Details & features
Continuous Inkjet Printer with Code Assurance for Medium Duty Applications
Code-checking functions help operators select the correct code for each product. Productivity tools show printer and operational availability, supporting analysis of technical and operating causes of downtime and appropriate corrective action.
Dynamic calibration automatically adjusts jetting parameters to maintain print quality.
Print 1 to 5 lines of print for a range of coding needs:
Single line max speed = 279 m/min (914 ft/min)
Dual line max speed = 81 m/min (267 ft/min)
Tri-line max speed = 36 m/min (119 ft/min)
Printhead technology resists ink buildup that can interrupt conventional inkjet printers.
Long run time between preventive maintenance; up to 12,000 hour core life
Internal pump means no external air, minimizing potential for contaminants to enter ink stream
Auto cleaning printhead for fast start-ups, even after extended shutdowns
Make-up consumption as low as 2.4 ml/hour
Intelligent cartridge fluid delivery reduces spills and helps ensure the correct fluids are used.
Advanced software minimizes and mistake-proofs operator inputs to the coding and marking process to help reduce errors
Operator inputs are governed by rules which simplifies choices via field prompts, drop-down menus, calendar displays and predefined formats to help ensure correct entries
Bright, 10.4 inch color touchscreen interface that provides real-time fluid levels, maintenance alerts, print jobs and other operational information
Instant fault information is displayed to get your printer and line running again – fast
