ICE Zodiac+ IP65

As something brand new, this renowned thermal-transfer printer is now available in an IP65-classified printer unit with an IP55-classified graphic user interface (GUI).

This means that the printer does not need to be dismantled or covered before wash-down, as it is protected against the ingress of water and dust. The ordinary ribbon cassette is removed from the printer before cleaning and replaced by the IP65-classified cassette, after which the printer is ready for wash-down. The 8.4″ GUI control unit is IP55-classified, and the RS232, Ethernet, digital I/O and USB connections are all IP65-classified.

The IP-rated ICE Zodiac+ can switch between continuous and intermittent printing.

The IP-rated ICE Zodiac+ comes only with a 53 mm printhead in both right-hand and left-hand models. If the printer needs to be moved later on, its direction is easy to change.
