End-user benefits

"After we made contact I sent Technifor some samples to mark using their micro-percussion marking system" explains the production engineer. "When we got them back I sent them to our
customer and they were approved almost immediately."

"Because the inkjet marking system requires consumables which are relatively expensive, as well as routine daily maintenance, there was an added cost saving" he concludes. "The
Technifor system, by contrast, is very reliable and requires almost no maintenance and no consumables. Overall it's just a much more suitable and reliable process."
