ABOUT THE MACHINE

Details & features

Continuous inkjet printer with a long-life core for high-speed applications.

Dynamic calibration automatically adjusts jetting parameters to maintain print quality.

Print from 1 to 5 lines of text at high speeds:

Single line max speed = 293 m/min (960 ft/min)

Dual line max speed = 146 m/min (480 ft/min)

Tri-line max speed = 81 m/min (265 ft/min)

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

The source states a target of five years between scheduled wear-part replacements (1); warranty terms are not confirmed.

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, 264 mm (10.4 in) 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

Drill down into Printer Availability data to discover technical and operational causes of downtime, get to the root cause of downtime events and fix them for good
