OEM thermal printhead for SmartDate

The Markem 36059-BA is a new OEM thermal printhead built for SmartDate 107mm 300 dpi systems. It is intended for production lines and packaging operations that require direct thermal printing on flexible film or labels. Buyers needing inkjet, laser or higher-resolution thermal output should select a different technology.

Practical limits of 300 dpi thermal printing

At 300 dpi the printhead resolves standard barcodes, batch codes and simple graphics on 107 mm wide media. Fine text below 6 pt, dense 2D codes or photographic detail will lose contrast. The thermal process also limits substrate choice to heat-sensitive coatings; non-coated films or thick cartons will not mark reliably.

Installation notes and common issues

The printhead mounts into the SmartDate carriage using the original fastening points; no adapter plates or firmware updates are required. Misalignment during fitting causes streaks or missing dots across the 107 mm width. Contamination from ribbon debris or cleaning fluids is the most frequent cause of premature element failure.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 107 mm 300 dpi version for my SmartDate printer?

This printhead is built for SmartDate models that require a 107 mm wide, 300 dpi thermal printhead, so select it only if your machine matches those exact specifications.

What does the 300 dpi rating deliver on a production line?

At 300 dpi the head produces sharp, scannable codes and text at standard SmartDate speeds, suitable for most date, lot and barcode labelling tasks.

Which interface does the KCE-107-12PAT2 use and what throughput does it support?

The KCE-107-12PAT2 connects through the SmartDate printer's native printhead socket, and its 12-element driver design matches the controller timing used in 107 mm 300 dpi SmartDate systems.
