Hello everyone,

In today’s article, I will try to explain what Ekoprint offers to its customers regarding solvent-based and water-based HP45 technology cartridges, which are used for coding “Production Date, Expiry Date, Serial Number, Lot Number, QR Code, and Barcode” on product packaging in production lines.

Before starting the article, if you haven’t read it before, I’m leaving the link to our article about solvent-water based cartridges below, I recommend you read it. Here you go. What are solvent based and water based cartridges? Which cartridges will I code my product packaging with?

The fact that consumable costs are based on foreign currency and have increased a lot makes manufacturing companies think a lot, especially in this period. It has become very critical for companies to reach the desired quality, variety, and economic prices in consumables and to have the freedom to work with alternative suppliers. At this point, I thought it would be useful to explain the consumable solutions offered by Ekoprint. Before starting, I reviewed the cartridges on our website again and looked at how many different alternatives we can offer HP45 technology cartridges to the sectors we serve. I can easily say that we are Türkiye’s largest cartridge supplier in the field of industrial coding with over 60 cartridge options.

Hello everyone,

This week, we will focus on HP45 technology cartridges, which are frequently preferred by companies in the pharmaceutical industry for QR code applications.

Thanks to these cartridges, which are a product of modern technology, the QR codes printed on medicine boxes are produced in high resolution and readable.

It basically consists of the cartridge case, the ink inside and the electronics. HP manufactures the casing and electronic components of cartridges with this technology and supplies them to ink manufacturer partners around the world. The partners, in turn, produce various ink formulations for use in different sectors and offer them to the market under their own brands.

Pharmaceutical companies in Turkey usually import these cartridges from abroad. They also procure cartridges from the same companies from which they procure coding machines. For example, machine manufacturers and distributors such as Videojet, Wolke, Markoprint, Age Otomasyon, Inc.jet are just a few of the companies that supply both machines and cartridges

As Ekoprint, we have been providing services to pharmaceutical companies for many years to supply and offer these cartridges at the most favorable conditions. Thanks to our cooperation with HP ink partners, we provide HP45 technology cartridges in various colors and formulations for the needs of different sectors.

In addition, we also offer 100% new-zero, alternative cartridges to our customers so that pharmaceutical manufacturers can further reduce their consumables costs. As Ekoprint, we can say that we are the only brand that offers both cartridges of HP ink partners and cartridges of alternative manufacturers, providing added value to its customers.

We ensure that the cartridges are used effectively with the demo studies we carry out with pharmaceutical companies and the short trainings we offer to the operators. In addition, we take care to stand by our customers by always having products in stock and providing immediate support to our customers on technical issues.

You can reduce your costs and increase your operational efficiency with Ekoprint’s high quality and economically priced QR code cartridges.

Hello everyone,

Today, I will talk about one of Ekoprint’s best-selling egg coding machines, the EP-205 model.

First of all, let’s briefly talk about which egg producers the EP-205 egg coding machine is suitable for.

It is a high technology, high quality, European origin machine with an economical investment cost that can be used by all egg producers with daily egg production between 25.000 and 500.000 units. It works perfectly with Ekoprint’s high printing quality food ink HP45 technology cartridges and provides 100% customer satisfaction.

It is offered to customers with a 2-meter conveyor, Android tablet, connection equipment and 5 food ink cartridges.

Since EP-205 egg coding machine has Thermal Inkjet technology, they are systems that do not require parts replacement, maintenance, etc. like CIJ (Continuous Inkjet) technologies.

Since farm environments can contain a lot of dust, dirt, etc., it is still important to clean the machines regularly and use them correctly to increase the performance of the machine.

Egg producers can encode 1-1.5 million eggs with 5 cartridges if they do single line coding on eggs, for example if they only print the company numbers. When they encode more lines and use larger fonts, these numbers naturally decrease.

With the Android tablet, you can manage the machine’s program as easily and quickly as using your mobile phone, and you can make the changes you want without the need for another computer or memory card. If you want to code in different languages while exporting abroad, you can use EP-205 egg coding machine in any language You can code in (Arabic, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Georgian, etc. any language).

The improved mechanical design of the machine allows you to shift the entire printheads up and down and left and right at the same time in a single movement. This greatly helps you to increase your work efficiency in your operations and achieve high quality prints in egg coding.

With food inks in different colors, it allows you to achieve high quality prints on both white and brown eggs, ensuring the satisfaction of your customers.

Ekoprint egg coding cartridges are 100% brand new, high quality cartridges and meet your needs exactly.

Ekoprint technical team is always with our customers. They are always available and ready to help our customers with all their needs such as installation, training, remote service, etc.

If you are thinking of buying an egg coding machine suitable for your needs, you can review the machines offered by Ekoprint and contact us at any time to get all kinds of information.

QUESTION 1 ANSWER: Why should Moba sorting machine users prefer TIJ (Thermal Inkjet) over-coding machines?

Large egg producers, especially those using Moba grading machines, apply codes such as STT, ÜRT, Lot No, and Serial No to the trays after the eggs are placed in 6, 12, 15, and 30-count trays using two methods.

Let’s take a look at these two methods.

In the first method, graded eggs are placed in trays on Moba lines, and the lids are closed. Then, the trays are moved to a different area and coded there using CIJ (Continuous Inkjet) or TIJ (Thermal Inkjet) systems. This method involves multiple operations, resulting in a loss of labor, time, and energy. Additionally, if the tray coding machines are chip-based, it creates a nightmare of being forced to work with a single supplier. Purchasing consumables at a high price from a single supplier significantly increases the costs for egg producers.

In the second method, TIJ (Thermal Inkjet) systems are installed between the Moba lines. After the sorted eggs are placed in the vials, their lids are closed and while the vials are still on the lines, coding such as STT, URT, Lot No. and Serial No. is done on their lids by TIJ printers. Performing coding operations on the lines increases the efficiency of operations and reduces labor and time costs. If your coding printers are not chip printers, and Ekoprint EP-21 and EP-22M coding printers are not chip printers, you are not dependent on a single supplier. If you use chip printers, unfortunately, the obligation to a single supplier continues. The advantage of TIJ systems here is that they do not require periodic maintenance like CIJ systems. Coding machines working with HP45 technology are replaced when the cartridges run out and coding operations can continue without interruption. The machine parts do not have a certain lifetime, there are no pump-nozzle etc. parts that need to be replaced. Systems with minimal need for technical service. In fact, most of the time, software problems that can be experienced with remote intervention can be solved quickly and there are no technical service costs.

Therefore, in short, if you install chip-free, TIJ systems on your Moba sorting machine lines, you will have made an economically viable investment, your technical service costs will almost disappear, you will be freed from the nightmare of being dependent on a single supplier for consumables. Your labor and time costs will decrease, and your operational efficiency will increase.

In this regard, I am sharing our information articles about the projects we have done with Abalıoğlu and Keskinoğlu companies as Ekoprint below. I hope it will be useful for you.
