The Latest Pharmaceutical Printing Technology

Abstract

Since 2012, Inkjet printing technology has been primarily used to mark OD tablets. In particular, SCREEN started selling tablet printing machines in 2016. This paper discusses inkjet technology and its application to tablet printing. The manufacture of pharmaceutical products entails three processes: visual inspection, printing, and inspection of the printing. Our latest machine, OMNITO, is able to execute these three tasks automatically. In addition, we have developed a printing machine, BEVERSA, which can print serial numbers and expiration dates on aluminum sheets. This information enables pharmacists to easily check patients' medicines.
