Ultra-fast, Standalone Print Controller for 4 Printheads
The Markoprint X4JET plus Touch is a 5.7″ high-resolution TFT color touchscreen display and controller. This unit controls a wide array of printheads and head configurations that can adapt to almost any application.
The X4JET is used to communicate to a printhead that does not have its own intelligence as well as visualize print jobs and statuses of certain Markoprint printheads that do not have a built-in display. The animated graphics provide user friendly control. Four different print technologies are supported, HP, LX, MX, and XR. Mix print technologies. Run up to 4 separate supported print technologies simultaneously with the X4JET.
The X4JET can operate up to 4 printheads simultaneously, giving you the options to print on two different sides of a package, two different production lines, as well as the ability to stack printheads to get a larger print height. Height varies based on the print technology.
The touch screen as well as full keyboard enables you to create print messages directly from the X4JET Controller. At a glance you can see whether the printing system is active as well as check the print speed & cartridge ink levels. You can also start & stop, delay, change intensity, set passwords, and adjust encoder signals right from the X4JET.
The touch screen responds to thin work gloves, bare hands and stylus pens.
Seamlessly Integrate With Systems Such As:
Vertical and horizontal band sealers, thermo-forming, conveyor belts, bottling and filling lines, labeling equipment, stretch wrap machines, shrink wrap machines, side & bottom seal, sachet machines, flexible pouch, form, fill, & seal equipment, as well as almost any material handling options on the market today.
Coding needs may vary based on application, customer, substrate, & regulations but consistency and quality are paramount across the board when looking for a marking and coding system and team to trust.
As configurations and accessories vary depending on environment, application, and/or customer specifications, our sales team will work with you to ensure you’re purchasing the best solution for your project(s).
