ensure that partially filled ink cartridges and bottles are detected by the printing system to report their filling levels to the controller. Integrated RFID chips, SmartCard features and internal memory help recognize ink types and prevent operators from using unlicensed consumables. Associated ink parameters are set automatically. Our smart cartridge technologies reduce your production downtime and help you get perfect print results every time!
