The printing or labeling system is selected for the application surface, code or label size, and production line speed.

ABOUT THE MACHINE

Details & features

Clear content printing at high production speeds.

UHS printers support more content at high speeds, including three-line applications at speeds commonly associated with two-line printing. Actual performance depends on the raster and content.

Precision ink-drop control supports clear characters at high speeds and longer throw distances.

Dynamic calibration automatically adjusts jetting parameters to maintain print quality.

Technology designed to add content while maintaining production speed.

Single line max speed = 508 m/min (1666 ft/min)

Dual line max speed = 212 m/min (694 ft/min)

Tri-line max speed = 179 m/min (588 ft/min)

Printhead technology resists ink buildup that can interrupt conventional inkjet printers.

Long run time between preventative maintenance; up to 14,000 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.

Bright display with WYSIWYG and function keys for easy operation

User levels to separate operation from installation and maintenance

Prompted user fields to help reduce coding errors
