Atlantic Zeiser has introduced an in-line camera control system to increase the capabilities of its Braillejet digital printing system. The Braille Vision is said to be a flexible, compact option that is available as a modular integration package.
Braillejet prints Braille letters with a UV curable high viscosity ink to achieve immediate fixation of the dots. One printhead prints two lines simultaneously and the print width can be increased by seamless stitching of additional heads. The result is said to be optimum readability and exceptional dot clarity.
The technical challenges of printing and personalising packaging with Braille is an important industry issue – by October 2010, all medicines sold through retailers in the EU must have Braille marking on the packaging to accommodate the needs of blind and visually challenged people.
Braillejet is claimed to offer significant advances over technologies previously reserved to produce Braille fonts for commercial or industrial applications, such as silkscreen printing and relief embossing.
Thomas Stenkamp, Atlantic Zeiser’s product manager Digital Printing and Coding Solutions, says: "It delivers the freedom and flexibility to produce small batches or do speedy job change-overs, along with the ability to easily work with variable data. It is supplied as a complete flexible system that includes the printing module and UV dryer.
“Best of all, Braille Vision offers an excellent value as well as a compact design that fits into most existing production environments. It can be easily integrated for in-line production process monitoring and is our answer to our customers' demands for 100 per cent quality control."
