UK-based gourmet popcorn manufacturer, Joe & Seph’s, has installed one of Allen Coding’s marking and coding specialist’s RX-S continuous small character inkjet printers at its facility in Watford.
The equipment is reportedly helping the popcorn-maker adhere to the stringent food packaging requirements of the Middle East.
Allen Coding has developed the printer to provide high speed printing and superior print head technology for stable drop placement and print quality.
RoHS compliant, user-friendly and easy to operate, RX-S does not need to be cleaned on a daily basis as print heads are automatically cleaned at the end of each cycle for reliable start/stop performance.
Joe & Seph's Joseph Sopher said: "We went to the PPMA show with the sole purpose of finding a reliable and accurate printer that could apply data codes directly onto pouches as required by countries in the Middle East. We liked the RX-S immediately and were also impressed by the sales engineer at Allen Coding who kindly agreed to let us test a system in the first instance.
"The RX-S was easy to install and to operate. It does what it says on the tin and easily kept pace with our bag sealer. The service from Allen Coding has been great so we were happy to go ahead with the investment. In fact, we are also considering buying another unit to meet future growth requirements."
The printer also comes with a 10.4 inch touch-screen control panel with full colour display which makes set up and reprogramming both simple and intuitive. Its data memory is expandable up to 2000 message types.
A standard USB interface can also help in backing up all print data. The printer can be remotely connected to an external equipment and can print up to four lines of text and a maximum of 1,000 print characters.
