On-Demand Printing Solutions for the Automotive Industry

IIMAK offers variable printing technologies to identify, label, and track automotive components in process and in the supply chain. Vehicle parts marking is vital for traceability of items such as batteries, tires, brake pads, airbags, and seat belts.

Whether you are using thermal transfer ribbons, inkjet ink or hand stamping, automotive OEM and aftermarket suppliers can choose the level of durability needed so printed images can withstand abrasion, heat, steam, and harsh chemicals. IIMAK’s transfer ribbons feature the patented Clean Start® built-in printhead cleaner, which maximizes thermal ribbon performance in Zebra, Sato, Datamax, Intermec, Printronix and other thermal transfer printers.
