Videojet 6220 Thermal Transfer Overprinter

The Videojet 6220 is a cost-effective thermal transfer overprinter (TTO) designed to help manufacturers transition from analog methods like hot stamp coders to high-quality digital printing on flexible packaging. It provides an affordable entry point for achieving clear, consistent codes without the complexity and downtime associated with older technologies.

Performance & Specifications

The 6220 is engineered for intermittent motion packaging lines, delivering sharp 300 dpi prints on a wide variety of flexible films and labels. Its key specifications include:

• Printhead: 32 mm width with 300 dpi resolution

• Print Speed: 50 mm/s to 400 mm/s

• Ribbon Capacity: 400 meters

• Printing Modes: Intermittent only

Built for Uptime and Affordability

The 6220 utilizes Videojet's proven clutchless ribbon drive, which maintains consistent tension to virtually eliminate ribbon breaks and related downtime. Compared to hot stamp coders, it can reduce ribbon-change downtime by up to 75%. Its bi-directional ribbon drive also recaptures unused ribbon, maximizing prints per roll and delivering a significantly lower cost of ownership.

Simple Operation & Real-Time Coding

Operation is streamlined through a 5.7-inch color touchscreen with WYSIWYG print preview, reducing setup errors. The system's internal clock enables automatic printing of variable data, including best-by dates, batch/lot codes, shift codes, and production line IDs, directly on the packaging line.
