Next-generation CIJ printer for small factories

THE Linx 8900 CIJ (continuous ink jet) printer can print human- and machine-readable codes and its special reporting functions allow companies to identify ways to improve productivity.

The printer, from Linx Printing Technologies Ltd, has a large high-resolution touch screen and stores multiple line settings. The top screen is customizable for quick access to regularly used functions.

The Self-Service Wizard guides operators through the process for an engineer-free service that minimizes downtime. Only filters and used fluids are changed regularly, reducing cost and waste.

The sealed printhead can function in even the harshest factory conditions and typically only needs to be cleaned every three months. The autoflush system cleans the printhead every time the printer is shut down.

A temperature auto-adjust function maintains code quality at different temperature ranges on the production line. An eight-hour fluid refill warning system allows refills to be easily planned into production schedules, and the automatic fluid checking system ensures that the correct ink and solvent are in place.
