Designed specifically to print high resolution codes on hard-to-print surfaces, the 8610 utilizes a purpose-built ink jet cartridge designed specifically to jet high performance MEK and other industrial inks. The patented cartridge offers the simplicity of thermal ink jet with print resolutions up to four times greater than continuous ink jet solutions. At linear speeds up to 102 meters/minute (333 fpm), the 8610 can print either simple text or more complex marks for a range of applications in the packaged food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries.

Uptime Advantage

• New print array with each cartridge change, ensuring peak performance
• No wear parts or maintenance consumables; no calibration procedures
• Designed and tested for 99.9% Availability*
• Rugged, industrial design made to withstand challenging production environments

Built-in productivity
