Videojet has developed a new continuous inkjet (CIJ) printer specifically for high-contrast applications on dark materials using heavily and lightly pigmented inks. It helps manufacturers to reduce cleaning effort, service calls and unplanned downtime. The Videojet 1880 C is suitable for a wide variety of applications, including beverage cans, personal care packaging, industrial marking and flexible materials.
The Videojet 1880 C reduces the typical cleaning and maintenance effort often associated with pigmented CIJ printing systems. Thanks to an advanced ink system that ensures reliable ink flow and minimised pigment buildup, production downtime due to maintenance can be significantly reduced. In addition, the printer is equipped with a durable mixer tank that does not require annual replacement, supporting predictable operation.
Versatile applications
The printer is suitable for a wide range of applications, including beverage cans, personal care packaging, industrial marking and flexible materials. With the available colours of white, yellow, blue and red, the 1880 C provides clear, high-contrast marking that improves the visibility and legibility of codes.
Usability and connectivity
The intuitive touchscreen interface of the 1880 C enables operators to learn the controls quickly and use them efficiently. The integrated Wi-Fi connectivity offers additional convenience by facilitating access to printer data and networked support tools. This ensures greater efficiency and flexibility in production.
Reliable restart
Another feature of the Videojet 1880 C is its ability to recover automatically after up to four weeks of downtime. This feature is particularly beneficial for manufacturers with seasonal production or frequent product changes, as it minimises restart delays and ensures a smooth production workflow.
The Videojet 1880 C combines bold, high-contrast codes with simple operation, predictable maintenance and reliable uptime just like dye-based printers. This allows manufacturers to modernise their contrast printing without introducing additional complexity into their production processes.
