D241 Intelligent Printer

To meet the intermittent coding demands of packaging lines and labeling machines, Dikai developed the D241 /D321 thermal transfer intelligent printer. Aiming at upgrading hot stamping coders, D241/D321 can achieve intelligent and clear printing on films and labels with high quality ribbons of anti-oil, anti-freezing, boiling resistance, and scratch resistance. With high quality printing features, D241 /D321 are also cost-effective, convenient for avoiding manually changing printing types.

Applications

Explore the D241 and discover how it can transform your operations.

Advanced

Upgrading the traditional hot stamping coder, without pre-heating and manually changing types.
200 dpi resolution for clear prints.
Support real-time and lot No. printing for traceability.

Environmental

Consumables are thermal transfer ribbons, non-toxic, tasteless, and no dust, suitable for application with strict environmental protection requirements.
No damage to the packaging material waste reducing.

Intelligent

Can print time, variables, text, grahics, etc.
Within the print area, character size, line number, and orientation can be edited at will.
The HMI supports hot swap; mufti-printers can be connected with one HMI.

Beneficial

Character size is adjustable within print area; min. gap between prints 0.5mm; cost saving on consumables.
Long ribbon reduces the frequency of downtime for ribbon changing.
Easy to change the printing message on HMI.
