CM220 Thermal Inkjet Controller with CM160T Printheads
High-resolution 1-inch TIJ coding for wide print applications
The CM220 controller with CM160T printheads provides large-area thermal inkjet coding for industrial packaging. With a 50.8 mm maximum print height across two heads, it is designed for high-clarity barcodes, logos, and variable data. The system combines a 7-inch touchscreen controller, simple integration, and reliable output at production speeds up to 40 m/min.
