Manufacturers now require coding systems that can deliver larger print areas, higher contrast, and higher\u2011speed performance, all while maintaining accuracy on increasingly complex production lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\u00a0Gx\u2011Series PRO Printhead<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>has been developed around three core priorities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Waste reduction<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 supports applications such as dynamic pricing, automated expiry checks, and faster, more accurate recalls by embedding best\u2011before and batch information directly in each 2D code. Combined with\u00a0Domino Automation, its centralised label management and automated deployment software, manufacturers and retailers can ensure codes are correct before print, reduce product and label waste, and mitigate the significant financial, regulatory, and reputational risks of product recalls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Speed<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 delivering crisp, high\u2011contrast GS1 2D codes at industrial line speeds, supported by seamless integration with Domino\u2019s<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>R\u2011Series\u00a0smart vision system for automated inline inspection to check every code and detect issues before they impact production.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compliance<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 helping food manufacturers adhere to legislation, Domino is developing both water-based and solvent-based food packaging compliant inks. Domino is leading the way with food packaging inks manufactured in accordance with EuPIA GMP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With a 23mm print height, high optical density, high resolution and long throw distance, the\u00a0Gx\u2011Series PRO\u00a0Printhead\u00a0is suitable for high\u2011throughput food packaging applications, fresh and chilled products \u2013 including meat, fish, and poultry \u2013 pharmaceuticals, and direct\u2011to\u2011box printing while also having significant appeal for general purpose applications. When combined with\u00a0Domino Automation\u00a0and\u00a0R\u2011Series\u00a0smart vision systems, the result is a fully integrated coding, verification, and data management solution from a single supplier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Domino Printing Sciences&#8216; Gx\u2011Series PRO Printhead is a thermal inkjet (TIJ) solution designed to help manufacturers prepare for the industry\u2019s transition to GS1 Digital Link and variable 2D codes.
