32 mm Thermal Transfer Overprinter
Compact TTO for dates and batch codes on narrow webs.
Built around your product
The TT-32 fits small sachet, stick-pack and label applications. It prints crisp best-before dates and lot numbers and switches between intermittent and continuous motion in software.
A thermal printhead with a row of tiny heating elements presses a ribbon against the film. Heated dots melt the ribbon’s ink layer onto the substrate. In intermittent mode the head travels across stationary film; in continuous mode the film moves and the head stays put. Clutchless ribbon drives keep tension constant and squeeze prints together to save ribbon.
Key features
- Intermittent and continuous in one unit
- Clutchless bidirectional ribbon drive
- Quick-change ribbon cassette
- 5-inch touchscreen controller
Process sequence
Mount
The printer sits in a bracket on the bagger, above the film web.
Sync
A print signal or encoder from the host machine times each print.
Transfer
The printhead melts ribbon ink onto the film at 300 dpi.
Advance
The ribbon drive indexes by the print length, minus the configured saving.
Seal
Printed film continues to the forming and sealing stations.
