Designed over 30 years ago and still one of the lowest cost printers for date coding! When considering the ink cost "per print", this is an inexpensive single-line inkjet system.
The QM7500 was designed for a customer that values a quick and simple operation, and does not need highly technical coding. The easy to use icon keys allow you to adjust and edit product codes with a single touch. Customize time and date codes, expiration dates, rollover hour and more. Menu-driven programs include electronically accurate automatic date change, clock functions, and consecutive counts. The QM7500 is a great low cost solution offering high ink mileage and low maintenance requirements. Works with vertical print applications only! This product comes with everything you need to start coding the day you receive it!
Prints on porous surfaces like cartons, paper, and wood/lumber. Not for printing on non-porous surfaces.
Why complicate life?
The QM7500 uses the solvent to clear the lines after the equipment has been used with ink. When you are finished using the machine, or are done for the day, the QM7500 needs to be cleaned out. Remove the ink, attach a bottle of solvent, and purge the lines of ink. If not maintained, the ink will dry inside of the tubes. Purging the system of ink with solvent will improve the performance and longevity of the machine. New units are equipped with starter supplies of 3 bottles of ink and one bottle of solvent.
