World's First on-Press RFID Transponder Labels

"XINK Laboratories Ltd. of Ottawa, Canada ( http://www.xink.biz/ ) is pleased to announce the world’s first successful on-press manufacture of fully functional UHF RFID transponder labels. The solution, which has never been shown before at a public forum, was first showcased at the Mark Andy "RFID Focus" Seminar held April 27th & 28th at their Technology Center in Milford, OH. Mark Andy, the leading narrow web printing equipment manufacturer demonstrated to over 300 label and package converting companies the fully integrated process. After printing the antenna using XINK Silver UHF Antenna inks on a Mark Andy 2200 press, and attaching prototype Texas Instruments EPC Gen 2 straps with a Tamarack P500 RFID inline strap attachment machine, the resultant four-color adhesive RFID labels immediately read from over 14 feet."
