The P760 prints carton code data after the denester while the carton is still open.  Regardless of whether the carton is closed or not, the cartons are correctly printed and no ink is printed on the eggs, eliminating rework.

The P760 printer and interface software moves egg carton coding from contact coding into the world of digital printing. Best-before dates and production dates are easily created and automatically updated by the printer, even following an overnight shut down. Once a message has been downloaded the printer can operate by itself in offline mode. Combined with Independent Ink Inc. specifically designed network software and inks, cartridge shelf life and print life are greatly extended.

INNOVATION

The P760 gives the user a system capable of quickly adjusting to various printing environments and substrates. P760 cartridges offer greater flexibility in pre-selecting print settings, permitting the user greater control over print quality and cost. The software allows the user to select from a database of jobs and change on the fly, see real time print data and counts for each individual printer and make fine adjustments to the print environment settings in order to ensure the highest print quality while also managing the cost per print.

SOFTWARE

The MS Windows-based software provided with the system is extremely versatile; it can be configured to print a variety of data including Sell By Date, Manufacturing Date, Plant Number, Flock Code, Time and Text of various sizes and fonts. The user friendly interface and software enables the user to design and print different types of information and to control the print image while having a real time picture of the production environment for up to 20 printers.

NETWORKING

Multiple, up to 20 P760 printers can be connected over Ethernet to a single message control PC. The Production Mode software allows message download to each print head and displays the current message being printed, days offset and print count. The software uploads jobs from a job database and can download production data on a daily basis for analysis.
