Cognitive Solutions’ C/Rx Provides Optimal Workflow, Cost,
and Performance for Your Pharmacy Printing Applications

The C/Rx printing solution offers pharmacies the ability to save time and costs associated with their prescription fulfillment process.

The C/Rx printer generates prescription labels fast and saves money on
energy and supplies.  The simple media path prevents label jams and ensures long-lasting performance.  Because the C/Rx is a thermal printer, no messy or expensive toner is required and it utilizes far less energy than a laser printer, a ratio of 10:1 energy consumption.

Printer Imaging

Printer Imaging (or marking) on various media can be achieved in a number of ways, in which users major requirements for printer images include; machine-readable quality, per print costs, durability of media, and ease of printing systems integration.

The main printer technology in use in AIDC Industry printing is provided by Thermal Printers.  There are two basic methodologies used by Thermal Print-head technology printers; Direct Thermal (DT) and Thermal Transfer (TT).

  • Direct Thermal (DT) Printing: creates an image or marks the printable media by the use of small controlled heat sections on the Thermal Printer’s print-head.  Heat alone is the active agent in this type of printing.  Specially coated and thermally sensitive media (typically paper) reacts to the direct heat or ‘Direct Thermal’ activity of the print-head elements and the paper turns black (or darkens) at fine spaces where this reaction occurs between the paper’s coating and the print-head.

Thermal Transfer (TT) Printing: creates an image by melting a coating of wax or resin of a specially inked ribbon onto media (typically paper) as the media passes under the print-head.  At each of these fine spaces the ribbon’s ink stays glued (or ‘ironed’) onto the media surface and as such is ‘Thermally Transferred’ from the ribbon to the media.  Using this method it’s the ribbon material that reacts to the direct heat of print-head elements and the media turns black (or darkens) to the degree that the ribbon’s ink is burned onto the printable surface. 

  • Wax ribbons are best for general purpose labeling.
  • Wax/resin ribbons are a good choice for moderate scratch, abrasion and mild chemical resistance.
  • Resin ribbons provide the best performance in harsh environmental conditions.
