Sojet Elfin 1S
Sojet created their new flagship model, the “S” version of the Elfin 1, to address challenges when printing in areas where limited space is available. Also, the “S” model is “sealed” better to the environment, allowing for more reliable operation. With a separate 5” touchscreen controller, you are now able to install the print head INTO your equipment while having the convenience of controlling it from outside of the guarding. Its unique design provides all the power of the original Elfin 1, in a package that allows for printing clearly and precisely in more challenging environments. The built in dust cover allows ambient dust to be repelled from the ink cartridge area, allowing for even more reliability. Its’ robust, all metal construction allows for the industrial environment it was designed to work in.
Sojet Elfin 1
Sojet’s original flagship model was conceived to provide a low-cost printer alternative to compete in the growing world of TIJ printers. Packed with features found only on higher end printers, the Elfin 1 printer prevents obsolescence as your manufacturing line grows. The Elfin 1 printer can replace CIJ in many applications, providing substantial savings to the end user. Large 5″ touchscreen, fully networkable, high speeds and a large selection of today’s barcodes, make this unit a real winner!
Sojet Elfin 1H
This handheld version of the Elfin 1 unit includes a built-in encoder and guide wheels to allow for custom printing on most any flat surface. It’s bionic design allows for comfortable handling and coding while its included aviation carry case, and two Lithium Ion batteries allow for true freedom of mobility.
Sojet Elfin 2
Sojet upped the ante by providing a two-headed printer for more versatility. The included two heads can be used independently for two, ½” print coding lines OR they can be stitched together to allow up to 1″ of print, including text, graphics and barcodes. You select which mounting system you prefer. It also includes a larger 7″ touchscreen controller that is separate from the printhead assemblies.
Sojet Elfin 6 & 6C
The Elfin 6 series allows 3 to 6 printheads to be used either independently (1/2″ print height each) OR stitched together to create from 1.5″ to 3″ of print height. Customer decides how many printheads they wish to use and what method they wish to use to print, individually or stitched. Comes with the same large 7″ touchscreen and easy-to-use icon based software. Also comes in the Elfin 6C (curved) version.
Sojet Elfin 2C
Same as the Elfin 2, this version comes with the unique “curved” printhead design which allows for the same codes to now be printed on curved surfaces where the original Elfin 2 may not suffice. Still has all the same features as the Elfin 2.
Sojet Elfin 6E
The “E” version of the Elfin 6 is specifically designed to print on eggs, directly in the egg tray, using edible ink. It uses the “curved” version printheads in a specially designed frame that allows for custom setup to individual egg producers requirements.
UBS (United Barcode Systems) APLINK MRX Series Porous and Non-Porous UV LED High Resolution
The APLINK MX series printers are amazing, full featured printers, capable of up to 140 mm. The larger head sizes use Seiko printheads which already sets it apart from the standard heads normally used. The Seiko printhead is a highly reliable print engine which is reflected in the specification that it can normally endure up to 50% more activations in its life versus the nearest competitor. Typical printhead life is between 7 – 9 years using it one shift per day, 5 days per week.
One unique characteristic of this printer is that the printhead can receive fairly serious blows, hits and impacts while not losing any channels of print quality. Forget the continuous purging and priming of other systems, this procedure is almost completely gone in this unit.
Programming is done via PC or laptop and can be uploaded to the printer unit via Ethernet, USB, TCP or Wi-Fi. The MRX series printers are capable of printing all true type Windows fonts, graphics and all popular barcode protocols.
The printer also comes in the MRX UV model which, using UV curing ink and a heavy duty UV curing on-board LED lighting, allows barcodes and any other information to be applied to NON-POROUS surfaces such as plastic and steel.
