Offset printers are a simple way of printing a continuous, repeating message on moving products like pipe and tube, metal conduit, and extruded plastics. Standard units print at speeds up to 700 feet/minute (210 meters/minute), and the optional high-speed inking system increases print speed to 1500 ft/min (450 m/min). Character sizes range from 1/16″ to 1″ high (16 to 25 mm).
- Flexographic inking system ensures consistent print quality
- Stainless steel ink reservoir comes with replaceable liners for easy ink clean-up and color changes
- Print high quality messages including text and graphics with Pannier offset printing dies
Offset printers print on tubular profiles by transferring the message to be printed onto a rubber print wheel that conforms to the diameter of the product being marked. The printers operate by using the friction between the print wheel and the product being marked as it passes through the printer.
Two standard models are available to meet most printing requirements. Both models can be mounted for top, bottom, horizontal or vertical printing.
Model 8498
Prints messages up to 24″ long. Recommended for most applications.
Model 9328
Prints messages up to 12″ long. Ideal for printing slow-moving or warm extrusions.
Multi-Strand Printers
Printers can be designed and manufactured for marking multiple sections of pipe or conduit at a time on high-speed production lines.
