What Is a Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) Printer?
Continuous inkjet printers are well-suited to industrial production applications because they can print continuously at high speeds using a non-contact coding technique. Ink pumps and recycles constantly to allow for more streamlined printing on moving products or materials with irregular surfaces.
Another benefit of CIJ printing equipment is real-time variable data printing. This gives you the ability to print serial numbers, dates, 2D codes, and other text or codes that change throughout the batch. These printers are a solid choice for a range of industrial applications from cosmetics and pharmaceuticals to food packaging, metal parts, and cables.
Key Benefits of the 9750
The model 9750 from Markem-Imaje has several advantageous features, including:
- Modular design. The 9750 uses Intelli’Swap® modular ink and air systems, which make it easy to replace components without removing the printhead. The simple click-in and click-out design makes routine maintenance fast for less downtime.
- Sustainability and low TCO. The 9750 also uses inks devoid of MEK, and the Itelli’Design® process further reduces VOC emissions. When operated in its consumable-saving mode, this system can reduce ink use by up to 50% to 60% for overall lower total cost of ownership.
- Precision and print quality. The Intelli’Ink® industrial ink marking system with Jet Speed Control automatically feeds ink and still allows for easy timing adjustments. This makes it possible to print precision codes free of errors, regardless of the line speed. The Jet Speed Control feature fine-tunes the placement of ink droplets when line speeds fluctuate, for consistent overall print quality.
- 4.0 connectivity. This printer is compatible with Ethernet, serial, and USB connectivity. It features a configurable 24-pin I/O interface with over 70 signals for network and PLC integrations. MiVista™ cloud services facilitate predictive diagnostics and consistent system monitoring to minimize downtime while significantly boosting overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
- High uptime and low maintenance. With the 9750 you’ll spend less time on maintenance because it has been designed to maximize service intervals. The 9750 is built with a durable stainless steel housing that is IP56-rated housing and does not require plant air. Daily service is also easy thanks to sealed 0.8L ink cartridges and an easy-access panel on the front of the machine.
