Models and Options
The T260E is available in single-head (1 printhead) or dual-head (2 printheads) configurations. Dual-head models allow splicing to achieve wider print heights up to 25.4 mm or printing on two separate lines simultaneously. Optional accessories include large-capacity ink supply system, external sensors, and encoders for integration into existing lines.
Materials and Structure
The printer body is made of industrial-grade protective material with aerospace-grade aluminum, offering robustness and light weight. The separate printhead design allows flexible mounting in confined spaces. The 7-inch touch screen provides intuitive operation.
Applications
Ideal for electronic components, cosmetics and personal care, building materials, automotive parts, aviation parts, wire and cable, pipe manufacturing, food packaging, beverage packaging, pharmaceutical and healthcare packaging, and industrial production lines requiring variable data printing, anti-counterfeiting and traceability coding.

Case Study
Tobacco Packaging Traceability in Turkey
DOCOD T260E was deployed in a high-speed cigarette packaging line for serialized tobacco coding. The system prints batch codes, tax-control codes, DotCode/DataMatrix, QR codes, and supply-chain traceability codes for anti-counterfeiting and regulatory tracking. Operating in dusty and space-limited conditions, it achieved stable coding and scanning at high throughput.
