Linx Printhead
For 9000 Series printers
Eliminate unplanned downtime
You spend your days balancing output targets, staffing challenges, and constant operational demands. With limited time and attention, you need equipment that performs reliably without adding to your workload.
That’s why the Linx CIJ printhead is designed to take care of itself. Unique AutoFlush technology automatically runs a daily cleaning routine, without operator input or solvent, reducing startup time and the risk of failures.
By reducing hands‑on intervention and unexpected interruptions, the Linx printhead helps you focus on maintaining production flow rather than managing printer upkeep.
No more worries about printhead damage
Reliable by design
- Sealed from damage: The critical components are sealed providing protection from liquids, knocks and the manufacturing environment.
- Zero adjustments: The parts inside the printhead do not require replacement or adjustment.
- Robust design: The printhead cover tube protects from knocks and drops
- Reduce risk of stoppages: The unique curved plates reduce the concentration of charge and the likelihood of ink build-up.
No more worries about daily maintenance
Eliminate unplanned downtime
- Automatically prevent blockages: The Linx AutoFlush cleaning routine automatically cleans the printhead from the inside, on startup and shutdown, to prevent ink buildup and ensure clean startups. AutoFlush runs daily and reduces the need for printhead cleaning.
- Zero solvent waste: AutoFlush uses no additional solvent, great for you and the environment

How does AutoFlush work?
No more worries about manual cleaning
Clean, thorough, safe
- Eliminate unplanned downtime: Even with AutoFlush, Linx printheads still need occasional cleaning, but less frequently than other CIJ printers. The Linx SureClean wash station automatically cleans the Linx printhead to prevent unscheduled downtime and poor print quality caused by ink build-up.
- Precision jets: 11 jets of cleaning fluid target the critical printhead components to leave them clean and prevent failures. The built-in fan then dries the head for immediate restarts.
- No training required: Operators can use the SureClean to clean the printhead thoroughly and safely in just 5 minutes without any training or contact with cleaning fluids. Read more about Linx SureClean
