Hot Quick-Coders Manual offline coding
HQC worktable for manually coding products
The HQC units can just as easily be used for printing offline as online. Simply by adding a footswitch to the unit you are able to use the HQC as a manual coder. An operator simply has to load a part - press the footswitch and then unload the part
Printing from the top-down is easy - but one outstanding alternative is to mount the machine underneath a table - enabling a free work area.
Simple manual worktable for offline printing
Using the standard bracketry, the HQC unit is mounted under the worktable in order for the typeholder to extend just past the tabletop. This means the bases of products can be easily marked - but also means that no height adjustment is required when printing different product sizes.

The new 4700 ink has been released for the EVOLUTION-1 inkjet systems, featuring a dry-time of 1-3 seconds on materials such as metal and plastic.

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.
