A global paper manufacturer needed to upgrade their obsolete product identification system. The existing system was experiencing increasingly longer downtimes and the image quality was not meeting expectations. As a result, the manufacturer was incurring increased operating costs, not to mention the image quality of the system was creating readability issues across their logistics system.

The manufacturer, having worked previously with the IDT sales and service team, asked them to review the system and recommend a solution. The IDT team started with a visit to the customer’s production facility to gain an understanding of system and client requirements. During the visit, the customer indicated the system would need to print human readable characters at a height of one inch on pre-filled cases.

The recommended solution features the reliable Foxjet ProSeries AC printhead loaded with Scantrue II ink for consistent, high image quality. The ProSeries AC prints high-resolution alphanumeric characters up to 1.5 inches in height at a ½ inch throw rate.

Since the new IDT product identification solution has been installed, the customer has experienced reduced operating costs due to decreased downtime. Plus, the ProSeries AC uses less ink resulting in reduced consumable costs for the customer.
