Linx Printing Technologies has launched the Linx 8900, a next generation continuous ink jet (CIJ) printer.

Designed to maximise efficiencies during production, delivering valuable cost and time savings, the Linx 8900 is capable of printing both human and machine-readable codes.

New features include a large high resolution touch screen, real-time data with downtime information and batch counts, and a temperature auto-adjust function maintains code quality at different temperature ranges on the production line.

An eight hour fluid refill warning system allows refills to be more easily planned into production schedules, and the automatic fluid checking system ensures that the correct ink and solvent are in place.

Charles Randon, senior product manager at Linx Printing Technologies, said research showed that CIJ users want ease of use and reliable printing that maximises output and minimises errors.

“The new Linx 8900 addresses all these requirements with a number of important enhancements; and at the same time we have taken the opportunity to further extend the capabilities of the printer to include valuable reporting functions.  The result is a coder that ticks all the boxes for easy operation, reliability and efficiency and takes CIJ technology to a new level.”
