Continuous Inkjet Printer FAQs

Do you have further questions? Here you can find more details.

Continuous inkjet printing is a versatile technology optimized for primary packaging and secondary packaging. It is a great choice for marking date and traceability codes using small characters on the widest variety of surface and material types. It performs well at both low and very high production line speeds.

Examples of CIJ printing include batch codes, date codes, expiration dates and so much more!

Continuous inkjet printing is designed to produce high volume, high speed product marking with minimal ink consumption.

The appearance of a CIJ print is "dotted" as individual drops are printed next to each other at visible distances for efficient marking. CIJ printing is mainly about content.

If efficiency is your main concern with the final printed image, CIJ printing and the Linx 8900 series is the right choice for you.

The ResMark 5000 high resolution inkjet printer or the PA7100 print & apply labeling machine offer the capability for larger prints and logos on your products. 

Preventative maintenance intervals range from 1,400 to 18,000 hours or up to 24 months depending on ink type, environment and printer model. Servicing consists of an ink change and filter change to ensure optimum performance of the printer. We also offer maintenence contracts to help better support your maintenence needs. Contact us today to learn more! 

For daily or weekly maintenance, pull the print head cover to see if the print head is clean. Clean as needed. This maintenence can be performed by operators in under 30 minutes. 

Choosing a Linx 8900 series printer was a good first step in maximizing your print quality and reliability. To ensure the system is set up for success, we recommend having Diagraph factory trained and authorized technicians install your printer. These technicians not only will guarantee that the printer is set up for the best print quality, but they can also train your staff on best practices and maintaining the system for continued reliability.

The Linx 8900 performs real-time viscosity checks by monitoring jet time of flight and temperature at the print head which enables the Linx printer to add solvent to the system when needed. This greatly enhances printer performance and in turn maintains tremendous print quality. 

Yes. The Linx 8900 Series consists of a stainless steel cabinet with up to an IP65 rating and positive air feature to lock dust and debris out of the print head.
