The Markem-Imaje 8018 TTO Printhead (ENM10018596) is a genuine OEM near-edge thermal transfer overprinting head designed for Markem-Imaje 8018, S8018, and 8081 series coders. With a 32mm print width and 300 dpi resolution, it delivers sharp, high-contrast variable data printing directly onto flexible packaging — including best-before dates, batch numbers, barcodes, logos, and compliance codes.
A worn or failed TTO printhead leads to illegible codes, compliance failures, and production stoppages. Replacing it with the original ENM10018596 restores full print performance, maintains code quality through the entire ribbon roll, and keeps your packaging line running without interruption.
At Hansprintec, we supply genuine Markem-Imaje TTO printheads with fast global shipping, competitive B2B pricing, and expert pre-sale support to ensure you receive the correct part for your coder.

Genuine Markem-Imaje OEM Near-Edge Printhead
ENM10018596 is a factory-original near-edge thermal transfer printhead from Markem-Imaje. Near-edge technology positions the heating elements at the edge of the printhead, allowing the ribbon to separate from the substrate almost immediately after printing — essential for high-speed TTO applications on flexible packaging lines.
Consistent Print Quality Across the Entire Ribbon Roll
The Markem-Imaje 8018 platform is specifically engineered to deliver excellent print quality from the first meter to the last meter of ribbon — no fading, no degradation in legibility. This is critical for compliance-sensitive applications where every printed code must be readable and scannable.
300 DPI Precision at Up to 4,000 mm/min
At 300 dpi with print speeds up to 4,000 mm/min, this printhead handles high-throughput packaging lines without sacrificing code clarity — making it suitable for fast-moving consumer goods, food & beverage, and pharmaceutical production environments.
Compatible with 8018, S8018, and 8081
A single part number covers the full Markem-Imaje 8018 series, including the standard 8018, the S8018 variant, and the 8081 model — simplifying your spare parts inventory management across multiple lines or sites.
Patented Design with Minimal Maintenance
The ENM10018596 features a patented printhead design that minimizes ribbon contamination, protects packaging integrity, and reduces the frequency of cleaning and maintenance interventions on your production line.
