Continuous Ink Jet Printers
Industrial, high-speed Continuous Ink Jet Printers (CIJ)
for reliable coding and marking
Linx continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers deliver reliable industrial printing for global production lines.
Our CIJ printers provide fast, non-contact coding for batch numbers, date codes, and product marking. For example, they print on plastics, glass, metal, coated card, and more. In addition, the latest Linx CIJ range, the 9000 Series, gives manufacturers more choice for reliable coding. Furthermore, it can print up to six lines of text to meet different requirements. Moreover, IP55 and IP65 ratings support operation in demanding environments. Finally, the 9000 Series Spectrum models enable high-contrast coding on dark substrates.
What is CIJ printing?
Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) printing is a flexible, high-speed way to add codes to products and packaging. Firstly, it applies codes as products move along your production line.
Specifically, it continuously fires tiny ink droplets, which are precisely directed to form text and codes. As a result, it prints on many materials without stopping production.
Therefore, you can keep output high and downtime low. In addition, compared to other technologies, CIJ offers dependable and consistent coding. Consequently, its minimal maintenance requirements make it a cost-effective choice for busy manufacturing environments.

FAQ
CIJ printing is a non-contact coding technology that uses a continuous stream of ink droplets to create text, dates, and codes on products and packaging.
CIJ can print on a wide range of materials, including plastics, glass, metal, paper, and flexible packaging; in addition it is especially suited to curved or uneven surfaces, and can print on wet or oily surfaces.
CIJ can print a variety of codes, including batch numbers, expiry dates, barcodes, 2D codes, sequential numbers, sequential text graphics and logos.
CIJ printers can run continuously with minimal intervention, reducing the need for frequent stoppages and helping maintain productivity.
Linx continuous inkjet printers offer low total cost of ownership through a balance of low running costs, minimal maintenance and high uptime, making it a cost-effective choice for many manufacturers.
The Linx 9000 Series
The latest Linx continuous inkjet printer range is the Linx 9000 Series. The range gives manufacturers options for entry-level coding, high-speed production lines, harsh environments and high-contrast pigmented coding.
The Linx 9000 Series introduces features designed to eliminate downtime, maximise efficiency, ensure every code is present and correct and reduce running costs. Compared with earlier Linx CIJ ranges, the 9000 Series adds benefits such as PrintProtect® battery backup, Iris® code verifications, higher speeds, up to 6 lines of print, GS1 Data Matrix 2D code builder and wider ink options.
Each printer model in the 9000 Series has unique specifications. Please refer to the product brochure or contact your local distributor, who can discuss the right product for your business.
