Continuous Inkjet Printers
Our alphaJET series printers deliver high-speed, high-contrast coding on diverse surfaces including wire, cable, and industrial products. Engineered for durability in demanding environments, these printers feature smart start technology and brushless pumps for reduced downtime. Compatible with proprietary inks, they ensure consistent print quality at production speeds up to 1600 feet per minute while minimizing solvent consumption through advanced recovery systems.
Industrial Inkjet Fluids
Gem Gravure manufactures a comprehensive range of inks including low-VOC, UV-reactive, and solvent-based formulations. Our diamondJET fluids adhere to challenging substrates like Teflon and Tefzel while maintaining legibility under extreme conditions. Custom-blending capabilities ensure optimal performance for specific applications, with eco-friendly options that reduce emissions costs and regulatory compliance burdens for manufacturers.
Software Solutions
CODE-M software enables remote monitoring and control of printing operations through four integrated modules. diamondBRIDGE ensures secure data transfer between production lines and quality control systems, while diamondJET Connect offers centralized management of multiple printers. These solutions streamline workflow efficiency, reduce coding errors by 92%, and provide real-time visibility into printing processes across distributed manufacturing facilities.
Bandmarking Fluids
Specialized bandmarking fluids provide secondary identification for insulated wire without compromising insulation integrity. These formulations offer excellent adhesion and UV resistance while maintaining compliance with industry standards for electrical safety. Available in multiple colors, they enable precise distance measurement markings and withstand the rigors of installation and environmental exposure over extended service life.
Training Programs
Our certified technicians deliver on-site and remote training covering inkjet fundamentals, system maintenance, and troubleshooting. Customized programs ensure operators achieve proficiency in printer operation and fluid management. Training modules include hands-on instruction for routine maintenance procedures, reducing client downtime by 40% through improved operator competence in system optimization and problem resolution.

Questions
What industries benefit from Gem's marking systems?
Our technology serves wire/cable manufacturers, food & beverage producers, pharmaceutical companies, and electronics manufacturers requiring traceability solutions for compliance and quality control.
Can your printers handle high-speed production lines?
Yes, our alphaJET 5X printers operate at speeds exceeding 1600 feet per minute while maintaining print clarity on moving products like cables and industrial tubing.
Do you offer environmentally friendly options?
Our low-VOC inks reduce emissions costs by up to 60% compared to standard formulations, and our solvent recovery systems minimize waste in continuous printing operations.
How does your remote support work?
GEM ASSIST enables real-time diagnostics and troubleshooting through secure remote access to printer systems, reducing downtime by 75% compared to on-site-only service models.
Can one printer use multiple ink colors?
While printers handle one color at a time, systems can be flushed and filters replaced to switch between ink types, allowing use of different colors with the same equipment.
