What our customers say
We have been using Hitachi Inkjet printers for labeling for years and are fully satisfied.
With Diagraph, I am particularly impressed by the competent and reliable service.
Victor Jimenez Bernat, Technical Manager at Popp Feinkost GmbH
With Diagraph, I am particularly impressed by the fast service and speedy delivery,
not to mention the excellent printing quality of the Hitachi printers.
Jürgen Albers, Team Leader Electrical Engineering/Mechanics, Conrad Schulte GmbH & Co.KG, Rietberg
With our old printer, we kept getting misprints with missing characters or smudged imprints.
Since we have been using the Hitachi printer, the imprints of the best-before date and lot number are always excellent.

Hitachi CIJ print examples

Frequently asked questions regarding the Hitachi UX series
Do you have further questions? Find more information here.
Continuous Inkjet printing is geared toward product labeling in high volume and at high speed with minimum ink consumption.
The CIJ print appears "dotted" as individual drops are printed next to each other at visible distances for efficient labeling. CIJ printing is mainly about content.
If efficiency is your main concern with the final printed image, CIJ printing and therefore Hitachi devices are the right choice for you.
If you prefer larger> (20 mm print height) prints with appealing fonts and logos on your products, feel free to take a look at our other products to find the right technology for your application.
