Videojet BX6500 / BX6600 Commercial Grade Addressing Printer
Throughput is the name of the game. The more jobs you can print and the faster you get them done, the more money you can make. Videojet BX6500/6600 Series printers are designed to let you print an unlimited variety of jobs, quickly and reliably. The BX Series printers offer 2-inch (51 mm) print bands, and the dual-head con guration operates off a single print engine to provide the ability to print four continuous inches (102 mm). Or, separate the heads to print on different areas of the target piece, i.e., an address and indicia.
