...Or Print It
Several companies coming up with the Inkjet printers technology at IPS.
Many foods today are packed or sealed in a protective, oxygen-free atmosphere. Oxygen-sensitive indicators attached inside the package can be used to signal whether the package has been damaged or opened. With inkjet printing, the indicator can be attached directly to the packaging material during packaging. This enables the manufacturing an individual, product-specific indicator on the packaging line without the disadvantages associated with handling and storing pre-made oxygen indicators that must be kept in an anaerobic state.
Inkjet printers operate by propelling variably-sized droplets of liquid or molten material (ink) onto almost any medium. They are the most common type of computer printer for the general consumer due to their low cost, high quality of output, capability of printing in vivid color, and ease of use. At the India Packaging Show, companies like Markem Imaje, Domino Printech, Forbes, Control Print, Videojet Technologies, Packomark, LMI India, Jet Inks, Beijing Saturn, N S Packaging, Hitachi Asia and Condot Systems are displaying this technology.
