Domino Ax550i
Key benefits
Easy and quick integration on all production lines: the Domino Ax550i is fully compatible with the most widely used communication protocols. It connects to the company network and links to centralized systems (ERP) to ensure the correct information is printed on every product.
Designed for the daily activities of the factory of the future, the Domino Ax550i sets very high standards of quality and safety. Not only because of the aforementioned IP66 stainless steel cabinet, but also because the unit requires no maintenance and minimal operator intervention, making it an optimized system that also minimizes environmental impact.
Like other Domino products, the Ax550i is easy and intuitive to use, featuring a flexible configuration for high-speed serialization. Thanks to i-Pulse technology, the printhead and inks for the most challenging substrates integrate optimally, and multiple print size options are available. Drops are always perfect, resulting in high-definition output of the 9-drop font at the speed of the 7-drop font. Additionally, all Domino inks comply with high industrial packaging standards.

FAQ
Which materials can industrial inkjet coders print on?
Industrial inkjet coders can code and mark a wide range of materials, including cardboard, plastic, glass, PET, metal, flexible films and secondary packaging. Thanks to the different technologies available (CIJ, TIJ, high and low resolution), they suit a great many industrial sectors.
What information can be printed with an inkjet coder?
Industrial inkjet systems can print batch codes, expiry dates, 1D and 2D barcodes, QR codes, datamatrix codes, logos, variable text and product traceability information. Some models also support data serialisation and high-definition coding.
Are inkjet coders suitable for high-speed production lines?
Yes. Industrial inkjet coders are designed to work even on very fast production lines, delivering sharp, accurate and continuous printing with no direct contact with the product. Some models are developed specifically for complex, high-output production environments.
What advantages do industrial inkjet coders offer over other coding systems?
Inkjet coders offer great application flexibility, high print quality, operating speed and easy integration into production lines. They also cut machine downtime, require little maintenance and deliver reliable coding even in demanding industrial environments.
