Domino Ax550i

Domino Ax550i: Harsh Production Environments Are No Longer a Problem

The Domino Ax550i continuous inkjet industrial printer is the perfect solution for the most extreme production environments. It features a robust 316 stainless steel cabinet with a sealed electronics section (IP66), ensuring maximum protection against dust, sugars, and chemicals, and guaranteeing the printer’s waterproofing during line sanitization cycles.

The Domino Ax550i uses approved and safe inks: as a member of EuPIA, Domino can produce and distribute inks in accordance with the stringent procedures dictated by GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) for products that meet legal obligations under various national and international directives; furthermore, all the brand’s solvent bases are free of drug precursors as required by Regulation (EC) No. 1277/2005.

Thanks to integrated technologies, this continuous inkjet industrial printer can print complex multi-line messages in high definition, operating easily even on the fastest and highest-yield lines. High-quality coding facilitates the printing of MRC codes and reduces waste when combined with OCR vision systems.

The Main Benefits

Vantaggio qualità di stampa

Easy and quick integration on all production lines: the Domino Ax550i is fully compatible with the most widely used communication protocols. It connects to the company network and links to centralized systems (ERP) to ensure the correct information is printed on every product.

Vantaggio velocità di codifica

Designed for the daily activities of the factory of the future, the Domino Ax550i sets very high standards of quality and safety. Not only because of the aforementioned IP66 stainless steel cabinet, but also because the unit requires no maintenance and minimal operator intervention, making it an optimized system that also minimizes environmental impact.

Vantaggio rispetto per l’ambiente

Like other Domino products, the Ax550i is easy and intuitive to use, featuring a flexible configuration for high-speed serialization. Thanks to i-Pulse technology, the printhead and inks for the most challenging substrates integrate optimally, and multiple print size options are available. Drops are always perfect, resulting in high-definition output of the 9-drop font at the speed of the 7-drop font. Additionally, all Domino inks comply with high industrial packaging standards.

Encoding Type

New i-Pulse inks developed by Domino
The highest coding quality and production efficiency, thanks to the high standards of our fluids.

New performance, new possibilities
Designed to handle even the most complex applications, the new i-Pulse inks keep performing flawlessly even after extreme industrial processes such as sterilisation and blast chilling, always delivering sharp, reliable codes.
