Domino Launches New Thermal Inkjet Solution for Flexible Packaging Applications

01 July 2024

Domino Printing Sciences (Domino) is pleased to announce the launch of a new thermal inkjet (TIJ) solution designed specifically for flexible packaging lines, including food applications. The new TIJ into TTO solution with the Domino Gx-Series range has been developed as an efficient, cost-effective alternative to traditional thermal transfer overprinting (TTO) for flexible packaging lines requiring simple 1-, 2-, or 4-line printed text codes and small-sized 2D codes up to 10mm2.

Speaking about their experience using the TIJ into TTO solution with the Domino Gx-Series range, a spokesperson from a major food and beverage brand, said: “Switching to Gx-series printers has meant we have gone from changing consumables twice per shift to once every four days – this has significantly reduced the number of line stoppages for consumable changes, helping to increase overall productivity.”

In sample cost calculations, Domino’s solution offered up to 95% waste savings and 70% cost savings from consumables and downtime compared with standard TTO solutions printing 1- and 2-line text codes, and 4-line text codes using two printheads, offering a return on investment in as little as 12 months.

“At Domino, we pride ourselves on being able to support our customers with the most appropriate coding solution based on their individual needs, regardless of substrate, product, or production line,” says Paul Clarke, Portfolio Director, Domino Printing Sciences. “When it comes to printing on flexible packaging, there is no one-size-fits-all solution that will work for every manufacturer. Our TIJ into TTO solution with the Domino Gx-Series range has been developed as a cost-effective solution for manufacturers requiring simple codes on flexible packaging, and we are incredibly proud to bring this solution to the market.”

“For flexible packaging lines with alternative code requirements, including complex text, graphics, and larger-sized 1D and 2D barcodes, we have multiple alternative solutions, including our new Vx-Series TTO printers and UV laser for recyclable plastic films.”
