Linx Printhead
For 9000 Series printers
Eliminate unplanned downtime
You spend your days balancing output targets, staffing challenges, and constant operational demands. However, with limited time and attention, you need equipment that performs reliably without adding to your workload. That is why the Linx CIJ printhead is designed to take care of itself.
For example, unique AutoFlush technology automatically runs a daily cleaning routine, without operator input or solvent. As a result, it reduces startup time and lowers the risk of failures. In addition, 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, therefore protecting them from liquids, knocks, and harsh manufacturing environments.
- Zero adjustments: The parts inside the printhead do not require replacement or adjustment. As a result, you avoid unnecessary intervention and reduce operator error.
- Robust design: The printhead cover tube protects against knocks and drops. In addition, it provides consistent protection in demanding production conditions.
- Reduce risk of stoppages: The unique curved plates reduce charge concentration. Consequently, they minimise ink build-up and lower the risk of unexpected interruptions.
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. Therefore, it prevents ink build-up and ensures clean startups. AutoFlush runs daily. As a result, it reduces the need for manual cleaning and ongoing maintenance.
- Zero solvent waste: AutoFlush uses no additional solvent. Consequently, it supports both cost reduction and environmental goals.
The Linx CIJ Printhead
How does AutoFlush work?
AutoFlush automatically cleans the printhead internally during startup and shutdown. In doing so, it clears ink residue before it can cause issues. As a result, startups remain reliable and print quality stays consistent. In addition, the process reduces the need for operator intervention.
No more worries about manual cleaning
Clean, thorough, safe
- Eliminate unplanned downtime: Even with AutoFlush, Linx printheads may occasionally require cleaning. However, this is far less frequent than with other CIJ printers. Therefore, the Linx SureClean wash station provides an additional cleaning solution. It automatically cleans the printhead to prevent downtime caused by ink build-up.
- Precision jets: 11 jets of cleaning fluid target critical components. As a result, they remove residue effectively and help prevent failures.
- The built-in fan then dries the head. Consequently, operators can restart production immediately.
- No training required: Operators can use the SureClean system quickly and safely. In fact, a full clean can be completed in just five minutes without training or contact with cleaning fluids. Read more about Linx SureClean
