Videojet Introduces New 1880 Series Continuous Inkjet Printers

Videojet Technologies introduced the new Videojet 1880 +, 1880 UHS, and 1880 HR CIJ printers. Taking the Videojet 1880 platform to the next level, these solutions combine cut-ting-edge features with advanced digital connectivity while delivering printed codes, dates and other variable data on products and packaging.

The user-friendly 1880 +, 1880 UHS (ultra-high speed) and 1880 HR (high-resolution) models are designed to help increase throughput, minimize downtime, and reduce costs over the printer’s life, while bringing efficiency, performance and productivity to today’s production environments. Engineered for optimum quality and reliability, the 1880 Series printers apply crisp, clear codes on a wide range of materials, including plastic, glass and metal, on high-speed production lines.

The Videojet 1880 + features built-in Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity to help users meet their current and future Industry 4.0 goals. It delivers seamless, non-contact industrial printing on almost any substrate, including flat and curved surfaces. The printer also en-ables proactive analytics and intelligent plant operations, such as vital sign monitoring, smart alerts, remote support and advanced troubleshooting.

The Videojet 1880 UHS is an ideal solution for high-speed production lines in the canning, beverage, and wire and cable industries. With refined printed characters and an en-hanced printhead, this new ultra-high speed printer delivers consistent performance and print quality, even at speeds surpassing 500m/min.

The Videojet 1880 HR, available later this year, is engineered to consistently produce high-resolution micro-characters, QR codes and other 2D codes with precision and clarity. It leverages optimized fonts and a redesigned printhead to deliver micro-printing for the electronics, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and confectionery industries while meeting the growing demand for product traceability.

“With these new printer models, we can deliver a solution for nearly any coding and marking application, from ultra-high speeds to micro-sized codes,” said Marcy Vanderbei, global product manager for Videojet. “The advanced digital connectivity offered by these printers provides an easy and secure way for customers to link their marking and coding equipment to their production systems and digital factories.

“The 1880 Series is designed to promote eco-conscious practices by supporting recyclable packaging and utilizing safer, non-CMR inks,” said Vanderbei. “Furthermore, the 1880 Se-ries features low make-up consumption and minimal VOC emissions, aligning with the prevailing sustainability trends in today’s market.”
