New Print and Apply Labeling System with Intelligent Motion™ Technology Delivers What No Other Labeler Can

Innovatively designed, Videojet® 9550 LPA system increases reliability, efficiency and productivity for outer case and bundle packaging

Chicago, Ill — May 8, 2014 — As manufacturers implement lean practices, operations teams are focused on high value tasks with limited time to focus on end-of-line labeling systems that require mechanical adjustments and frequent intervention. Responding to these needs, Videojet Technologies, a global leader in coding, marking and printing solutions, has taken an innovative approach to Print & Apply labeling LPA design with the Videojet 9550 to address, and fix, the common causes of lost productivity. This new design removes the mechanisms that frequently cause everyday operational problems, such as label jams and routine manual adjustments.

Ondrej Kruk, global business unit manager at Videojet adds, “The 9550 with Direct Apply places the label onto the pack without the need for a tamp or air blast applicator, achieving throughput of up to 150 packs per minute for typical 4” x 6” GS1 barcode labels. This means it never misses a label, even after line build-backs.”

By incorporating Intelligent Motion technology, the entire system is precisely and electronically controlled, targeting zero unscheduled downtime on production lines. “Customer feedback about lost production time made it clear there was a need for advanced labeling technology to improve operating performance. In response, we designed the new Videojet 9550 LPA system incorporating Intelligent Motion technology,” said Steve Buckby, vice president of Innovation at Videojet Technologies. “Intelligent Motion technology enables all the design elements of the machine to be automatically controlled with precision, allowing us to simply take out the parts and adjustments that make most other labelling machines fail.”

Manual adjustments are one of the main causes of daily operational problems, resulting in costly downtime and production loss. The 9550’s direct drive system, with Intelligent Motion technology, feeds and places labels accurately even at high line speeds without the use of manual adjustments, clutches or nip rollers. No adjustments means that only two operator touches are now required to manage job selection and web changeover, complemented by a collapsible mandrel to ensure quick label changes. The Direct Drive system with Intelligent Motion technology, unlike conventional print & apply labelers, controls the entire label path ensuring web tension is maintained from start to finish, irrespective of speed or label size.

The unique ability of the new Videojet 9550 Direct Apply system removes the need for complex applicators for mainstream top or side label applications, reducing the number of labels being incorrectly applied or mangled during application. Requiring no factory air, the new system is the only solution to print and directly apply labels to cases and trays at high speed. The 9550’s print engine also incorporates Intelligent Motion technology for precise ribbon feed and printhead control, ensuring optimum print quality and improved performance. Through use of a clutch-less ribbon drive, the 9550 substantially reduces ribbon waste and improves printhead life.

The trends toward increasing retailer and regulatory requirements and increasing SKU complexity is a main concern for manufacturers seeking to safeguard their operations from costly labeling errors. To help manufacturers improve quality and adhere to applicable standards, the 9550 comes equipped with the Videojet industry-leading CLARiTY™ touch screen interface which includes intuitive job selection, comprehensive feedback and diagnostics to minimize human error. This single, easy-to-use interface provides manufacturers with built-in Code Assurance solutions that focus on getting the right label on the right case, time after time.

Kruk said, “With virtually zero unscheduled downtime and the highly-reliable Direct Apply label placement, we can finally give customers what no other labeler has been able to provide for the past 20 years. The application of Intelligent Motion technology to eliminate the mechanical adjustments used in everyday operation reduces manufacturers’ hidden costs and drives productivity gains.”

VIDEOJET® Introduces New White and Red High Contrast Inks for Extrusion Applications

VIDEOJET® introduces revolutionary high-resolution printing technology for non-porous substrates that combines MEK-based industrial ink performance with the simplicity of Thermal inkjet

Chicago, Illinois.—March 19, 2014 — Responding to the needs of food packaging, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics operations for high resolution coding on non-porous packaging, Videojet Technologies, a leader in coding, marking and printing solutions, introduces its latest innovation in thermal inkjet printers, the Videojet 8610. Utilizing fast-drying inks including MEK-based fluids, the 8610 provides high resolution print on non-porous packaging materials including films, foils, plastics, and coated stocks.

Incorporating a patented cartridge for industrial inks including MEK-based printing fluids, the Videojet 8610 offers the ideal suite of performance attributes for any thermal inkjet solution on the market today. “Videojet has long recognized the growing needs of packaging professionals to in-line print multi-line codes and other high resolution marks, including DataMatrix and QR codes, without modifying their packaging designs. The innovation inherent in the 8610 is our new industrial ink cartridge technology – a fully contained, high resolution print cartridge designed specifically to jet MEK-based inks,” commented Chris Riley, Vice President of Marketing for Videojet. “Coupled with the automated Cartridge Readiness System™, the 8610 print system is ready when you are, regardless of the frequency or length of common line interruptions. The result is the ability to use fast-drying solvent inks such as MEK and still achieve clean, repeatable codes time after time.” With print resolutions of up to four times greater than continuous inkjet technology, the 8610 offers near-letter quality printing with excellent edge acuity, addressing a long-standing need for manufacturers trying to print high resolution marks on these challenging substrates.

The Videojet 8610 print system is comprised of three main components – a controller with user interface, an industrial printhead featuring the innovative Cartridge Readiness System™ and a disposable inkjet cartridge. “For manufacturers with flat, controlled substrates, the 8610 is arguably the simplest MEK printing system available,” added Riley. “The 8610 has been designed from the very beginning to focus on simple usability. Maintenance is minimal and only requires an occasional wipe of the print array and the shutter. Ink replenishment is accomplished with a simple cartridge change, a task that can be performed in 15 seconds or less by a novice operator. Additionally, there are no wear parts to replace and no calibration or tuning required – freeing up production personnel to focus on other line demands.”

In demanding, high throughput environments, reaching production targets can often mean working packaging lines to the limit of their capacity. Videojet understands that any unplanned line stoppage directly impacts productivity and consequently profits. The 8610 design brings a new dimension to printer availability as each cartridge change provides a new print array, helping to ensure peak performance. And with on-board Code Assurance, the 8610 controller simplifies job selection and data entry, helping to ensure code accuracy by enabling operators to get the right code, on the right product, time after time.

“Experience tells us that having great print quality is never sufficient by itself, it must also be relevant to the application needs of our customers. This latest Videojet innovation provides a robust industrial solution for customers with demanding applications that are currently not well served by available technologies. We strive to find solutions that meet our customers’ needs and we are excited to bring revolutionary print performance and ease of use to our customers with the Videojet 8610,” said Riley.

VIDEOJET® Offers Meat and Poultry Manufacturers Tips for Finding the Right Printer to Meet Coding and Marking Needs

WOOD DALE, Ill. — February 2014 — As food safety continues to be a global issue, more regulations have been established to improve product identification and brand protection. With the risk of food recalls, and different traceability requirements, meat and poultry manufacturers must accurately and clearly code all products in order to protect brands and increase supply chain control. The right coding and marking technology can have a significant impact on a company’s efficiency in tracking its products throughout the supply chain.

Videojet Technologies Inc., a world-leading manufacturer of coding, printing and laser marking products, fluids and accessories for the product identification industry, shares key tips that meat and poultry manufacturers can keep in mind when determining which coding and marking technology might be the best fit:

Evaluate Needs, Consider Environment Risks: Identify the application the technology will be used for, how the product will be coded and where the code will be located. Keep in mind some codes will rub off or run when used on certain plastics or films often utilized in the meat and poultry industry. Take time to consider the substrate, packaging line speed, substrate handling and transport, installation considerations and cost when looking at technology options. Production environment risk areas such as sanitation procedures, washdown cycles and plant temperatures all play an important role in equipment and inks performance. A printer with stainless steel construction can offer an advantage over aluminum due to its non-porous and non-corrosive nature. A high resistance to rust is necessary to bring the manufacturing line up to hygienic design standards. Some inks are not designed to work in the cold temperatures of many processing plants. Look for an ink formulated to achieve adhesion, durability and consistent printer performance even in colder temperatures.

Determine the Best Option:. Each coding technology offers different benefits based upon a manufacturer or processor’s needs, so researching the technologies will help narrow down the best solution(s) to meet specific requirements.
Thermal Transfer Overprinters (TTO) – Many TTO coders can deteriorate from water damage during the washdown process. Employing a TTO coder that has an appropriate Ingress Protection (IP) rating can protect the sensitive equipment while saving time and reducing costs.
Continuous inkjet Printers (CIJ) – Designed for complex meat and poultry processing environments, CIJ printers such as the Videojet 1000 Line feature printheads that automatically adjust jetting parameters in response to changes in temperature. .
Laser printers – Laser printers offer high resolution and create clear and permanent codes based on one of three techniques: 1. Color change due to a chemical reaction; 2. engraving; 3. Ablation or removal of the surface coating. Lasers work well on trays, cartons, sleeves, cans, jars and cases.
Run Sample Tests: Due to the variability across packaging types and line configurations, it may be necessary to test multiple coding solutions in order to establish the best fit. Conducting sample tests will help verify which technology will provide optimal codes on the tested substrates or products.

Working with an experienced vendor will give meat and poultry manufacturers access to the knowledge and resources needed to select the right coding and marking technologies. Videojet suggests partnering with a vendor that has a wide range of technologies and a comprehensive understanding of the industry. Additionally, a vendor who offers code assurance tools can help meat and poultry companies prevent recall risks and counterfeiting while increasing product authentication.

CLARiSUITE™ WebServer Extends the Promise of “The Right Code on the Right Product”

Videojet Enhances Code Assurance Product Line with CLARiSUITE™ WebServer Software Solution, Improving Accessibility and Productivity for Evolving IT Infrastructure

Chicago, Illinois – February 11, 2014 – In an ever-changing marketplace, operational flexibility is key to growth and a requirement for manufacturers – especially for those operating multiple production lines. Now, more than ever, it is essential for manufacturers to ensure that their product and packaging coding is accurate and complicit with legal and retailer industry regulations. To meet manufacturers’ needs and demands of coding and marking flexibility as well as improved Quality and Availability, Videojet Technologies, a global leader in coding and printing solutions, has enhanced its CLARiSUITE™ software product line with the launch of CLARiSUITE™ WebServer Edition. The new CLARiSUITE™ WebServer Edition offers functionality to help drive sustainable improvements in Overall Equipment Effectiveness, by helping manufacturers remove inefficiencies and the risk of operator error including data entry and job selection. Furthermore, the upgraded software helps enable manufacturers to monitor and control a specific job, line or printer from multiple locations and is adapted to run as a service in modern IT environments with physical and virtual servers and no need for a hardware dongle.

“Until now, printer network, job management and status overview updates were limited to a central computer – so manufacturers were hampered and confined to controlling their print jobs from a single location,” said Colin Morgan, Product Manager for Software Solutions, Videojet Technologies. “The key advantage of CLARiSUITE™ WebServer is that it can be left running unattended and controlled remotely via a web browser. Manufacturers are able to observe the status of the printer, download a specific job and control multiple printers in multiple locations.” As part of its ongoing customer commitment to enhance its software solution and meet customer demands, Videojet’s CLARiSUITE™ WebServer software solution reduces the amount of time operators need to visit their production sites and lines, as they are able to observe the status of the printer, configure it and download jobs over any web browser within their networked environment.

CLARiSUITE™ WebServer also allows manufacturers, in the event of a problem occurring, to respond more rapidly and minimize downtime, since operators with access to the web server can check the status of a job, regardless of their location. In today’s global-orientated market, there is amplified reliance on manufacturers to run several production lines simultaneously with numerous products per line and codes to manage. CLARiSUITE™ WebServer operates as a service independent from the main server – to meet IT infrastructure demands – so the main user administration interface is detached and runs on any machine on the network, unlike traditional applications hosted on a single computer server. The monitoring software therefore is always active, eradicating the need for human intervention to start the program each time, increasing production line productivity and round-the-clock performance reporting.

Morgan added, “Videojet’s CLARiSUITE™ WebServer improves the manufacturers’ ability to control the marking of their products, allowing them more flexibility, while preventing coding errors and helping to ensure print job consistency and security.”

Available across a wide range of Videojet’s marking and coding systems for a high level of close integration, for more information about CLARiSUITE™ WebServer, call 1-800-843-3610 or visit www.videojet.com.

Videojet DataFlex® Plus Thermal Transfer Overprinter Provides Flexibility and Simplicity while Minimizing Downtime

WOOD DALE, Ill. — November 19, 2013 –- Videojet Technologies Inc., a world-leading manufacturer of industrial inkjet systems, fluids and accessories for the product identification industry, announced that Tea & Coffee Company has seen a reduction in line stops, downtime and storage space after implementing the DataFlex® Plus Thermal Transfer Overprinter (TTO) on its packaging line.

Located in Edmonton and Alberta, Canada, Tea & Coffee Company is a distributor and wholesaler of fresh roasted specialty gourmet coffees, gourmet loose teas, syrups, espresso machines, coffee grinders and coffee brewing equipment. The company supplies many offices, shops, cafes and restaurants across Canada with its premium coffees, roasted daily using only the highest grades of Arabica beans from the world’s finest coffee growing regions. Tea & Coffee Company turned to Videojet when it made a decision to update how it printed and coded on its products.

“Before implementing the DataFlex Plus, we had to order and store multiple rolls of prefinished film. Every time we wanted to package a different coffee, it was a minimum of 30 minutes to find the right film and install it in the form, fill, seal machine,” said Butch Foster, senior packaging operator, Tea & Coffee Company. “Now we only have two films – one with our logo and one generic where we use the DataFlex Plus to print our coffee type and sizes – and the changeover takes 30 seconds.“

With the DataFlex Plus, all of the label information is entered using an intuitive, high-resolution graphical interface and color touchscreen with easy-to-learn, icon-based controls and a WYSIWYG image display to reduce downloading and entry errors. Because the label information is pre-programmed, the operator can easily change the printer data by downloading it from the computer onto a memory stick and plugging it into the DataFlex Plus control interface.

“Customers like Tea & Coffee Company are looking for flexibility and simplicity when it comes to printing and coding,” said Warren Boudreau, Sales Engineer for Videojet. “The DataFlex Plus answers these needs while providing a highly reliable solution that minimizes maintenance and downtime so that they can focus on delivering the best possible product and not worry about the printing.”

VIDEOJET® Introduces Three New Inks Specifically Designed for Its Newest Line of Ultra High Speed (UHS) Continuous inkjet Printers

VIDEOJET® Introduces Three New Inks Specifically Designed for Its Newest Line of Ultra High Speed (UHS) Continuous inkjet Printers

Videojet to spotlight UHS technology at PackExpo 2013 in Las Vegas

Wood Dale, Ill—September 23, 2013 — Videojet Technologies Inc., a world-leading manufacturer of coding, marking, and printing products, today announced three new Ultra High Speed (UHS) inks for its line of UHS continuous inkjet printers. These new inks – V516-D, V517-D and V530-D – join a family of ten other UHS compatible inks that have been extensively tested across a broad range of print speeds and environmental condition extremes. Designed for optimal drop formation, Videojet UHS inks are held to the highest quality control standards, which means customers can experience top print quality at the highest speeds.

“We are pleased to announce three new UHS inks at Pack Expo 2013 where we are showing our recently released Videojet 1620 and 1650 UHS continuous inkjet printers. We developed the UHS inks to provide exceptional coding quality that our high speed application customers have come to rely on,” said John Kirschner, Videojet supplies business manager. “Our family of UHS inks continues to grow with the addition of these three new inks – each specially engineered for unique coding applications.”

V516-D Black Retort-Resistance Ink

Designed for better code durability, this black, non-color changing retortable ink can withstand tough high-temperature steam/water bath processes commonly used in cooking prepared food containers after filling and sealing. Foods such as vegetables, beans and baby foods requiring a retort process are cooked in a variety of containers such as metal cans and foil/plastic pouches. Challenges to ink survivability come from these foods undergoing high-temperature, high-moisture cooking processes, as well as being stacked throughout this process where codes come into contact with other containers. Typically dry in one to two seconds, V516-D ink provides manufacturers and retailers with easy-to-read codes and improved adhesion, particularly on formed aluminum and metal alloy cans.

V517-D MEK-free, Thermochromic Ink

Videojet’s V517-D thermochromic ink changes from black to blue when coding onto heat-processed food containers made of a variety of metal, plastic and glass substrates. This ink provides good durability as well as superior adhesion through the rigorous cooking/retort process. Additionally, V517-D can serve as a general purpose black ink for food and pharmaceutical applications. Low solvent volatility of the ink and its associated make-up fluid means V517-D can offer a low total cost of ownership through lower make-up consumption.

V530-D MEK-free, Fast Dry General Purpose Black Ink

With excellent adhesion on plastics, metals, paper, wood, ceramic and glass, V530-D is a patented high performance ink that comes in an environmentally-friendly MEK-free formula. V530-D is specially designed for printing onto various hard-to-code plastics such as untreated polyethylene and polypropylene substrates typically found in the food packaging industry. Ideal for high speed production lines that require a fast dry time, V530-D can also endure cold temperatures resulting from storage in commercial freezers and refrigerators. It can withstand abrasions caused by product-to-product contact during stacking and production line transport.
