Industrial Printer Sales & Service in Southern Illinois
Manufacturers need clear and consistent product codes to support identification, traceability, and regulatory requirements. All Pro Technical Service helps manufacturers choose continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers in Southern Illinois based on their applications, production environments, and budgets. We sell, service, and support coding equipment for manufacturers throughout Southern Illinois.
Our technicians travel to where our customers are to provide installation, Preventative Maintenance, and repair services. Customers can order OEM and compatible ink, makeup fluid (solvent), and supplies, alarm beacons, and other accessories. Refurbished and rental printers are also available.
What information can industrial printers apply?
Industrial coding equipment can apply expiration dates, batch numbers, lot numbers, barcodes, serial numbers, graphics, and other variable information directly to products, packaging, and boxes.
Industrial Coding & Marking Systems in Southern Illinois
Industrial coding and marking systems apply variable information directly to products, packaging, and boxes.
This information may include:
All Pro Technical Service provides equipment from Leibinger, Linx, Squid Copilot, Luxinar (Rofin), and Xymark.
Available marking and coding options include continuous inkjet printers, thermal inkjet printers, case coding systems, and laser marking systems. Each option supports different production requirements. The appropriate option depends on the substrate, production line speed, and required print quality. Laser marking is an alternative to continuous inkjet printing and is best suited for etching information into compatible substrates, including metals, plastics, and glass. Customers can contact All Pro Technical Service for guidance based on their specific applications.
Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) Printers in Southern Illinois
Continuous inkjet printers are commonly used to apply variable information while products or packaging move through a production line.
Industrial inkjet printer technology forces ink through the printhead nozzle, forming it into a continuous stream of droplets. Selected droplets are charged and directed onto the product or packaging when the printer receives a print signal.
Leibinger continuous inkjet printers feature a sealed printhead with automatic nozzle sealing technology that eliminates daily cleaning. This technology helps keep ink within the closed system during printer shutdown periods.
All Pro Technical Service offers new Leibinger continuous inkjet printers and refurbished Linx printers for sale. Through the Refurbishing Program, All Pro Technical Service can also evaluate and refurbish a customer's existing Linx printer, depending on its model and condition. Rental printers are available for customers with temporary production requirements.
Service, Repair and Preventative Maintenance
Unplanned downtime results in lost production. All Pro Technical Service provides prompt service response and works to be a reliable, responsive partner for manufacturers. Backed by decades of technical expertise, the factory-trained technicians focus on identifying the source of a printer problem and providing an appropriate repair solution.
Preventative Maintenance is a complete service that includes inspection, cleaning, and manufacturer-recommended procedures. Flushing old or expired ink and solvent and refilling the printer with fresh ink and solvent is only one component of the complete Preventative Maintenance service.
Preventative Maintenance scheduling depends on production hours, operating conditions, equipment type, the type of ink being used, the plant environment, and manufacturer recommendations. All Pro Technical Service does not apply one fixed maintenance interval to every printer.
Customers can also send printers to the shop technicians at All Pro Technical Service for evaluation and repair of continuous printer components. Component terminology and repair recommendations are kept specific to the printer manufacturer when necessary.
Product Date Coding Applications
Date coding is a common continuous inkjet application used to print expiration dates, production dates, lot numbers, and other variable information. A date coding machine in Southern Illinois is not necessarily a separate technology; the term may refer to a continuous inkjet printer used for date-coding applications.
Any industry with traceability or regulatory requirements may use this type of equipment. Applications are found in food and beverage, automotive, wire, pipe, cable, consumer packaged goods, and many other manufacturing environments.
Contact All Pro Technical Service to discuss the product or packaging, substrate, production line speed, code requirements, and production environment. This information helps determine which continuous inkjet printer is appropriate for the application.
