By using an LED-UV cold light source for curing, printing, and drying, the energy consumption is reduced by about 70% compared to mercury lamps, and there is no risk of thermal damage. Colour settings: CMYK+W/CMYK+W+OGV; Curing method: LED UV lamp (pre-curing + main curing). According to RoHS standards, the content of volatile organic compounds is low.

 

• Personalised customised printing for flexible production: This device can use variable data layout software to print variable QR codes; barcodes (such as Code128); graphic logos; custom numbers; serial numbers; dates; batch numbers; multilingual text; and database field mappings. This device can be connected to ERP/MES systems to easily achieve personalised production of small batch and multivariety orders, meeting the anti-counterfeiting and traceability needs of brand merchants for one product and one code.

 

• Strong material compatibility and durable design: suitable for media such as copperplate paper, synthetic paper PET, BOPP, PE, PP, PVC, aluminium foil, cardboard, speciality paper, etc. For materials with low surface energy, corona treatment can be chosen to improve adhesion, and UV ink can be cured to achieve wear resistance, water resistance, and chemical resistance, with a thickness of 0.1-1 mm (approximately 60-600 g/m²). This device uses industrial-grade piezoelectric nozzles with a service life of ≥ 5 years (depending on maintenance). The metal structure allows for continuous production for 7 x 24 hours and is equipped with automatic cleaning and moisturising functions. Has passed ISO9001, CE, FCC and other certifications. Work environment requirements: temperature 20-27°C, humidity 40-70% RH.

     

3、 Intelligent closed-loop function and multi format encoding capability

 

• Read and write detection and AI visual quality inspection ensure label quality: The hanging tag UV digital inkjet printer adopts a closed-loop system of "RFID encoded visual quality detection defect rejection automatic replenishment". The read-write detection process includes TID read verification (verifying the qualification of RFID chips), EPC code writing (writing EPC based on upper computer data), and EPC read back verification (comparing to ensure the correctness of writing). Real time artificial intelligence visual quality inspection, detecting the integrity of printed content, QR code/barcode level (ISO/IEC standard), and comparing the consistency of RFID chip information with surface codes. Technical parameters: RFID protocol: ultra-high frequency RFID (ISO 18000-6C, EPC Global Class1 Gen2). Read/write station: TID verification+EPC write+EPC read/write verification (multi station parallel). Quality inspection: AI vision+OCR/OCV+ISO/IEC barcode quality rating.

 

• Automatic removal of non-conforming labels and automatic encoding function: When the system detects EPC write failure, data mismatch, missing or offset printing, unreadable barcode, RFID unable to read correctly, etc., the dual station rejection system will automatically mark and reject defective products. Once taken away, the system will automatically generate a replenishment task: obtain the code content of the missing label, produce qualified labels of the same specifications, replace the initial code without stopping production, and ensure the continuity of the finished product quantity and code. The supplementary logic is based on database mapping, which does not require manual intervention and greatly reduces the scrap rate. Dismantling method: Dual station automatic dismantling. Automatic functions: automatic counting, automatic calibration (optional), electrostatic precipitator (standard).

 

• The multi format encoding printing capability covers various identification requirements: it can print one-dimensional codes (Code128/EAN-13/UPC...), two-dimensional codes (QR/data matrix/PDF 417...), anti-counterfeiting codes, variable image logos, custom numbers/text/serial numbers, and database content. Whether it is retail barcodes for clothing labels or serialized tracking codes for industrial products, printing and RFID encoding can be completed in one go, making the surface code completely consistent with the chip information.

     

4、 Summary of main application scenarios, user experience, and technical parameters

 

• Four core application scenarios drive industry upgrading: printing brand identification, size, price, and RFID code simultaneously to achieve fast inventory, self checkout, full process traceability, and store anti smuggling.
