The CODITHERM 4 is an electronic (Digital) "thermal transfer" printer for automatic and direct marking of objects made of stiff material or with uneven, porous surfaces. To-date, in all these cases, it has not been possible to print directly on the product with electronic "thermal transfer" print heads. Exploiting an Eidos exclusive patent, based on the use of a double ribbon, a positive image can be created electronically on the thermal transfer ribbon in an initial print phase and then transferred "hot" (using pads or heated rollers) to the object to be marked. CODITHERM permits extremely versatile, high quality marking of production batches with texts, bar-codes and variable logos. Marking, directly on the production line, means that the product can be personalized during packaging, thus avoiding the need for a large stock of preprinted parts. The interactive colour graphic display simplifies the operation of locally changing data end enables the on-line control of what the machine is printing.

The unit is used for hand feeding, operated by a foot switch thereby leaving both hands free for positioning the product and stacking. It has a side stop and an adjustable rear stop for placing and positioning firm objects to obtain good register. Flexible objects are usually positioned to a marked datum on the placement bed. For small objects, jigs and fixtures can made to position under the print head. The illustration shows the Series 3A printer (50mm x 50mm print area)in situ but the bench model does accept all the Preston range. The printers are designed to produce maximum obtainable speeds.

The SWING 2.cx is of the "fixed head" type for printing on moving film. It is fitted on continuous packaging machines downstream of the film payoff and prints synchronously with the speed of the packaging machine. The film is passed around the print roll (complete with "encoder" device). Installation of the SWING 2.cx is facilitated to a major extent by a standard portal support designed by Eidos which makes it possible to assemble the print unit in such a way as to permit precise, trouble-free adjustment of the thermal head in relation to the print roll.
