Linx 8900 Series CIJ Inkjet Printers - 8900, 8910, 8920, 8940

The lineup of 8900 Series small character continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers – consisting of the 8900, 8910, 8920 and 8940 – offers manufacturers a coding solution with the simplest, most intuitive user interface, the fewest maintenance requirements and the most built in features to ensure maximum uptime. Choose from a range of models right-sized to meet your unique coding application.

KEY FEATURES

  • Sealed, industrial print head provides maximum print quality protection over longer periods of time due to sealed design requiring no manual adjustments that risk damaging critical print head components
  • Automatic print head flushing allows up to 100 starts and stops before recommended cleanings
  • Automatic fluid monitoring offers 8-hour advanced fluid refill warnings, requiring less unplanned downtime and less line-operator monitoring
  • Simple one-touch fluid cartridge refills during printing mean no mess, no tools and no mistakes
  • Effortless product changeovers are made simple by storing and easily retrieving multiple production line settings
  • Large, icon-driven high-resolution touchscreen allows for easy customer configurations putting important printer functions right at the line-operator’s fingertips
  • Extended shutdowns of up to 3 months without the need to flush or drain the printer are possible
  • Extended self-service intervals provide up to 13,000 - 18,000 hours or 18 - 24 months of operation between service interventions (see models)
  • Advanced System Monitoring performs real-time health checks, allowing line operators to anticipate preventive maintenance actions and avoid unscheduled stoppages
  • Prints 3 to 5 lines of alphanumeric text on virtually any material (see models)
  • Improved integration across your production line by connecting and controlling several printers from your PC, using parallel I/O and ethernet connectivity
  • Stainless steel case is easy to clean, has no dirt traps and provided a surface which liquid naturally slides off

OPTIONAL FEATURES

  • Right-angled printhead provides flexibility for fitting into tighter spaces like inside guarding of cartoning machines and between tensioning rollers
