Solutions for:

Senior Leadership

Your Challenges:

• Concerned by increasing lack of productivity, caused by maintenance-intensive legacy printers.
• Customer complaints regarding poor or unreadable date codes.

Our Solutions:

• Using the latest inkjet technology from HP, which is virtually free of maintenance requirements.
• ClearMark™ printers can print in high-resolution, providing excellent print quality, legible date codes, and high barcode grades.

Operations Management

Your Challenges:

• Excessive cleaning and maintenance needs for legacy inkjet printers.
• Long start-up times, after the packaging line has been stopped for a while.
• Expensive service plans.
• QA issues with poor print quality.

Our Solutions:

• ClearMark printers use self-contained ink cartridges, which cause zero mess and need little to no maintenance attention. Printer downtime is very rare, compared to traditional printers.
• There is no cleaning, priming, or waiting for the viscosity to settle before the ClearMark printer is ready to print.
• No service plans are needed with ClearMark printers.
• Unlike legacy CIJ printers, ClearMark prints in high-resolution and produces excellent print quality on a wide range of substrates.

Operators & Technicians

Your Challenges:

• Maintenance intensive inkjet printers.
• Complicated setup procedures.
• The need to flush and clean regularly.
• Both maintenance techs and operators need training to keep the printers running.

Our Solutions:

• ClearMark virtually ellimatates maintenance downtime - the printhead is part of the ink cartrige, so both are replaced together.
• ClearMark's HMI is quick to learn and easy to operate.
• Flushing and cleaning is a thing of the past. A quick wipe of the printhead on startup is the most that usually needs to be done.
• There is minimal training involved with setting, using and maintaining the ClearMark system.
