Multiple-Head Dotmark example
Installing multiple DOTMARK systems
The DOTMARK coloured dot spraying systems can be custom- installed into testing fixtures or assembly machines where multiple coloured dots are required to differentiate between produced parts.
In these cases, it is possible to either custom-make the mounting hardware for more convenient access, or supply the Dotmark systems at a reduced cost for the machine builder to engineer their own mounting system - usually a very simple and straightforward affair.
When final dimensions are not exactly known, ink and, air tubing can be supplied by the metre, with loose connectors to be fitted as required by on-site engineers.
One controller is required per individual printhead.
Below is an example of a possible combiation of machines, containers and controllers.

Printing Glass Bases
Trend's Hot QuickCoder was successful in providing a solution to print on the base of glass jars with a use-by date.
The application is manual - an operator loading the jars into a basic jig - with the HQC unit printing from underneath on the slightly domed base with a white colour.

Egg carton printing
Trend have installed multiple Evolution inkjet printers to replace old labelling machines.
Evolution inkjets were chosen because of their low purchase cost (14 printing heads were required) and low operating cost (high-volume but low-cost products) as well as simplicity of installation and excellent reliability.
