Videojet’s lowest ‘cost-per-code’ printer
The new Videojet 1120 small character Micro Valve ink jet printer from Videojet Technologies Inc represents the largest technology advancement in small character printing since the introduction of the company’s most widely sold printer – the Videojet Excel series – in the mid-1980s.
Videojet says: “Our patented Micro Valve technology combines the key benefits of continuous and drop on demand technology. The result is a simple-to-operate and maintain single-fluid system that prints reliable codes with fast drying solvent-based inks.”
Designed with operators, technicians and the environment in mind, the Videojet 1120 offers fast, reliable start-up; a sealed, rugged printhead, simple maintenance and a single-fluid ink system that reduces fluid usage
by up to 80%.
The Videojet 1120 is ideal for printing variable codes on primary and secondary packaging materials such as plastics, cardboard, glass, metal, films and shrink wrap.
“Customers with low production rates in the extrusion industries who currently use embossing, hot-foil or manual date marking systems will increase efficiency and reduce costs by switching to the Videojet 1120,” says Jon Pritchard, product manager, Videojet Technologies Inc. “It delivers the lowest cost-per-code in the industry.”
The elimination of delicate conventional ink charging components makes the Videojet 1120’s sealed printhead the most rugged in its class. The printhead also does not require the printer to be shutdown to be maintained, which obvioiusly maximises uptime.
The Videojet 1120 has a colour touch screen interface that makes printer control and message selection easy for the operator.
The system prints two lines of text at heights from 2–30mm (0.08–1.2") without losing production speed and has an IP54 rating for harsh production environments.
