CODITHERM

CODITERM is an electronic (Digital) thermal transfer printer for automatic and direct marking of objects made of stiff material or with uneven, porous surfaces. To-date, in all these cases, it has not been possible to print directly on the product with electronic thermal transfer print heads.

Exploiting an Eidos exclusive patent, based on the use of a double ribbon, a positive image can be created electronically on the thermal transfer ribbon in an initial print phase and then transferred “hot” (using pads or heated rollers) to the object to be marked.

CODITHERM permits extremely versatile, high quality marking of production batches with texts, bar-codes and variable logos. Marking, directly on the production line, means that the product can be personalized during packaging, thus avoiding the need for a large stock of preprinted parts.

The interactive colour graphic display simplifies the operation of locally changing data end enables the on-line control of what the machine is printing.
