It is increasingly necessary when using print/apply systems to run label printing directly from the printer, rather than having to install a bulky and sometimes unreliable PC in an industrial environment.
This is now possible thanks to COMPO, a control device developed by ALTECH. This unit makes it possible to manage thermal transfer printing units directly from the packaging line. It can be used at the end of the line, interfacing naturally with one or more ALcode systems, as it allows different kinds of labels to be launched for each individual machine.
If necessary, ALTECH can supply Windows-based graphics packages for creating and managing labels, and can also develop complete systems and supply highly qualified technical service staff to solve specific labeling problems.
