Laser Marking Requirements

Can you recommend a workgroup printer / scanner / copier ( multifunction / all-in-one / aio )?

Having a devil of a time tracking down a machine for a particular spec. Here's a list of requirements, in order:

1. Networks scanning from workstations to applications, in particular OCR.
2. 2x dedicated input trays.
3. Duplex printing.
4. Budget around €500 for inkjet or €750 for laser.

The HP OfficeJet L7780 seems ideal, but it's had horrendous reviews on CNET and PC World. Dell and Brother lasers seem to miss the mark on software.

If you use a workgroup printer, please make a recommendation.

Thanks,
adam

I use a HP OfficeJet 7410 All-in-one. I love it! It's wireless/scans/faxes/prints/laser jet/both side printing/memory card reader. Highly recommend looking into it, however it is an older model.

System Requirements $98.77 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles To be used efficiently, all computer software needs certain hardware components or other software resources to be present on a computer. These prerequisites are known as (computer) system requirements and are often used as a guideline as opposed to an absolute rule. Most software defines two sets of system requirements: minimum and recommended. With increasing demand for higher processing power and resources in newer versions of software, system requirements tend to increase over time. Industry analysts suggest that this trend plays a bigger part in driving upgrades to existing computer systems than technological advancements.

NonFunctional Requirements $160.91 In the software market place, in which functionally equivalent products compete for the same customer, Non Functional Requirements (NFRs) become more important in distinguishing between the competing products. However, in practice, NFRs receive little attention relative to Functional Requirements (FRs). This is mainly because of the nature of NFRs which poses a challenge when taking the choice of treating them earlier in the software development. NFRs are subjective, relative and crosscutting. Furthermore, NFRs can often interact, in the sense that attempts to achieve one NFR can help or hinder the achievement of other NFRs at particular software functionality. Such an interaction creates an extensive network of interdependencies and tradeoffs among NFRs which is not easy to trace or estimate. This book contributes towards achieving the goal of managing the attainable scope and the changes of NFRs. It proposes and empirically evaluates a formal and quantitative approach to modeling and assessing NFRs. The applicability of this work should be especially useful to researchers in the requirements engineering field and the participators in software industry.

Laser Bonding $71.7 Laser bonding is a marking technique that uses lasers and other forms of radiant energy to bond an additive marking substance to a wide range of substrates. Invented in 1997, this patent protected technology delivers permanent marks on metals, glass and ceramic parts for a diverse range of industrial and manual applications, ranging from aerospace to the awards engraving industries. It differs from the more widely known techniques of laser engraving and laser ablation in that it is an additive process, adding material to the substrate to form the marking instead of removing it as in those techniques. For metals, parts can be permanently marked with high contrast, high resolution marks for logos, barcoding, identification and serialization purposes, without damage to the substrate. With glass and ceramics, complex surfaces can be decorated or marked and the traditional firing process replaced by a laser, with its permanent bond fired on in seconds. Laser bonding has been achieved by Nd:YAG, CO2 laser, Fiber laser and Diodepumped solidstate laser and can be made by other forms of radiant energy. Laser bonding is often referred to as CerMark, CerMarked, or CerMarking Author: Miller, Frederic P./ Vandome, Agnes F./ McBrewster, John Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 92 Publication Date: 2010/04/23 Language: English Dimensions: 9.02 x 5.98 x 0.22 inches

Methods Behind Marking a Product’s UID

In the most efficient manufacturing plants, there is much thought put into the processes behind the manufacturing. Anyone selling products to the Department of Defense is very familiar with the stringent requirements of Mil Spec 130. You’re also very aware that every product sold to the DoD, must have a permanent UID mark present, but are you applying this identification mark in the most efficient means possible?

Marking technologies have advanced far from the manual, steel stamps of our past and now boast full automation capability with inkjet, stylus, and laser markers. There are more than a hundred ways to mark a product, but only some will ensure mark permanence and durability over the long periods of time our government requires. Knowing when, where, and how to place your UID mark takes a bit of finesse and consideration.

Dot Peen Pinstamp or programmable stylus marking is a great step up from the manual setups many companies still possess. This technology is a perfect match for applications that require marking on hard plastics or metals. These systems operate by computer control executing an industrial strength stylus to indent UID information directly onto the manufactured part, or onto a metal tag that will be securely fastened to the finished product. Dot Peen or stylus stampers, are best fit into a manufacturing process where high production speeds may not be an issue.

Industrial inkjet printers have succeeded in many harsh climates throughout the building products, automotive, plastic pipe, and steel industries. Permanent inks have been developed over the years to handle long term exposure to weathering and contact chemicals; opening this marking technology up to meet Mil Spec 130 UID marking guidelines. Many inkjet printers can handle very high speed production processes and inkjet is perfect for printing on textured and delicate surfaces. Specialty inks also make this technology a worthy contender to alternate marking methods.

One of the newest technologies to emerge is laser. It’s true that laser driven equipment has been in production plants for a while. However, the use of a laser for marking is a much newer concept. Like inkjet printing, laser marking systems have the capability to merge into high speed production lines. Additionally these systems promote a greener process with fewer consumables. Since the laser beam is literally etching the UID into your product’s surface, there is no need to apply expensive ink.

Overall, you need to evaluate your process, product, and customer requirements to know the best method of UID marking. The choices may seem confusing sometimes but it helps to work with an expert in all aspects of an identification application. Turn to Jet City Laser for full service assistance with UID marking that meets Mil Spec 130 requirements.
