HP launches anti-counterfeit cartridge for pharmaceutical industry
HP has launched a product designed to add high quality printing to tablets and capsules, in a move to stop counterfeiting.
The
HP Pharma Black CB935A Inkjet Print Cartridge is being targeted at the
pharmaceutical industry as it has been specifically made for printing
branding, dosage, and security information on individual capsules and
tablets.It comes in 20ml self-contained cartridges and can print at
speeds of up to 500 feet per minute at 150dpi.It can also produce
high-quality 600dpi imaging for precise, uniform printing of variable
data, barcodes and logos on a variety of dosage-form shapes.In
healthcare environments, the use of 1-D and 2-D barcodes on tables and
capsules can provide an additional level of product security and
customer safety when used in an overall programme of dosage monitoring
and verification.Pharma Black complements HP’s existing thermal
inkjet (TIJ) technologies for the coding and marking of pharmaceutical
packaging. These technologies are complementary to the comprehensive HP
Product Tracking and Authentication offerings for supply-chain
management.The new cartridge is one of the products being shown by HP
Speciality Printing Systems at the Interpack 2008 exhibition in
Düsseldorf.Other products on show include solutions for primary package
coding and marking on folding cartons and other substrates, and
secondary package coding and marking for the pharmaceutical
industry.Kathy Tobin, vice-president and general manager of HP
Specialty Printing Systems, said: “With more than 20 years of digital
printing to HP’s credit, our inkjet expertise enables us to break new
ground in tablet and capsule imprinting.”With this solution, HP sets a
new standard by reducing costs, meeting expanding market needs and
enabling solutions that exceed heightened security requirements.”
