Multiple-jet SCP printers can be used to produce many small lines of text, one very large line, or a small number of medium lines of text.
They can also be used to create better barcodes and graphics such as logos and symbols, or a combination of all these elements.
Imaje released multiple-jet technology in the early 1990’s, and has had more than a decade to perfect the technology.
Today Imaje remains the only company able to commercially produce this very useful variety of inkjet printer.
The newly launched Imaje 9000 Inkjet Series that will be on display at Auspack 2005 introduces businesses to a new generation of bi-jet capable inkjet printers.
The Imaje 9000 Series improves productivity through superior useability, reduced downtime, simplified maintenance procedures and a low cost of ownership.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. What is ‘multiple-jet’ technology for Imaje continuous inkjet printers?
- Bi-jet = two jets per printhead (1.2G) ? Imaje 9000 Series & Imaje S8 Series
- Quad-jet = four jets per printhead (1.4G) ? Imaje S8 Series
- Imaje also offers multiple-jets in multiple-printheads i.e. Two printheads with two jets per head that are managed by one controller (2.2G) ? Imaje S8 Series
Q. How many lines of text can multiple-jet printers print?
- Single-jet: up to 4 lines of text
- Bi-jet: up to 8 lines of text
- Quad-jet: up to 16 lines of text
Q. How does multiple-jet coding technology help your business?
By using only one Imaje machine with one multiple-jet printhead, a manufacturer can double or quadruple the possible message. To achieve this result other inkjet suppliers would have to install 2 or 4 machines.
Bi-jet and quad-jet technology saves manufacturers initial capital equipment costs, reduces maintenance requirements and saves space (managing only one machine verses two or four).
In addition, multiple-jet technology can produce larger, more easily scanned EAN barcodes and graphics, including logos, with only one inkjet printer.
Most notably Imaje 1.2G and 1.4G multiple-jet printers provide manufacturers with unparalleled coding, message and ultimate business flexibility.
Q. Where would a business use Imaje multiple-jet technology?
Bi-jet and Quad-jet printers are ideal for printing ingredient lists, or anything that requires more than 4 lines of text, directly onto product packaging or cartons, eliminating the need for labels or multiple inkjet printers.
Imaje multiple-jet printers can also be used to replace Drop on Demand (DOD) technology for carton coding.
The Imaje multiple-jet small character printer (SCP) enables a higher print quality; barcodes, graphics and logos can be printed in a larger format.
Additionally the Imaje S8 and Imaje 9000 Series has a lower cost of ownership.
Imaje bi-jet and quad-jet inkjet printers give businesses outstanding flexibility and choice during the coding and marking component of production.outstanding flexibility and choice during the coding and marking component of production.
Q. Where can you see bi-jet technology in action?
Imaje are inviting manufacturers to bring product and packaging samples to Auspack 2005 to trial or discuss.
Manufacturers will see a variety of coding and labelling technology in-action on the Imaje Auspack stand (# 418).
Where possible samples will be done on the spot, providing a unique opportunity to test the latest technologies without having to interrupt production lines.
