Thermal Transfer Overprinting (TTO): Markem Vs. Videojet

In the past, when come to TTO application, Markem SmartDate series will probably the only favorable option to the users.

Since Videojet launches the Dataflex TTO in some years ago, Markem is no longer the only solution provider in thermal transfer overprinting technology, the coding and marking giant Videojet is aggressively eyeing on the TTO market share.

The competition between Markem and Videojet has heated up to another level while the basic thermal transfer printers were introduced to the market.

1. Markem S18
2. Videojet 6210

The price of the basic TTO is so competitive now, and small medium scale manufacturer could afford a TTO on the form-fill-seal (FFS) machine at a continuous ink jet (CIJ) price or even cheaper. It is time to go for TTO printer for your form-fill-seal packages; it is affordable, less maintenance and clean.
