EP IV Thermal Inkjet (Four Head)

The Loogal EP Series is a high-performance industrial inkjet printer designed for precision and high-speed coding on diverse packaging materials. The EP IV model specifically supports up to four printheads that can be operated independently or combined to achieve a total print height of 50.8mm (2 inches). It utilizes HP Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) 2.5 technology, which ensures crisp, reliable markings suitable for industries like food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

Key Features & Design

  • HP TIJ 2.5 Technology: Uses an original HP driving board to guarantee high-quality, high-resolution printing up to 600 DPI.

  • 10-Inch Touchscreen: Features a large, HD colorful touchscreen controller that balances simplicity and efficiency, making it easy to edit messages and view information.

  • Flexible Printhead Configuration: Supports 1–4 printheads that can be combined for large-format printing or separated for multiple production lines.

  • Compact Industrial Design: The printheads have a specialized compact design, allowing them to be integrated into existing production lines without taking up excessive space.

  • Versatile Printing Content: Capable of printing text, counters, dates, logos, Julian dates, real-time data, and over 15 types of 1D and 2D barcodes, including GS1 DataMatrix.

  • Connectivity: Equipped with an Ethernet port for communication, PLC connection, and support for external devices like scales and scanners.

Operational Efficiency

  • High-Speed Performance: Capable of printing speeds up to 23 pieces/second or up to 90 meters per minute (at 150×300 DPI).

  • User-Friendly Interface: The intuitive UI reduces the learning curve for operators of various expertise levels, enhancing overall production efficiency.

  • Seamless Integration: With its ability to connect to PLCs via Ethernet, the printer can handle real-time data printing automatically on the production line.

  • Minimal Downtime: The cartridge-based system allows for ink changes in seconds without the need for complex flushing or purging.

Cost Benefits

  • Low Maintenance: Unlike Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) systems, TIJ technology requires no filters, pumps, or scheduled maintenance, significantly reducing operational costs.

  • Minimal Consumable Waste: Precise droplet control and the absence of “makeup” solutions (required by CIJ) lead to more efficient ink usage and less waste.

  • Reduced Labeling Costs: By printing directly onto primary, secondary, or tertiary packaging, businesses can significantly reduce their reliance on expensive pre-printed labels.

  • Long-Term Reliability: The printer is designed for 24-hour uptime and is built with a durable industrial shell, contributing to a lower total cost of ownership over time.
