Large Character Ink Jet Printer

A hot melt wax printer uses heated wax-based ink to print text, images and graphics on a range of surfaces. It is used in packaging, labelling and product marking for durable prints that adhere to different materials.

How it works

The printer heats the wax-based ink to a liquid state and deposits it onto the printing medium, where it cools and sets to form the print.

Substrate

The large character hot melt wax printer is commonly used on packaging materials such as coated and uncoated paper, cardboard, corrugated boxes, synthetic materials, plastics, wood and some metal surfaces for product identification and coding.
