Domino Ax550i Continuous Inkjet Industrial Printer
Domino Ax550i: Tough Production Conditions Are No Challenge Anymore
The Domino Ax550i continuous inkjet industrial printer is ideal for operating in the harshest production settings. Its sturdy 316 stainless steel enclosure with a sealed electronics compartment (IP66) provides full protection against dust, sugar particles, and chemicals, ensuring waterproof performance even during line washdown procedures.
The Domino Ax550i uses inks that are certified and safe: as a EuPIA member, Domino manufactures and supplies inks following the strict standards set by GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) to comply with legal requirements under various national and international regulations; additionally, all its solvent bases are free from drug precursors, as stipulated by Regulation (EC) No. 1277/2005.
Equipped with advanced technologies, this continuous inkjet industrial printer can produce detailed multi-line prints in high resolution, functioning seamlessly even on the fastest and most productive lines. Its superior coding performance enables MRC code printing and minimises waste when paired with OCR vision systems.
Why Opt for the Domino Ax550i Continuous Inkjet Industrial Printer
Fast and straightforward integration across any production line: the Domino Ax550i is fully compatible with leading communication protocols. It connects seamlessly to company networks and integrates with centralised systems (ERP) to guarantee accurate information on every product.
Designed to handle the everyday requirements of future manufacturing, the Domino Ax550i ensures outstanding levels of quality and safety. This is due not only to its IP66-grade stainless steel casing, but also to its no-maintenance construction and very low operator intervention needs, creating an efficient system that also lowers environmental footprint.
Just like other Domino products, the Ax550i is easy and intuitive to use, allowing for flexible configuration during high-speed serialisation operations. Thanks to its i-Pulse technology, the printhead and inks integrate flawlessly even on the most challenging surfaces, offering a variety of print size options. Each drop is delivered with precision, enabling clear printing of the 9-drop font at the same speed as the 7-drop font. Additionally, all Domino inks comply with stringent industrial packaging standards.
