Needham Coding UK has launched an own brand range of continuous ink jet (CIJ) printers for coding and marking applications.

The ‘N’ series of CIJ inkjet printers offer small and large character printing from 0.6mm up to 19mm, and a Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF) of 40,000 operating hours.
The range is designed for harsh wet and dry applications across a wide range of industries, including food & beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, DIY and personal care / cosmetics.

Ideal for global coding and marking applications, the compact ‘N’ series uses multi-national character sets, featuring multiple languages and Unicode character printing.
Aled Ellis, managing director at The Needham Group, said: “The ‘N’ series is set to be a real game-changer both for existing customers and previously untapped business. We are confident the printers will meet the efficiency requirements of virtually any production environment with the capability to print anything and marking and coding everything.”
Depending on the model, the ‘N’ series can print a single line of text at speeds exceeding 600m/minute, two lines over 200m/minute and three or four lines of print at 100m/minute.
