Direct Printers

General Information

Marvel Marking Direct Printing Machines

Marvel Marking Products Model 5324 and 5624 direct printers are designed to continuously print web materials, such as paper, plastic film, foil, sheet metal, rubber and wallboard. They use precision-molded rubber dies and high-contrast inks, which are economical and versatile for many coding applications. During operation, the ink roll transfers a film of ink to the character face of the type wheel, which transfers the ink onto the material.

These lightweight and durable devices use frictional contact with the printing material to achieve continuous printing rates of up to 600 feet per minute. They need minimal modifications and no complex programming, making them simple to set up, use and maintain. The 24-inch circumference wheel offers 3-inch or 6-inch widths to suit various character types and sizes. They can reproduce most fonts and logos for a highly professional, decorative touch.

Marvel offers assessments, rebuilds and repairs on Direct Printers built by Marvel Marking and those built initially by Matthews International.
