Markem-Imaje Extends Functionality of TTO Coders with Add-On Verification System
The functionality of Markem-Imaje's SmartDate thermal transfer overprinter (TTO) coders has been extended with an optional add-on that prevents product recalls and scrap by verifying the presence, position and quality of printed codes directly on film packaging.
Detect-Plus assesses prints on each pack ensuring codes do not jeopardize compliance through their absence, or package appeal by misplacement. Ribbon check systems, by contrast, can tell you the code has been printed but not that it was at the wrong angle or missed the pack entirely.
