Thermal Transfer Printer
Zodiac Hawk
The world’s first Thermal Transfer Overprinter that checks its own print.
The Zodiac Hawk Thermal Transfer Printer has been designed to help businesses in their drive to achieve improved Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) by being the first coder that can report on all three elements of OEE, with quality now included alongside performance and availability.
Equally important, the coder’s ability to provide early warning of any potential loss of code quality will help to minimise production disruption and downtime, as well as reduce the risk of customer complaints or the possibility of a product recall, with its cost implications and potential damage to brand reputation.
Ideal for flexible packaging applications, labels and glossy card applications that require content including regulatory, traceability or use by dates to be printed. The Zodiac Hawk Thermal Transfer Printer can now also print on newer flexible packaging types including resealable pouches, stick packs and sachets.
