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...
Here at Eurilait we have worked with PrintSafe for many years, and this year we upgraded are sleeve coder. The process from quote right through to install was smooth and easy. The new sleeve coder has enabled us to print at almost double the speed and is also creating a much more consistent print on our products. We look forward to working with PrintSafe for many more years to come.
