Markem-Imaje 5800 High-Resolution Inkjet Printer

High-Contrast Text, Logos and Barcodes

The Markem-Imaje 5000 high-resolution inkjet coders utilize Touch Dry hot melt inks which are solvent-free, safe to handle and environmentally friendly.

Codes never bleed or fade, dry on contact and are 100% readable. Intelli'Wax printheads combined with our exclusive Intelli'Dark Touch Dry ink produce the darkest, consistently scannable, direct print codes in the industry.

Benefits

Less Downtime
The 5000 Series with Intelli'Wax printheads improves productivity by enabling operators to replenish ink without stopping the production line.

Designed for Efficiency
Uncomplicated menu structure combined with easy to navigate touch screen user interface results in faster job changes and effortless operation.

Less Operator Intervention
Solventless, ink and autopurge technology reduce operator maintenance.

Enhanced Performance

GS1-128 Codes
Highest optical density ink prints images on corrugate with Intelli'Dark for high-contrast barcodes to achieve C-grade GS1-128 barcodes.

Touch Dry Hot Melt Inks
Print on a wide range of substrates and in environments ranging from 0 to 40°C., a much wider range of inks than competitive printers.

High-Quality Codes Faster
Large drop volume at high frequency provides reliable printing at speeds up to 121 meters/minute (barcodes).

Increased Flexibility

Easier Line Integration
Multiple jetting orientations; single side, opposite side, side (up to 30° tilt angle for inclined conveyors), and top printing and smaller overall footprint.

Equipped for Your Application
Product configuration options include scanners, cameras, encoders, printhead slide assemblies, and stands.

Connect to Your ERP
With CoLOS software the 5800 can be integrated with production lines, databases, and ERP systems to automatically populate image designs.
