Eidos Coditherm I-ROLLER

In over 40 years of business, Eidos has developed and patented the procedure for direct thermal transfer printing on solid objects. This solution is ideally suited to printing variable data, directly and in real time, onto industrial products. Thanks to the Coditherm range the precision, reliability, cleanliness and excellent versatility of this technology have also become available for marking the widest range of materials and shapes, in addition to small lots. The I-ROLLER projects the Coditherm range towards total excellence. What is new is the use of high power infrared rays to heat the transfer roller.

This solution guarantees:

• larger diameter roller, with increased thermal capacity, which is sturdier and longer lasting;
• faster transfer speed, no energy loss;
• roller is heated with no direct contact points, a benefit for cleaning all other parts of the machine;
• fast and convenient hot roller replacement;
• low maintenance.

Thanks to its interchangeable rollers, I-ROLLER offers high-quality printing on a range of materials and surfaces:

• slightly irregular surfaces;
• flat surfaces which require high pressure;
• flexible or hot-melt materials.

The features of the rollers also make the I-ROLLER the ideal device for printing on flat or slightly curved surfaces.

The potential uses are endless:

• plastic containers (e.g. urban or hospital refuse recycling food trays, plastic pallets);
• electromechanical and electronic components (e.g. plate data printing);
• medical components (e.g. to identify disposable products);
• multiple plastic tags (e.g. security seals).

Print quality starts with the ribbon

I-ROLLER uses ribbons similar to "foil for hot printing", but designed specifically for the Eidos thermal transfer technology. The catalogue offers a vast choice of types and colours, suited to the different printing needs:

• objects made of plastic, cardboard, wood, painted metal;
• glossy or "matt" surfaces;
• different levels of print "durability".
