Industrial Inkjet Marking Solutions for Reliable, Cost-Effective, and Export-Ready Printing
The plywood industry operates in a demanding environment where durability, traceability, and cost-efficiency are non-negotiable. Whether it’s for domestic use or large-scale exports, manufacturers must ensure that every sheet of plywood carries clear, consistent, and compliant markings. But coding on plywood isn’t as straightforward as it may seem. The porous and textured nature of the material presents unique printing challenges. That’s where MapleJet’s Hx Megalo steps in—an industrial inkjet printer purpose-built for high-performance marking on secondary packaging and industrial materials like plywood.
The Challenges: Printing on Porous, Uneven Surfaces
Plywood is naturally coarse and highly absorbent, making it difficult for many traditional inkjet printers to deliver sharp and long-lasting marks. Inconsistent ink spread, smudging, or fading are common issues that can lead to:
- Unreadable product codes
- Non-compliance with export regulations
- Rejected shipments
- Added rework costs
These problems aren’t just operational headaches—they directly affect a company’s bottom line and reputation.
Hx Megalo: Engineered for Large Character, Industrial-Grade Printing
The Hx Megalo is designed specifically to handle large character printing on challenging materials like plywood. It prints up to 70mm print height in a single pass, making it ideal for high-visibility branding, compliance codes, logos, or handling symbols.
With oil-based ink formulated for porous materials, the Hx Megalo delivers quick-drying, high-contrast marks that resist smudging and fading—ensuring your codes remain intact throughout the supply chain.
Built-In Dust Management: Internal Gutter System
Plywood production environments are heavily prone to airborne dust, which can accumulate on the printer’s printhead and disrupt consistent marking. To address this, the Hx Megalo is equipped with an internal gutter system designed to capture dust and debris before they reach critical areas of the printer.
This smart dust management feature helps:
- Protect the printhead from clogging
- Maintain consistent print quality
- Extend maintenance intervals
- Minimize downtime and production disruptions
By keeping the print environment around the printhead cleaner, the Hx Megalo ensures more reliable and efficient coding and marking operations even in the most demanding plywood manufacturing settings.
Export Compliance: Ensure Legibility & Durability
Exporting plywood products often requires strict adherence to international coding and marking standards. Regulatory bodies demand clear labeling of:
- Country of origin
- Batch number or lot code
- Heat treatment or ISPM-15 marks
- Handling instructions
The Hx Megalo ensures that your export marks are consistent, durable, and fully compliant—protecting you from shipment delays, customs issues, or rejections at port.
Seamless Integration into Your Production Line
Despite its industrial power, the Hx Megalo is designed for user-friendliness. Whether mounted on conveyors or integrated into automated stacking lines, its intuitive Hx Manager software allows operators to control and update messages directly from any smart device—giving complete control and flexibility on the go. And for production lines running multiple Hx printers, the Hx Console provides centralized control through a single HMI, streamlining operations and ensuring seamless coordination across all connected printers.
Conclusion: A Smarter Way to Code on Wood
The challenges of printing on plywood are real—but so is the solution. With the Hx Megalo, you gain a rugged, reliable, and cost-effective industrial inkjet printer built for high-volume, textured, and porous material marking.
Whether you’re supplying to construction, packaging, or furniture industries, make your plywood products export-ready, traceable, and professionally marked with the confidence that comes from using MapleJet’s proven industrial printing technology.
