Pilot Gemini Hi-Resolution Printer

Streamline Packaging’s Pilot Gemini printing system is designed to print superior quality hi-resolution characters on porous or non-porous surfaces. For applications that require immediate dry times on non- porous surfaces, the Pilot Gemini also has the capability to run UV LED curable inks. With a massive 5.6” of print height and print speeds up to 220 ft/ min, the Pilot Gemini provides a cost effective solution for making your mark on a wide variety of products and substrates.

The Pilot Gemini is designed for label replacement. Featuring Streamline Packaging’s largest printhead with up to 5.6” of print height, the Pilot Gemini prints high quality 360 dpi GS1 barcodes with ease. And don’t forget that ink jet consumable costs are typically 1/10 of the cost of thermal transfer labels and eliminate preprinted cartons and SKUs of label and ribbon inventory. Get rid of the label and print directly on cartons and cases! Any way you look at it, Streamline Packaging’s Gemini provides users with an affordable solution to meet their ink jet coding needs.
