Videojet 1880 C High-Contrast Continuous Inkjet Printer
The Videojet 1880 C continuous inkjet (CIJ) printer utilizes pigmented inks to deliver bold, high-contrast codes while offering operation and maintenance like a dye-based printer Built specifically for hard and soft pigmented CIJ applications Fewer planned maintenance stops with a long-life ink tank without annual replacement, and a service module life of one year Automatic recovery routines support restart after up to four weeks of shutdown without manual intervention Uses the industry-proven SIMPLICiTY™ user interface that is consistent with other Videojet products
Reduce maintenance demands without sacrificing contrast quality
- More predictable day-to-day operation from an ink system designed to reduce sedimentation and pigment buildup
- Fewer planned maintenance stops with a long-life ink tank without annual replacement
- Reduced maintenance frequency with service module life of one year
- Lower service costs over the life of the printer from clean startup routines that reduce manual cleaning even after extended shutdowns
- Color-coded, easy-to-replace Videojet SmartCell™ components can be changed within minutes
Reliable uptime you can count on
- Consistent operation from more stable pressure control and phasing
- Consistent pigment density from an updated ink circulation and mixing process
- Automatic recovery routines support restart after up to four weeks of shutdown without manual intervention
- Improvement in uptime performance compared to previous contrast printer models
High-contrast codes without compromise
- Supports clear, readable codes with both hard and soft pigmented inks for a wide range of contrast applications
- Ink system is based on proven Videojet inkjet technology
- Maintains consistent print quality without constant ink agitation or operator attention
- No trade off between contrast and throughput, with line speeds comparable to standard Videojet dye-based CIJ printers
- Supported by a portfolio of pigmented inks, from bright whites on dark materials to yellow, blue, and red inks that enhance visibility
Simple operation for every shift
- Less operator training required from a consistent touchscreen interface
- Fewer errors that lead to downtime with guided workflows built into the interface
- Visual management that prioritizes critical alerts and minimizes unnecessary warnings
- The Videojet SIMPLICiTY™ user interface delivers code assurance out of the box, with error-proofing rules that define editable fields, permissible data types, date range restrictions, and more
