Inkjet Capability

Hewlett-Packard's (Palo Alto, Calif.) thermal inkjet printer for package coding features a disposable print head that can fire 12,000 dots of ink per second from each of its 300 ink nozzles, equaling 600 x 600 dpi. HP's system is designed to apply barcodes on the line, as well as logos and dates, said Liz Philips, segment manager of HP's Specialty Printing Products.
