Printing and Marking

For product identification and to determine assembly positioning, profiles, tubes and other products often have to be printed with text or marked. Due to these varying requirements, Metzner offer four different printing systems from leading manufacturers, which can be combined with all Metzner machines.   

Ink Jet Printer

Ink-Jet printers can produce freely programmable text, logos and markings on the running product without any lost time. Ink-Jet printing is a comparatively economical process, but the print quality is not as high as with laser or thermal transfer printing. More information >

Thermal Transfer Printer

Digitally programmable thermal transfer printers combine first-class print quality and individual text printing. The printer transfers variable texts, logos or graphics as well as barcodes in 300 dpi print quality. More information >

Laser Printer

With laser printers, freely programmable text, logos and markings can be transferred onto the tube with no loss of time. The print quality is excellent, but the price is higher than with ink-jet printers.

Hot Stamp Markers

Material marking in first class print quality using a stamp and marking foil; for automatic repeat printing. More information >
