Most problems with thermal transfer overprinting get blamed on the printer. In practice, a good proportion of them are substrate problems that only show up once the material changes. A thermal transfer overprinter (TTO) that runs cleanly on a paper-faced label can behave very differently on a metalised film. Ribbon adhesion changes. Print contrast drops.…
Most coding equipment doesn’t fail dramatically. It degrades quietly. The machine still runs, still prints, still gets through the shift, so it stays on the line, year after year. But “still running” and “running well” are two very different things, and the gap between them has a cost that rarely shows up on a single…
Rather than only explaining how the 5940 G printer and Touch Dry® inks can help businesses get ready for GS1 Sunrise 2027, we chose to demonstrate it ourselves—directly on our own packaging. Why we started: Sunrise 2027 is coming By January 2027, retail will begin moving away from traditional 1D barcodes and toward GS1 Digital…
Barcodes have quietly revolutionized packaging for over 50 years. Now, 2D barcodes are set to take their place, offering detailed product info like origin and recyclability. If you’re using a thermal transfer barcode printer, you’re ready for this upgrade. Ensure seamless transitions with proper maintenance and see how 2D barcodes can enhance both compliance and consumer value.
