Videojet® 1040
The continuous inkjet printer specifically designed to deliver the proven Videojet performance for general coding needs at
great value.
Videojet has been committed to providing quality printing technology for over 40 years to manufacturers, both small and large, across the world. Now, Videojet has developed the 1040 continuous inkjet (CIJ) printer, specifically designed to meet the needs of small and medium sized manufacturers. Don’t accept unplanned downtime and frequent printhead cleaning. Don’t accept inconsistent code quality. And don’t accept mess and waste in your production. The Videojet 1040 CIJ printer addresses these challenges, delivering superior performance stability and consistent high-quality printing
Printer Stability
- Auto-cleaning printhead delivers up to 12 days of continuous use without cleaning
- Dynamic Calibration™ automatically adjusts printing parameters for changing temperature or humidity conditions without manual operator intervention
- Reliable start-up and print following extended shutdown up to two days
Print Quality
- Accurate drop placement technology provides precise character formation in multiple printing environments at multiple speeds
- Nozzle technology enables different size characters for high-quality codes on both primary products and outer cases
Fewer Coding Mistakes
- Visual job selection and layout preview helps operator ensure the correct codes will be printed
- Guided data entry and automatic date and time inserts help reduce risk of waste and rework from incorrect codes
- Auto Coding functionality uses the optional product detector to adjust to changing line speeds without the need for an encoder
Simple usability
- Intuitive 7” color touchscreen is easy to operate with fewer steps to input codes, requiring less operator training
- Smart Cartridge™ fluid delivery system ensures correct fluids are being used
- Modular design makes spare parts replacement easy for fast recovery from downtime
No mess, no waste, no mistakes
The Smart Cartridge™ fluid delivery system contains a microchip that ensures the correct fluids are being used
and alerts operators if the wrong cartridge is inserted.
A unique design ensures all fluids are drained from the cartridges with no waste, maximizing consumption and
saving costs.
