Solid / Dry Ink Coder

A solid hot ink coder, also known as a solid ink coding machine or solid ink printer, is a device used for marking or coding information on various surfaces using solid ink sticks. These coders are commonly used in industries such as packaging, labeling, and printing. Here are some key aspects of solid hot ink coders:

1. Printing Process: Hot ink coders utilize a heated printing element or printhead that contains characters or designs. The printhead is pressed against the substrate and the heat and pressure cause a solid ink ribbon or foil to melt and transfer onto the surface, creating the desired mark.

2. Versatility: Hot ink coders can mark on a variety of surfaces, including paper, cardboard, plastics, foils, films, and more. They can be used for flat surfaces, making them suitable for various packaging and labeling applications.

3. Ink Options: Hot ink coders use specialized solid ink ribbons or foils that come in different colors. These ribbons or foils contain solid ink that melts and adheres to the substrate under heat and pressure, providing durable and long-lasting marks.

4. Fast and Efficient: Hot ink coding machines can operate at high speeds, allowing for rapid marking and coding. They can keep up with fast-moving production lines, ensuring efficient and continuous printing.
