Videojet 1710 Ink Jet Printer Combines High-Contrast Codes with Low Maintenance
For applications that require easily readable variable data codes on dark or difficult to mark materials, Videojet Technologies Inc. has designed the new Videojet® 1710 small character continuous ink jet printer.
The printer uses high-contrast, pigmented inks to create bright, clean codes on surfaces for which dye-based inks are not effective, such as colored glass, rubber tubing, plastic cabling and dark paperboard. It is capable of printing a variety of fonts in multiple languages, as well as linear bar codes, 2D DataMatrix codes, custom logos and graphics.
Advanced capabilities
- Innovative ink management design maximizes uptime
- High-contrast, pigmented inks create bright, clean codes on dark or difficult surfaces, dramatically exceeding standard dye-based inks
- Advanced connectivity makes integration simpler
- Up to 5 lines of high resolution print with speeds up to 888 fpm (271 m/min)
Simple to maintain
- Industry leading 4,000-hour production with high contrast ink before preventative maintenance is required
- Modular core design for predictable and easy maintenance
Special Core Engineered for Pigmented Inks
- Intelligent clustering of pigmented filters and components with similar life spans for reliability and easy maintenance
- New conical ink reservoir minimizes natural effects of pigment settling
- Core eliminates messy filter and pump replacement
Printhead Extends Intervals Between Cleanings
- Advanced Clean Flow™ printhead design reduces the frequency of printhead cleanings for even the toughest pigmented inks
- High-efficiency nozzle reduces printhead cleaning through precisely formed and directed ink drops
- Fluids circulate to enable clean starts/stops
- Specially filtered air from perforated front face of printhead directs ink and dust to reduce build up
- Smooth deck for easy cleaning of pigmented ink
Simple maintenance, reliable operation
The 1710 features Videojet’s advanced Clean Flow™ printhead design that maximizes uptime by reducing the frequency of printhead cleanings, even with the toughest pigmented inks. The Videojet 1710 uses the proven Smart Cartridge™ fluid system in use at tens of thousands of production lines across the world. By reading the embedded microchip, the printer confirms that compatible fluid has been installed to prevent errors in ink types or switching make-up and ink fluids. Saving time and money, the Smart Cartridge™ fluid system is designed to drain completely, wasting no residual fluids. The needle-and-septum design eliminates the need for operators to pour ink, preventing fluid spillage and waste.
Designed to deliver reliable operation in intermittent duty-cycle operations, the Videojet 1710 can be put into “standby” mode with power to the unit but not printing for up to two weeks, and then be put on line and ready to print in less than 6 minutes. This is made possible by the unit’s automatic flush at shut down, automated stirring of the ink, the aforementioned Core and software to manage ink and printer recirculation. Core change out is simple and mess-free, and can be done by the user. Pigmented filters and components with similar life spans are clustered for reliability and easy maintenance.
