May 2011: In its quest to change market perceptions of marking and coding machines, Markem-Imaje is proud to introduce the 9232 small character inkjet printer, offering increased uptime, less waste, reduced costs and minimal impact on the environment. The 9232 is designed to enhance the standards of continuous inkjet technology by providing optimum and intuitive management of marking solutions.
Rowan Beattie, managing director of Pyrotec, a leading privately-owned South African product identification solutions provider, says the 9232 offers environmental and cost-of-ownership benefits that outperform its competitors. “The new small character inkjet printer from Markem-Imaje offers improved speeds, great cost-savings and a much lessened impact on the environment, while also integrating seamlessly with existing factory-level printing equipment.”
Through its PackMark division, Pyrotec provides factory-level printing equipment to a range of South African companies, and is the sole distributor of Markem-Imaje products in South Africa. Pyrotec PackMark sells and rents equipment and provides the consumables necessary to run them, while also taking care of any maintenance and repairs that may be needed.
The new 9232 delivers optimal marking and coding management thanks to improved cost control, reduced waste, eco-friendly ink options, enhanced printing performance and more reliable day-to-day operation. Markem-Imaje offers five tangible customer benefits with the 9232, including:
1. Cost reduction: Enhanced ink cartridge life, reduced additive consumption and a full 18-month warranty means you can focus on your business without worrying about any unexpected costs.
2. Operation optimisation: The 9232 has real-time display of remaining print capacity, fast, safe consumable changing with no need to stop printing, and a new user interface with a 7-inch colour touch screen.
3. Unmatched reliability: With an availability ratio of up to 99.6% that requires no assistance due to its new ink circuit and innovative printhead, underlined by a full 18-month warranty, the 9232 won’t let you down.
4. High-performance printing: Superior technology allows the 9232 to print speeds of up to 6.6m/s with an optional ultrarapid print mode for high-speed printing.
5. Eco-initiatives: Made from 80% recyclable materials, and with the option of using new ketone-free and MEK-free inks, customers can feel comfortable that their impact on the environment is minimal.
“With a range of powerful features such as three printing speeds, multi-line printing, high-contrast coding and improved printing capacity, the 9232 is a great choice for the eco-conscious customer who doesn’t want to sacrifice speed or quality for environmental benefits. And with easy integration into other Markem-Imaje products, such as the CoLOS Enterprise software, the new small character inkject printer from Markem-Imaje is a welcome addition to any printing factory floor,” Beattie concludes.
