As only one of the few self-installable printers available on the market today, the Linx 10 CIJ (continuous inkjet printer) was designed for marking and coding many industrial products, including paint buckets/cans and PVC pipes. It can print up to 3 lines on any dry surface and can be used for a broad range of printing capabilities including,
- bold character printing
- lower-case and upper-case text
- numbers, symbols, and text
- rotated character (tower) printing
- variable character heights and widths
Furthermore, the Linx 10 CIJ printer has numerous advantages over other continuous inkjet printers on the market. The benefits being, maintaining a higher level of reliability despite its size and taking up less room compared to other similar printers. These two advantages can help the workplace improve productivity.
With the latest software upgrade, the Linx 10 can make barcodes, QR, and 2D data matrix, and also has the newly expanded printing matrix.
Coding of Metal Paint Cans and Plastic Paint Buckets
Aluminum and plastic are two of the most widely used packaging materials in several industries. Fortunately, coding and marking on these materials isn’t a challenge with the Linx 10 CIJ printer. As with other industries that use aluminum and plastic, this packaging must have cv bar codes, batch numbers, or other traceable codes. With the Linx 10 CIJ, you’ll benefit by being able to replace expensive, labor-intensive manual labeling with a more cost-effective application.
Coding and Marking PVC Pipe
The Linx 10 continuous inkjet printer enables consistent coding and marking on plastic extrusions, specifically PVC pipes. Coding on PVC pipes is a more complicated process that considers several critical factors. For instance, continuous product lines are usually in harsh environments characterized by high humidity and temperatures. You also have the issue of dust contamination. Therefore, using an adequate printer is vital to the success of your operation, and that’s where the Linx 10 CIJ can play a significant role.
The Link 10 also has an enhancement that allows Carton Coding “tall” message style support and is perfect for printing on pipes that also use barcodes all around. This software is available at an additional cost.
Advantages of using Linx 10 CIJ Printers
Since its inception in the 1950s, CIJ printers are still one of the most preferred coding and marking solutions in many industries today. If you’re considering a CIJ printer for either of the above applications, here are five reasons to consider the Linx 10 CIJ:
- It’s versatile
- It’s reliable
- It offers a faster printing speed
- The ink used in the Linx 10 is quick-drying
- It will save you time and money
Additionally, maintenance on the Linx 10 is surprisingly simple and can be done by any employee after a demonstration by one of our technicians. To learn more about the Linx 10, its advantages, and its applications, call Factronics USA today at (305) 888-6714.
