Solutions for:
Senior Leadership
Your Challenges:
- Concerned by increasing lack of productivity, caused by maintenance-intensive legacy printers.
- Customer complaints regarding poor or unreadable date codes.
Our Solutions:
- Using the latest inkjet technology from HP, which is virtually free of maintenance requirements.
- ClearMark™ printers can print in high-resolution, providing excellent print quality, legible date codes, and high barcode grades.
Operations Management
Your Challenges:
- Excessive cleaning and maintenance needs for legacy inkjet printers.
- Long start-up times, after the packaging line has been stopped for a while.
- Expensive service plans.
- QA issues with poor print quality.
Our Solutions:
- ClearMark printers use self-contained ink cartridges, which cause zero mess and need little to no maintenance attention. Printer downtime is very rare, compared to traditional printers.
- There is no cleaning, priming, or waiting for the viscosity to settle before the ClearMark printer is ready to print.
- No service plans are needed with ClearMark printers.
- Unlike legacy CIJ printers, ClearMark prints in high-resolution and produces excellent print quality on a wide range of substrates.
Operators & Technicians
Your Challenges:
- Maintenance intensive inkjet printers.
- Complicated setup procedures.
- The need to flush and clean regularly.
- Both maintenance techs and operators need training to keep the printers running.
Our Solutions:
- ClearMark virtually ellimatates maintenance downtime - the printhead is part of the ink cartrige, so both are replaced together.
- ClearMark's HMI is quick to learn and easy to operate.
- Flushing and cleaning is a thing of the past. A quick wipe of the printhead on startup is the most that usually needs to be done.
- There is minimal training involved with setting, using and maintaining the ClearMark system.
