Pyrotec PackMark<\/a>, March 2021 – Protect production uptime with tried-and-tested consumables<\/em>: For decades, Markem-Imaje, locally represented by Pyrotec PackMark, has developed consumable solutions for customers\u2019 evolving needs and expectations. Compared to third-party supplies or \u2018grey\u2019 consumables, genuine Markem-Imaje consumables protect production uptime by minimising maintenance and changeovers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In tough economic times, the grip on production costs tightens and manufacturers may be tempted to cut costs. However, opting for less expensive consumables for coders and thermal transfer printers won\u2019t save you money in the long run.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to Brandon Pearce, Pyrotec PackMark\u2019s general manager, tried-and-tested, specifically-designed consumables may cost a little more in the short term, but long-term savings should not be overlooked.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The negative effect of \u2018generics\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2018The harmful effect of \u201cgrey\u201d consumables will cost companies more money down the line as expensive printer parts become damaged, specifically in the case of Markem-Imaje\u2019s Thermal Transfer Ribbon consumables. Generic consumables harm the lifespan of the printer and printheads, forcing customers to replace expensive parts at costs far outweighing the savings made by using cheaper alternatives,\u2019 Brandon warns.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are distinct advantages to using the correct consumables, especially with bigger capital investment equipment such as large printers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Premature wear and tear<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At Markem-Imaje, consumables are specially developed for their intended purpose for a specific machine. An example Brandon provides are ribbons for Markem-Imaje\u2019s Thermal Transfer Printers. \u2018They have precise release layers and a back coating that matches the Markem-Imaje machine\u2019s printheads. A poor-quality back coating can cause premature printhead wear and damage, as well as machine malfunction from static build-up,\u2019 Brandon points out.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Less risk<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Markem-Imaje consumables are extensively tested using ISO standards and are put through strict inspection criteria to ensure you receive the highest quality products. \u2018Using cheaper alternatives negates the terms of the printer\u2019s warranty \u2013 when something goes wrong, and it often does, you are left with a hefty repair bill that could have been avoided,\u2019 Brandon cautions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Integrated design<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Markem-Imaje\u2019s products offer complete synergy between printers and consumables \u2013 new models are never created without considering the consumables needed to optimise their performance. \u2018This approach guarantees the long-term reliability of coders, as well as the quality and resistance of codes,\u2019 Brandon concludes.<\/p>\n
