Product Summary
The alphaJET 5 SP from Koenig and Bauer Coding is designed for applications where the print needs to be extra-small yet pin sharp. It can be used for applications as diverse as printing on optical fibre, cosmetics packaging, electronic components, or wire harnesses. With its compact footprint and choice of connectivity options, it is easy to integrate into production lines and networks.
The ‘Smart Start’ nozzle closure, nozzle flushing, and print head heating mean that even if your printer is in stand-by mode for a longer amount of time, intermediate startup or intensive cleaning are no longer necessary.

What Our Customers Say...
Very early on we had a few questions on using the machine, but a quick phone call to PrintSafe and a conversation with one of the engineers would answer any queries we had. We get the machine serviced at the end of June each year so that we know that everything is running optimally ready for peak. If we need any supplies, we contact the aftersales team and they get things out to us straight away.
