Inexpensive Label Overprinter Added to Existing Label Applicator

Adding a label over-printer to an existing labeling machine can be difficult. There may not be space to fit a thermal transfer print engine and ribbon rolls, and then a separate encoder may be needed to synchronise the printer with the label’s movement. One of ATDs existing customers needed to add some real-time information to a pre-printed label. They asked if we could help. ATD suggested an IP500 Thermal Inkjet Printer. finn_forest_ip500 Integrating Label Over-Printer to Existing Label Applicator Systems The IP500 is the size of a small paperback book, so space was no problem. A simple mounting bracket allowed it to be fitted to the label applicator system with easy adjustment for different label sizes. The IP500 has a built-in speed controller, which was easily configured to match the labeler’s speed. Finally a small interface board was added to allow the existing product detector to trigger the printing each time a label is applied. The IP500 is easy to operate and maintain. Ink is supplied in a cartridge that clips into place. The cartridge also contains the printhead, so every time the cartridge is changed you have brand new printer!ip500-cartrdigefit A purge button on the back of the printer starts a cleaning cycle to maintain optimum print quality. Our customer only required two lines of text printing onto the label, but the IP500 is capable of up to 5 lines of text, graphics and barcodes at 300dpi. The final result was an inexpensive and mechanically simple upgrade to all the customer’s applicators.
