Domino displays its A220 inkjet printer for coding
Domino showcased its A220 inkjet printer at PackPlus 2015. The machine is ideal for many coding applications, such as multiple line coding, clear and easy-to-read codes, traceability codes, and high-speed codes.

The easy-to-use field-based editor allows complex messages while reducing the need for operator training. It eliminates coding errors with its inbuilt security manager. If anyone requires a high-speed single line code of 325m/min or five lines of text, the A220 delivers the same.
“From the moment you press the start button, the A220 delivers great value. The clever design has reduced consumables usage while maintaining all of the strengths and value that the market has come to expect from the world’s best selling continuous inkjet printer. The A220 is capable of meeting the need for a wide range of multiple line or high speed applications onto most commonly used materials,” Anand of Domino said.
The leading A-Series SureStart print head contains an ink drop-generator with a vibrating drive rod. This creates ultrasonic pressure waves in the inkjet ink, breaking it up into individual droplets. When these droplets fall between a set of electrodes, individual droplets are intermittently charged. The size of the charge given to each droplet determines how far it will be deflected out of the stream when passing through the deflector plates. This determines its placement on the product.
By placing a collection of these droplets close together, a variety of characters are printed as the product passes the printhead. Ink droplets not deflected out of the stream are re-circulated to repeat the process. This is a highly efficient use of ink jetink, allowing many millions of characters to be printed from a litre of ink.
