Industries such as food, beverage, and logistics rely on precision, speed, and efficiency in every aspect of their operations. One critical part of that process is product marking and coding. For companies seeking a reliable and cost-effective solution for printing on corrugated cases, trays, and films, the Markem-Imaje 5800 Piezo inkjet printer, a game-changer for high resolution large character printing stands out as an ideal choice. This powerful printer integrates high-resolution large character printing with a suite of modern features that streamline operations, reduce costs, and enhance sustainability.
Companies often face several coding and marking challenges. Whether it’s ensuring that text, logos, and barcodes remain crisp and legible, or managing complex print jobs with multiple colours, having the right technology is essential. Bleeding, fading, or unreadable barcodes are unacceptable, especially when they affect traceability or inventory management.
This is where the Markem-Imaje 5800 come in. Engineered for high-contrast, 100% readable printing, it is the perfect solution for businesses that require superior print quality. It utilises Touch Dry® technology, which ensures that prints never bleed or fade—something that’s vital when producing barcodes like GS1-128, which need to remain scannable throughout the product’s life cycle.
The 5800 Piezo inkjet printer is more than just a high-quality marking tool. Its unique Touch Dry® ink ensures that even high-density, high-volume printing jobs are handled with minimal waste and mess, reducing overall operational costs. Since the inks are solvent-free, they also provide an eco-friendly solution, helping companies lower their environmental footprint. This is especially important in industries like food and beverage, where sustainability is a growing priority.
In addition to its environmental benefits, the printer's C-grade GS1-128 barcoding capability ensures that codes are easily readable and scannable across a range of substrates, such as corrugate, films, and polystyrene. This enhances traceability and compliance, which is crucial for product safety and supply chain efficiency.
Space constraints are a common issue on production floors, but the Markem-Imaje 5800 has been designed with compactness in mind. Its small controller box allows it to fit seamlessly into any production line without taking up too much floor space.
But don’t let its size fool you—this machine is a productivity powerhouse. With four adjustable Intelli’Wax printheads, the 5800 can handle up to four different colours of ink on the same line, all without compromising on speed or quality. It can print up to 121 meters per minute, with text and barcodes that range from 65mm to 3000mm in length. This high volume, high-speed output makes the printer ideal for businesses that need to manage a variety of labelling jobs quickly and efficiently.
What’s more, the refill-while-operating feature allows ink cartridges to be replaced without stopping the production line, minimising downtime and maximizing output. This capability is particularly beneficial for industries with high production demands, allowing for smooth, uninterrupted workflow even during long print runs.
One of the standout aspects of the Markem-Imaje 5800 is its ease of use. The printer’s intuitive touchscreen display and simple menu structure make it incredibly easy for operators to manage print jobs. Even in environments where multiple labelling tasks need to be coordinated, the CoLOS job creation and data management system allows for centralised control of all printing operations. This not only improves accuracy and consistency across production lines but also simplifies traceability, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
The Markem-Imaje 5800 Piezo inkjet printer is a versatile and high-performance solution for companies in the food, beverage, and other industrial sectors. Its ability to produce high-resolution, high-contrast barcodes and labels, even on challenging substrates like corrugated cases and films, makes it an invaluable asset on any production floor. By combining productivity, eco-friendliness, and ease of use, the 5800 provides a superior coding and marking solution that meets the demands of modern industries.
For businesses looking to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the quality of their marking systems, the Markem-Imaje 5800 is an investment that delivers tangible results.
