DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., March 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ – Markem-Imaje, part of Dover (NYSE: DOV) and a global provider of end-to-end supply chain solutions and industrial marking and coding systems, today announced the introduction of an Ethernet protocol and image creation capability to provide greater connectivity to its 4700 Valvejet Drop-on-Demand Printer.

The 4700 is a low-maintenance printer that achieves accurate coding on surfaces including cardboard, plastic, glass, metal, PVC and wood. The new capability now allows for up to 20 variable updates per print, offering customization and flexibility, even in the most challenging manufacturing environments.

The 4700 has also been upgraded with image creation and printer management capabilities, which are achievable via a new driver with Markem-Imaje's CoLOS® suite. The CoLOS suite helps optimize production to maximize uptime and ensures that packaging and coding solutions are accurate and traceable while also streamlining all printing needs from one supplier.

"Our mission at Markem-Imaje is to listen to our customers and innovate to help them address the complex challenges of today's operating environment – and these new capabilities do just that," said Greg Kasprzak, Marketing Team Leader, Markem-Imaje. "The 4700 has been a high-performing staple in our drop-on-demand portfolio, and these upgrades offer more flexibility and introduce, for the first time, image creation and printer management capability."

These latest innovations further enhance the 4700's support of efficient production lines, printing robust coding which remains readable, even in the most extreme conditions. Together with its large character Valvejet, the 4700 provides the foundations for optimal logistics and distribution. The 4700 delivers best-in-class safety compliance, meeting the international safety standard IEC 62368-1.
