The company has introduced the Cx350i, a piezo inkjet printer which has been optimised to achieve a 33% reduction in ink usage for barcodes printed at 200dpi when compared with previous generation secondary packaging printers.
As barcode quality is a top priority for manufacturers when printing on boxes, Domino developed a solution that matches the resolution of previous generation coders but delivers a far superior code in terms of print quality.
David Edwards, Product Manager – PIJ at Domino said: “Product coding and marking is an integral part of all global supply chains and as a leading global player, we have a responsibility to our customers, and to the world in general, to ensure that our products are specifically designed to minimise their environmental impact.
“The Cx350i achieves this objective. It offers our customers a sustainable solution for direct printing on boxes, delivering maximum code quality with minimal ink usage and has been designed to work exclusively with low-impact vegetable-oil-based printing inks. The result is sustainable printing without compromising on quality.”
The vegetable oil-based printing inks are helping to meet the global demand for recycled cardboard which is increasing year on year. Supporting the industry to move away from the use of mineral oil-based solutions, Domino is now investing in sustainable solutions for all current and future product development.
David Edwards concludes: “As a coding and marking supplier, we recognise that our customers can only achieve their sustainability goals with our collaboration and support. That’s why, as a company, we are committed to creating reliable solutions – like the Cx350i – that have a minimal impact on the environment and are designed to drive out waste, reduce errors and promote efficiency.”
