UBS Aplink MRX UV LED

Modular high-resolution inkjet printer for printing onto non-porous surfaces including plastics and metals. Up to four 72mm printheads can be driven from one MRX controller. Innovative temperature and drop volume control technology ensures low ink consumption and reliable and consistent printing in harsh environments

Text, detailed graphics, barcodes and 2D codes can be printed at 180dpi vertical resolution x up to 720dpi horizontal resolution using polymer-based UV-curing ink that dries instantly using the latest UV LED technology. The high-capacity 1-litre ink bottle can be changed on the fly without interrupting production.

Using the Aplink MRX UV LED as an alternative to applying labels offers significant cost savings and environmental benefits. Typically a single one-litre bottle of UBS ink replaces 350Kg of labels and costs 4-5 times less than the equivalent labels and printing ribbons. The environmental benefits include significant haulage carbon savings by shipping just 1Kg of ink for each 350Kg of labels and avoiding the need to dispose of 145Kg of backing paper waste for each litre of ink used which is virtually impossible to have recycled.

UBS Aplink systems come with UBS Designer PC-based software to design and upload virtually unlimited numbers of print images into the printer memory. Printers can then run in stand-alone mode without a PC connected using the touch screen controller to select the required print image and enter variable data such as batch code and expiry date. It is also possible to connect to host systems to automatically select print images and populate variable data fields without operator intervention. Martek offers integration services to connect printers to a wide range of host systems.
