Leibinger JET3 CIJ Inkjet Printer

Users of small character Continuous Ink-Jet (CIJ) printers have come to rely on this amazing technology as an integral part of the production process. CIJ is the most flexible and versatile on-line printing technology available and covers the broadest range of coding and marking applications with very few limitations.

The overall performance of CIJ printers has improved over the past 30 years but many companies would like to see further improvements in reliability, maintenance, and cost of operation.  Difficulty starting the printer after being shut down for a day or longer and having to clean the print-head frequently with harsh solvents are common issues with conventional ink-jets.

With the introduction of the JET3, Leibinger has designed a CIJ printer that all but eliminates these issues. Leibinger’s unique print-head design retracts the ink gutter into the nozzle when the printer is shut down to form an air-tight seal, protecting these key components. Charge electrodes also stay clean, keeping print quality consistent. The end result is reliability and efficiency not possible with conventional CIJ printers. The frequency of JET3 print-head maintenance is typically months instead of every few days or even daily.

When the JET3 is started, ink stream pressure is stabilized before the gutter returns to the open position. This is where conventional ink-jets falter because the ink-stream can “wobble” while pressure is building and contaminate the narrow slot within the charge electrodes causing poor print quality, fault conditions and messy clean-up.
