Q: Egg Coding Machine Buying Guide: Key Specs to Compare

When comparing egg coding machines, check these specs: Resolution – 300–600 DPI for crisp codes and scannable QR. Speed – eggs/min or trays/min; match to your line. Drying time – the code should set before the tray reaches packing; ask for the set time on your own shells. Error rate – ask for miss and smudge rates from a continuous run, not from a demo. Ink – food-grade, certified, with visible colors. TCO – price plus ink, maintenance, energy and downtime. Also confirm safety documentation, spare-part availability and after-sales response time before you buy.
