When Matthews Intelligent Identification launched the Linx 6900 Solver in June, it was another step in the company’s “green coding” credentials.
The new continuous inkjet (CIJ) coder is highly efficient, adjusting operation according to the requirements of the code being printed, thus only using the amount of solvent required.
Matthews’ national sales and marketing manager, Phil Biggs, said, “Solvent reduction also has positive environmental impacts, so we were pleased to launch this printer in Australia.
“Developments such as this are driven economically, as much as by wider factors, including commercial pressures, social and demographic changes and environmental concerns.
“We’ve noticed a marked increase in interest in the latter just in the past couple of years. Even more recently, there have been some comments and questions regarding methanol in inks. Importantly, Linx inks have — since the company’s inception more than 20 years ago — always been methanol free.
“So our customers have always been able to benefit from an absence of methanol in Linx inks, based on Linx formulations.
“Linx’s focus on safety for the environment and for operators has always been a key driver for the business, something Matthews — an Australasian leader in coding, labelling and data capture — has always felt important. Developing and releasing the new Linx 6900 Solver printer, which uses 40% less solvent than most other CIJ printers, is just the next logical step.
“The Solver printer reduces packaging waste, reduces environmental emissions and reduces cost of ownership.”
