The new thermal inkjet (TIJ) solution is designed to help manufacturers prepare for the industry\u2019s transition to GS1 Digital Link and variable 2D codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As retailers and supply chains push for greater transparency and accuracy, the move to GS1 2D coding has become one of the most significant developments for packaging identification. Manufacturers now require coding systems that can deliver larger print areas, higher contrast, and higher\u2011speed performance, all while maintaining accuracy on increasingly complex production lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>Gx\u2011Series PRO Printhead&nbsp;<\/strong>has been developed around three core priorities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Waste reduction<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 supports applications such as dynamic pricing, automated expiry checks, and faster, more accurate recalls by embedding best\u2011before and batch information directly in each 2D code. Combined with\u00a0<strong>Domino Automation<\/strong>, its centralised label management and automated deployment software, manufacturers and retailers can ensure codes are correct before print, reduce product and label waste, and mitigate the significant financial, regulatory, and reputational risks of product recalls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Speed<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 delivering crisp, high\u2011contrast GS1 2D codes at industrial line speeds, supported by seamless integration with Domino\u2019s<strong>\u00a0R\u2011Series<\/strong>\u00a0smart vision system for automated inline inspection to check every code and detect issues before they impact production.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compliance<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 helping food manufacturers adhere to legislation, Domino is developing both water-based and solvent-based food packaging compliant inks. Domino is leading the way with food packaging inks manufactured in accordance with EuPIA GMP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With a 23 mm print height, high optical density, high resolution and long throw distance, the&nbsp;<strong>Gx\u2011Series PRO<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Printhead<\/strong>&nbsp;is ideal for high\u2011throughput food packaging applications, fresh and chilled products \u2013 including meat, fish, and poultry \u2013 pharmaceuticals, and direct\u2011to\u2011box printing whilst also having significant appeal for general purpose applications. When combined with&nbsp;<strong>Domino Automation<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>R\u2011Series<\/strong>&nbsp;smart vision systems, the result is a fully integrated coding, verification, and data management solution from a single supplier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James Gibbins, Global Thermal Inkjet Product Manager, Domino, commented: \u201cThe GS1 Digital Link transition is arguably one of the most significant shifts in variable data coding. With our new&nbsp;<strong>Gx\u2011Series PRO<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Printhead<\/strong>&nbsp;and our&nbsp;<strong>R\u2011Series<\/strong>&nbsp;vision system, we provide manufacturers with a simple, fully integrated solution for coding and verification \u2013 all from a single trusted supplier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>Gx\u2011Series PRO<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Printhead<\/strong>&nbsp;builds on Domino\u2019s long\u2011established expertise in TIJ printing. The result is a more flexible, optimised, and future\u2011ready coding platform that supports customers through a period of rapid technological and regulatory change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meet Domino at interpack 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Domino\u2019s experts will be available throughout&nbsp;<strong>interpack 2026 (7\u201313 May, D\u00fcsseldorf<\/strong>) at<strong>&nbsp;Stand C41, Hall 8b<\/strong>&nbsp;to discuss GS1 2D coding, explore operational challenges, and advise on readiness strategies.
