SQ2 DOD Carton Printer (Dual Head)
The SQ/2 is an industrial-strength printing system capable of producing high-quality dot-matrix characters on both porous surfaces (like corrugated cartons and wood) and non-porous surfaces (like plastics and glass). It offers manufacturers the flexibility to run one or two printheads, making it an adaptable solution for evolving production requirements.
Key Features & Design
- Flexible Print Configurations: Users can operate one or two printheads simultaneously, with three different character height options available: 3/4″, 1/2″, or 3/8″.
- Variable Character Matrix: All printheads can print in both 7 x 5 and 5 x 5 matrices, allowing for a total height range of 1/4″ to 3/4″.
- Rugged Construction: The unit features heavy-duty gauge coated steel cabinetry designed to withstand harsh, real-world industrial environments.
- Dual Ink Compatibility: Depending on the model chosen, the system uses water-based inks for porous materials or solvent-based inks for non-porous products.
- Modular Components: Printheads, PC cards, and air pump modules are field-installable, allowing for easy upgrades or quick repairs.
Operational Efficiency
- Simple Programming: A state-of-the-art input device (or a connected PC via RS-232 port) utilizes resident software and prompts to program and retrieve up to 64 messages.
- Integrated Software Features: The system includes a 24-hour clock, Julian date, lot counter, and options for inverted or reverse printing.
- High-Speed Performance: It supports line speeds ranging from 20 to 200 feet per minute, with optional firmware available for slower speeds.
- Minimal Maintenance: The water-based system uses patented SQ-60M no-clog ink, which can be left in printheads for extended periods without flushing or cleaning.
- Self-Contained Air: The SQ/2 requires no external air source for operation.
Cost Benefits
- Low Cost of Ownership: The SQ/2 claims the lowest price per printed character in the industry today.
- Reduced Component Costs: Patented micro-channeling and plunger technology eliminate the need for expensive fluid valves commonly found in other printers.
- Elimination of Service Calls: The system is engineered so that most fixes can be completed in less than five minutes by the user, minimizing downtime.
- Bulk Ink Options: While a 0.5-gallon bottle is standard, users can upgrade to a 5.0-gallon pail (for water-based ink) to further reduce long-term costs.
