Sealed printhead for minimal cleaning

Sealed printhead and no moving parts. Typically cleaned once a week, even when using the printer 24 hours a day – seven times fewer cleanings compared to other pigmented printers.

Pure flow®

PureFlow® is an innovative and powerful filtration system that purifies all ink in the Spectrum tank. The continuous filtration reduces the risk of printhead blockages and ensures high contrast and print quality in every mark.

Vortex®

High-quality prints and trouble-free restarts with patent-pending Vortex® – a robust mixing tank with a unique method of redistributing settled heavy pigment, delivering a high-contrast and opaque print every time.

Perfect for the cable industry

The inkjet printer is designed for fast wire and cable applications and has “meter marking” to measure the wire and cable and thus encode the message at the correct interval.

What our customers say

Nordic Plastic Group

Matthias Nilsson

The best thing about this machine is that it is very easy to use. Anyone can walk in and use it. Our previous machine was impossible, in the end there were only three or four of us who could use it. With the Linx 8900 everything works perfectly and it has made our production easier.

UNE Products

Pär Bergkvist

The hope with labelling our products is to create a brand. We want to be known more than just in the market we operate in. We hope that when people change their floors in twenty years and tear off the molding and see our name; that they will call us. That's why it's so fantastic with companies like Logimark, who really see our opportunities and are so accommodating. We are very happy and the labelling is great.

World Class Service! Many thanks to Logimark's fantastic Team who, last night, set up a remote connection to our malfunctioning label applicator, within an hour we were back up and running and were able to completely avoid a costly downtime on our Kan Jang production. We are grateful to have such a professional partner!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Linx 8940 Spectrum

The Linx 8940 Spectrum is specifically designed to print on dark surfaces. It is compatible with both porous and non-porous surfaces, making it an excellent solution for a variety of industries. Here are some examples of materials and applications where the Linx 8940 Spectrum is particularly effective:

  • Cable marking
  • Extrusion
  • Colored glass
  • Plastic
  • Rubber
  • Metal
  • Cardboard

Linx 8940 Spectrum performs excellently in high-speed production, maximum speed is 10 m/s. This speed is based on tower printing, which means that the text is oriented 90 degrees and in this way the number of dots/drops is reduced vertically.

If tower printing is not accepted, 5 point high text applies and then the speed is limited to 9,10 m/s.

If you want to print QR codes or barcodes that often require more drop height, the top speed also drops. For example, a QR code requires a minimum of 21 points height.

The Linx 8940 Spectrum is well suited for humid and dusty environments with its IP65 rating.

IP65 is an international classification that describes how well a device is protected against dust and water. In IP65, the numbers stand for different types of protection:

  • 6: The first number (6) indicates the protection against solid particles, such as dust. A 6 means that the device is completely dustproof and that no dust can penetrate, providing full protection even in dusty environments.
  • 5: The second number (5) describes the protection against liquid, in this case water. A 5 means that the device is protected against water jets from all directions. This means that the device can withstand splashes of water and even light jets of water, but should not be exposed to strong water jets or immersion.

In summary, a device with an IP65 rating is both dustproof and protected against splashes and light jets of water.

 

It is enough to check the print head once a week even in 24/7 production. Other similar machines in the industry require cleaning at least once a day.

This leads to fewer downtimes and thus more production carried out.

You primarily create messages directly on the printer's panel. The panel consists of a high-resolution touch display that is very user-friendly.

If you want to transfer variable data, this is easiest done via Ethernet and is standard for the printer. Here you can, for example, send unique data for each marking or completely control the machine externally from a PLC. This form of control is done via the ASCII communication protocol.

We can also offer a cloud service called PrinterNet, this service allows you as a user to monitor your printer(s) wherever you are. You can either monitor all printers and easily get an overall picture of everything from fluid levels to any alarms. You can also completely remotely control the printer via PrinterNet wherever you are in the world. In other words, everything you can do on the touch panel on site, you can also do remotely.
