Encoder Strip

Encoder Strip

The Encoder Strip is a transparent or semi-transparent strip with precisely printed markings used in large-format printers to guide the printhead movement. It works in combination with the encoder sensor to provide accurate positional feedback, ensuring smooth and precise printing without misalignment or banding.

Built with high-quality materials, the encoder strip is resistant to wear and environmental conditions. It is an essential component for maintaining print quality in solvent, eco-solvent, and UV printers, as well as other industrial machines.

Key Features

  • High-precision printed markings for accurate positioning.
  • Compatible with solvent, eco-solvent, and UV printers.
  • Durable and scratch-resistant material.
  • Ensures smooth printhead movement and alignment.
  • Easy to install and replace.

Technical Specifications

  • Material: High-grade polyester or PET film.
  • Width: Typically 10mm to 15mm (custom options available).
  • Length: Varies according to printer model (1m – 3m).
  • Print Type: Precision-etched or laser-printed lines.
  • Compatibility: Solvent, eco-solvent, UV printers, and plotters.

Applications

  • Guides the printhead movement in wide-format printers.
  • Prevents image distortion and misalignment during printing.
  • Used in plotters, CNC machines, and other automated systems.

Why Choose Encoder Strip?

The Encoder Strip is vital for achieving high-precision printing. Its accurate markings and durable build ensure smooth printhead motion, improved print quality, and reduced chances of errors during operation.
