Printing the same information on your cartons, but want something simple and easy to use? Looking for an alternative to expensive ink jet systems? The HP-200 Indexing offers a quick way to print your messages and is human powered.
These coders are a great, long-lasting solution for applying date codes, lot numbers, and other product information on porous surfaces. This can be a low cost alternative to automatic coding via Ink Jet systems. Print drums accommodate RIBtype rubber printing letters, numbers, and logo dies. (Call / Email for logo info).
The indexing model starts the print impression at the same place each time by indexing the wheel the start at the same point.
The HP200 is constructed out of precision machined, anodized aluminum components for a durable & lightweight device. The print area is 2" x 9.1". The indexing model means this printer wheel will return to a set position when lifted off of the printing surface. Without an indexing mechanism, the wheel spins freely. Check out the non-indexing model if print placement doesn't matter.

Read these directions carefully before attempting to ink rolls.
Fill a container with coder ink to a level deep enough to completely submerge the roll. Carefully place the roll into the container of ink. DO NOT ROTATE THE ROLL TO COAT THE ENTIRE SURFACE. Let the roll soak until it is completely submerged. It is very important that you do not rotate the roll once you have placed it in the ink container. If the surface of the roll is completely covered, it will not allow the air to escape out of the top surfaces and therefore proper inking will not be obtained.
A dry XF Neoprene ink roll has the same characteristics as a sponge with the capacity to absorb approximately 1 - 1.5 fluid ounces of ink. Please follow the guidelines below to properly pre-ink your roll
Installing an over-saturated ink roll on your coder will result in poor print quality and possible ink leakage problems.
