Domino Presents Capabilities Of World's Best Selling A-Series Continuous Ink Jet Printer At Cartes 2007

Domino Printing Sciences Plc is presenting the high speed numbering and personalisation capabilities of its versatile A-Series range, the world's best-selling continuous ink jet printer, at Cartes 2007. On its stand, number 3F 094, Domino will show an A400 CP, which provides a reliable option for the inline printing of one and two lines of variable text and simple barcodes at speed, onto plastic cards. The flexible A-Series CP range delivers proven, high quality variable data print capabilities without compromising existing print production lines. The versatility of the A-Series printers allows them to be applied to a wide range of applications as part of a total print solution, or to be used with Domino's range of Protocols and Controllers, to form a complete integrated system solution. In addition, Domino's unique FreeForm™ technology enables the A-Series to use a technique that allows drops to be placed with greater accuracy and density, giving a new standard of quality and readability. Easily incorporated into existing card production lines, the A-Series CP ensures maximum productivity with minimal operator intervention. The complete start up and shut down process is controlled by one button, while the unique ink system design, using large internal reservoirs and a nozzle seal, allows the A-Series CP to have truly automatic print head cleaning, eliminating the aggravation of persistent manual cleaning and unscheduled servicing. In addition, the A-Series is available with a wide range of inks, offering a variety of colours, fast drying and durable properties as well as invisible security inks, which can be applied to a vast array of substrates. Whether running continuously or being shut down daily, the A-Series print head technology delivers precise print every time. The lightweight print head can be installed on virtually any card production line, and its flexible configuration allows easy removal and repositioning of the head for precise and efficient job set up. In addition, the printers only require one electrical connection, thereby eliminating the need for a factory air supply. Product Director of Commercial Print at Domino, Philip Easton says, 'The worldwide success of the A-Series gives card manufacturers complete confidence that they are investing in a totally reliable, cost effective variable data print solution that can deliver a range of less complex print requirements, such as text, membership details, numbering and simple bar codes.'
