Putting the continuous into continuous inkjet

The printer has been designed to deliver industry first predictive capability providing superior uptime and performance. The result is a revolutionary design that achieves your marking and coding objectives
today and as they evolve.

Industry first predictive ink build-up sensor

Significantly reduce the main cause of unplanned printer downtime with an industry first ink build-up sensor. The 1860 printhead incorporates a unique sensor which enables the printer to detect build up in the printhead, alerting the user with advanced notification before print clipping and the associated EHT trips occur.


Continuously monitor your 1860 printer’s health

Powerful on-board intelligence runs through a revolutionary system, with 53 sensors continuously monitoring over 150 key indicators of printer performance, providing expert diagnostics, analytics and guiding you to correct problems before they happen.


Make up reserve tank with a minimum 8 hours of run time*

An additional reserve tank protects production under normal operating conditions – allowing ample
advance warning to prevent a downtime event.

Precise fluid transfer measurement increases the stability of the ink and make-up mix, and provides reliable indication of remaining fluid levels. The 1860’s fluid system features a larger 1 litre Smart Cartridge™ with the Videojet embedded microchip, ensuring only compatible fluids are used. Loading the wrong ink or an
incompatible make-up fluid is impossible, helping prevent common operator mistakes.

*Under normal operating conditions

ink jet printers from Videojet : The full print without contact

Contactless coding

The inkjet printers are based on various technologies. According to them, they are used for marking small or large print. The technique of continuous deflected ink jet is mainly used in the industry for small type.The so-called “drop on demand” printing method can be divided into three variants: the piezoelectric pulse technology Solenoid and Bubble Jet. Following these variants, small and / or large print can be printed.

Technique of continuous inkjet

In the case of the technique of continuous deflected ink jet printed characters are produced by individual ink drops. The movement of product on the production line is operated to print the letters or numbers one after the other on the product surface. It is a process without contact with the product. Today, this marking technique is mainly used to print expiration dates, such as those on the yogurt cups, bottles and cans.

Fragmentation into separate droplets

The ink jet emerges from the printhead through a nozzle whose diameter varies with the size of the droplets and thus the desired print.An ultrasound signal is sent at a fixed frequency to a piezo crystal located at the back of the nozzle and the ink jet breaks into a plurality of drops. Depending on the voltage applied to the crystal, the ink jet, as initially undivided stream is converted into individual ink drops.

Recycling unused ink

When the drops come out of the tunnel load, they pass under a spoiler.Positively charged, this plate attracts negatively charged ink drops and deviates from their initial trajectory. The degree of deviation depends on the level of negative charge drops of ink: the larger the load, the greater the deviation will be. Uncharged drops it continues on their straight trajectory towards the block back and are reinstated in the ink module to be reused.

From the inkdrop to the text

Fonts are composed of a matrix of vertical segments corresponding to the ink drops. For example, five vertical segments, each with a height of up to seven drops of ink, are a character in a font based on a 5 x 7 matrix. The charge level of a drop of ink determines its position in the vertical segment. By moving the printing surfaces, the printer ensures horizontal alignment segments, according to a also controlled automatically pace.

Drop on demand

With the technique of drop on demand, unlike the ink jet technique, only necessary to print drops are produced. With the technique of the continuous deflected ink bubble is used in water-based ink. The water is heated until bubbles form. The ink is then conveyed into the nozzles in the form of tiny bubbles. With piezo technology, a voltage is applied to the piezoelectric crystals. This voltage induces an expansion of the crystals, which eject the printing ink from the nozzle. The drop volume is controlled by electrical impulses. printers to solenoid valves are used only in industrial applications. Valves, incorporated in nozzles are opened only when the ink droplets are ejected from the nozzle.

  • No clogging of nozzles with a continuous flow of ink – Marking fast drying – High Speed ​​- Suitable for marking small characters – High resolution
