Videojet DataFlex 6420
When production, high performance and uptime are critical, the Videojet DataFlex 6420 thermal transfer printer provides high-speed printing for flexible packaging applications. The 6420 is offered in two print widths, 53mm and 107mm, to suit your specific application needs. The 53mm format is ideal for a variety of flexible packaging applications, including ultra-fast horizontal fill and seal with a throughput of 400 cans / minute. When coding applications require a significant amount of content, such as ingredient lists and traceability information, the 107mm format offers the ideal wide format capability.

Uptime advantage and built-in productivity save you time and money:
- Patented clutchless belt motor maintains constant belt tension, virtually eliminating maintenance-related downtime.
- The maximum ribbon length of 1,200 m (3,937 ft) lengthens the ribbon change period.
- 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) print gap means more codes are printed per roll of tape.
- A range of ribbon-saving features, such as radial and interleaved printing, can increase ribbon utilization by up to double.
- Up to 400 containers / minute in high performance applications.
The simple use of the machines allows operators to focus on production and not the printer:
- Works as a standalone printer using a touch screen interface for easy use.
- The 8.4-inch CLARiTY ™ color touchscreen makes setup quick, easy and with fewer errors.
- It can also be connected to factory management systems or PLC to carry out centralized control of printing and avoid errors.
- Allows you to fully control your printers from your packaging machine interface with the printer's web browser functionality to simplify operation.
- A single DataFlex 6420 model can control and coordinate the printing of up to 4 printers using built-in master / follower functionality.
The Coding Guarantee helps avoid coding errors that can lead to high costs:
- Advanced coding software virtually eliminates code configuration errors.
- The CLARiSOFT® code design software prevents dates from being printed incorrectly, missing codes and having to repeat the job, with the cost of production that this entails.
