MODEL IDENTIFICATION
These references help identify your equipment or application. They are not a stock list. CHEEF confirms availability, product origin, condition, configuration and quotation scope before ordering. Third-party names identify the products; they do not imply manufacturer affiliation or authorized-dealer status.
Identify the existing X40 separately from an X45 equipment inquiry.
Before quotation: Match the head width, continuous or intermittent operation, mounting direction, packaging-machine interface and ribbon. Request documentation for the exact model and revision.
Review the specific TTO configuration for the packaging machine and film.
Before quotation: Confirm printhead width, motion mode and document revision. Specifications from different versions must not be combined.
BEFORE SELECTION
FREQUENTLY ASKED
The packaging motion, printer configuration, film, ribbon and mounting arrangement must work together. Share whether the machine runs intermittently or continuously, the required print area, and photos of the installation before requesting a recommendation.
TTO transfers ribbon onto supported flexible material; TIJ ejects ink from a cartridge. The packaging process and substrate determine which to evaluate.
No. Film and ribbon compatibility, print settings and packaging motion require testing.
Send the packaging machine model, film, motion type, print area, line speed, installation photos and existing ribbon reference.
