I have a ticket numbering machine which uses good quality hand numbering machies. These have become worn and unreliable and I intend re-building the machine with something more up to date and reialble.

The packing Industry and others now seems to use remote inkjet printing and it occurs to me that this may be a solution.

Problem is I cant seem to find much info on them apart from silly pricing and I wondered if any members of the forum had experience of these? Its 4 or 5 digits with a height of around 3.8mm I'm looking for . Thanks Peter

Many thanks for the explanations and information–lots more to it to than what I imagined!

I see some Linx 4900 machenes on ebay but but the idea rightly looks too complicated for what I need also look tricky to set up and use?

I may use some rotary style numbering heads when I rebuild the machine. The existing machine numbered in excess of 700,000 tickets last year so the Reiner crash numbering heads have performed well.

Thanks Peter
