Color Irregularity During Disk Label Printing
When a disk removed from a stack, it is charged with static electricity by separation.
A transfer line is a major cause of an electrostatic charge due to friction. The repulsion between the charged disk and ink may cause blurry ink (color irregularity) during printing.

Conventional countermeasures
Conventional static eliminator
- The effect was not sufficient.
- It cannot improve the quality.
Countermeasures with static eliminators (ionizers)
An ionizer can reliably prevent the production of defective products and reduce disposal cost.

Improvements and Effects
Words from the worksite
Reduced disposal cost due to color irregularity
Disposal cost due to color irregularity: $2,000/month x 12 months = $24,000/year
In addition, the labor for the maintenance of static eliminators can also be reduced.
