Timbermark Identification Systems Ltd
South Moreton, United Kingdom
Timbermark is an Oxfordshire-based company providing specialized inkjet printing equipment for the timber industry with a particular focus on sawmills, panel and pallet manufacturers. For sawmills and panel factories, Timbermark offers high resolution printing at speeds of up to 300m/minute. This allows logos, QR codes, technical and compliance information to be clearly legible on planed timber or OSB panels. There are also options for printing on sorter lines or on end stamps as well as switching systems for transverse sorting projects. For pallet manufacturers, Timbermark offers high resolution printing of ISPM15 stamps, logos and date information on either 2-way or 4-way pallets to replace marking with stencils or hot branding. A new range of printers includes a low-profile head for printing 1” high onto both sides of 2-way winged pallets. For 4-way pallets, Timbermark has developed a message switching app, which can ensure that each pallet block gets printed with different information and doesn’t go out of sync. Timbermark’s latest piezo printer features a 108mm recirculating printhead. This new model never needs priming and has a greater throw distance than previous models. The throw distance of 25mm means it is better able to handle tolerances on the production line, where some pallets are presented closer to the printhead than others. Other new products include the new Moli thermal inkjet printers, which can print at up to 1200 dpi giving a darker print. They have a new outline font feature, which gives more control over ink use and costs. Both the Moli and piezo printers can be integrated with a UV LED meaning that they will print darker onto wet timber. In addition to its fixed position printers, Timbermark offers a range of high-resolution handheld printers, printing 25mm, 50mm or 100mm high. Timbermark operates across the UK and Europe, with an HQ in Oxford, UK, and a distribution base in Belgium serving the EU market.
