Question 1

Is continuous inkjet technology right for my application?

Accepted Answer

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 therefore Hitachi equipment is the right choice for you.

If you would like to see larger (> 20 mm print height) prints with appealing fonts and logos on your products, feel free to look around our other product portfolio for the right technology for you.

Question 2

Which of the Hitachi UX models is right for my application?

Accepted Answer

Which continuous inkjet printer is right for you depends first on the print result you want to achieve.

Therefore, ask yourself the questions:

What exactly do I want to print? (texts, codes, logos)

What should the overall print image look like? (length and height)

On which material do I want to print with which color? (also alternatives)

If you want to mark with black ink, have no special requirements for material and speed, you are well advised to use the flexible devices of the basic, standard or high-end class (UX-B, UX-D or UX-E).

Contact us to clarify the questions about the right model together. We will be glad to help you.
