Linerless print and apply systems HERMES QL
HERMES QL for Linerless and InNo-Liner

vergrößern

Various linerless materials can be processed with a base unit, print rollers and applicators be selected according to an application.

Disposal of liner materials and associated costs are eliminated.

Approximately 40 percent more labels fit onto a roll, which in turn is easier in transport. System downtimes are reduced due to fewer roll changeovers.

By activating a saving feature, material is cut automatically subsequent to a final print line and an offset.

Full compatibility: Features, dimensions and installation correspond to the tried and tested HERMES Q systems.

A large extent of applicators and assembly assistances can be used in original, HERMES Q standard and QL linerless printers be switched back and forth easily.

Cycle rates correspond to HERMES Q applicators, added by about 50 milliseconds delay time for cutting the linerless labels.
