An ALE self contained printer- Z series includes controller, ink-system and print-head in only one assembly. It is extremely compact, fits into a briefcase, and can easily be transported "in ink".

It's designed to print onto porous/non-porous surfaces using oil/solvent based inks; it has the same low maintenance requirements as any other ALE systems. It is ready to print 20 seconds only after switch on.

The all in one printer offers 3 ranges of print engines: 18mm, 34mm and 72mm, which can communicate via photocell, shaft encoder, RS232, PS2 PC keyboard connector for easy data input as standard, etc.

It's also "Code load-able", like all other ALE controllers. Its user's interface is simple, easy and fast: three minutes only to program a standard message and set printer up.

The all in one printer provides the print quality of HI-Res systems to "consumer unit packages". It prints fixed or variable texts in all the languages, images, logos, time and date, counters, standard and 2D barcodes with an unrivalled resolution on cartons, plaster-boards, wood, etc…

This entry level high resolution printer is a "one model suits all applications" type, and uses exclusively our specially formulated ALE fluids.

ALE's skills are focused on improving the high resolution Piezo ink-jet technology thereby offering the industry the most efficient and up-to-date systems: hardware, software, accessories, fluids and services for marking, printing and traceability.

ALE hardware: Z-series printers, J series and K series controllers + ET/TZ series Print-heads are designed to be:

• Modular and compact /Small dimensions                                                
  
• Easy to use, rapid to install and low maintenance.                                                                        
  
• Able to print on most of the substrates, either porous or non porous with print heights of 1 to 288 millimetres.
  
• Polyvalent and multi-heads(1,2,3...16) configuration
  
• Performing in most environments; Etc.
  

Moreover, our software: CodeX, PADDI, EntriX, VerifiX and RIX; Etc. simplify operations at each level of production process:

• Design: easily variable real-time layouts(graphics, logos, 2D barcodes and texts, etc.) and parameter the print either from a PC, a keypad or directly from an ALE controller along the production line
  
• Print: with various devices (ALE printers, CIJ, laser, labellers, thermal transfer...) in a automate network.
  
• Trace: your products with data fields (Database, Data-link, RFID and Data control)
  

The new Applications Platform for
traceability and integration!

RIX (Remote Information eXchange) is a software revolution for all the applications. 

1. Network of Printers:  RiX® enables network communication between a host PC, a database and a selection of printers,

• Selecting/entering data from PC, printer, PLC, hand-scanner, database... RiX detects the changes and sends to OTHER printers.
  
• The Statistics & Reports are available for telling all the information of the network, such as "Which" printer, "What" did it print, "When" did it print it, etc.

2. Traceability:  RIX can trace the products at all the steps of production lines, 

• Data-link: Enter data in one text field and auto LINK other fields.
  
• Database: Use Reference value to get text & batch data from user database.
  
• Data Control: Verify barcodes & RFID tags with the VerifiX option.

3. Multi-marque, Multi-technology:   RIX can control up to 16 different stations, such as 

• Primary Product Coders ( CIJ, laser, TTF)
  
• Print & Apply Labellers
  
• Integrated Label & RFID
