Less cleaning, more coding

We are proud to introduce Linx Spectrum 8940 together with our partner Linx Printing Technologies - an advanced inkjet printer that takes print quality to new heights!

Advantages of pigmented inks

Dyes filter light, making the ink darker. Pigments reflect light and make the ink lighter. This makes pigmented inks ideal for dark substrates such as cables, pipes, bottles, electronic chips and car parts, which often tend to be black or darker in colour. Pigmented inks also provide extremely high colour fastness which ensures that the colour is retained for a long time.

Challenges with pigmented inks

It is quite well known, especially for users of 'white ink' or pigmented inkjet printers, that pigmented inks often have more daily challenges and are not as easy to work with as regular dye-based inkjet printers. They often require more frequent servicing, daily cleaning and often lead to more downtime. But why?

  • Pigment is not naturally soluble in the solvent, which means it is often present:
  • A decrease in contrast.
  • Blocked filters, pipes and nozzles.
  • Broken pumps and valves.
  • The pigment also tends to settle and clump, resulting in poor printing.

Linx Spectrum 8940 has been designed with innovative technologies

The revolutionary new Linx 8940 Spectrum pigmented ink printer has been innovatively designed with patent-pending technology to ensure it carries all of the above critical features for maximum reliability when coding with white ink, resulting in longer service intervals, less cleaning and more uptime. The Linx 8940 Spectrum makes traditionally difficult hard pigmented coding easier and more reliable. The problems typically faced with pigmented inks have been tackled and resolved. It is now possible to print highly visible codes on wires, cables and extruded products with reliability and without daily maintenance.

Highlights:

  • High-contrast pigmented ink: prints are crisp and clear in high-speed lines.
  • High Line Speeds: Up to 10 m/s to meet the demands of demanding production environments.
  • Long service intervals: up to 8000 hours or 12 months, for trouble-free operation.

Unique features:

  • PureFlow® Filtration System: Ensures cleaner nozzle and high quality prints.
  • Autoflush Technology: Unique print head cleaning for increased reliability.
  • Vortex® Blend: disperses heavy pigment and ensures consistent ink quality.
