When superior performance and uptime are critical for production efficiency and consistent high-quality printing is required, the Videojet DataFlex® 6530 is the ideal printer. The airless, patented all-electronic system and ribbon drive can achieve speeds up to 700ppm and offers multiple integration options with a modular design.

The Videojet DataFlex® 6530 comes standard with Videojet iAssure™ code quality assurance technology, which automatically detects common print defects, helping to ensure high-quality codes are applied to your
packages time after time.* Combined with our CLARiTY™ software, the 6530 reduces the potential for print and coding errors, reducing waste and rework with no extra manpower or equipment.

Uptime Advantage

• Intelligent Motion™ technology removes the need for compressed air and associated costs and downtime, which helps maximize consistent print quality and printhead life
• Discover code legibility issues that indicate the potential need for printer maintenance
• Higher throughput versus prior models by 25%

Built-in productivity

• Default settings and no factory air gauge help maintain consistent code quality and avoid the risk of operators over-adjusting conventional air and energy settings
• Quick change printhead and minimal wear parts can reduce the time that production is interrupted when replacements are required
