The new generation of GK print heads print alphanumeric text, bar codes, 2D codes, and graphics such as company logos or product images in high resolution on porous materials. Direct printing on packaging and product surfaces with a horizontal resolution of up to 1200 dpi is a cost-effective and flexible alternative to labels or pre-printed cardboard.
