The Videojet 1510 small-character continuous ink jet printer from Videojet Technologies Inc. sets a higher standard in marking and coding performance for maximum uptime. Designed for medium-duty applications that involve printing codes of roughly 16-20 hours per day/six days per week, the Videojet 1510 is ideal for the food, beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical and personal care/cosmetic industries. It features the industry's first 'Smart Cartridges', which are fluid bottles with a microchip that identifies whether compatible fluid has been installed. This prevents errors in ink types or switching make-up and ink bottles. Smart cartridges are uniquely shaped to drain completely, wasting no residual ink to further reduce costs. The integrated core, which consolidates the printer's key ink system components into one part, requires preventative maintenance only every 9,000 hours, or 18 months.
It is easy to operate through its intuitive user interface and a simplified fluid replacement system. A unique printhead automatically sets up and adjusts to environment changes, resulting in consistently sharp print quality in even the most challenging situations. “Coding applications can take place in extremely diverse environment, which is why Videojet developed the Dynamic Calibration feature. Extreme hot and cold conditions can interfere with ink viscosity, which affects print sharpness and quality conditions, now operators don't need to spend time manually adjusting the printhead. Integrating the Videojet 1510 is simple via its USB port, which allows for hot-swapping print jobs and backing up messages,” says Anamika Srivastava, Deputy Manager – Marketing, Videojet Technologies.
