With our old printer, we kept getting misprints with missing characters or smudged imprints.

Since we started using the Hitachi printer, the imprints of the best-before date and lot number have always been excellent.

Hitachi UX2 Series Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have further questions? Here you can find more details.

Is continuous inkjet technology right for my application?

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.
