For applications that require easily readable variable data codes on dark or difficult to mark materials, Videojet Technologies Inc. has designed the Videojet 1710 small character continuous ink jet printer. The printer uses high-contrast, pigmented inks to create bright, clean codes on surfaces for which dye-based inks are not effective, such as colored glass, rubber tubing, plastic cabling and dark paperboard. It is capable of printing a variety of fonts in multiple languages, as well as linear bar codes, 2D DataMatrix codes, custom logos and graphics.

Benefits
Capabilities to meet your fast production lanes:
- Dynamic Calibration™ adjusts jetting parameters automatically to ensure high quality print
- The unique fluid system assures proper dispersion of pigments while printing, or when idle for long periods of time
- Print from 1 to 5 lines of text at high speeds:
- Single line max speed = 271 m/min (888 ft/min)
- Dual line max speed = 122 m/min (400 ft/min)
- Tri-line max speed = 67 m/min (221 ft/min)
Engineered for extended runs; Uptime Advantage via:
- CleanFlow™ technology resists ink buildup that can cause ordinary ink jet printers to shut down
- New conical ink reservoir minimizes natural effects of pigment settling
- Long run time between preventive maintenance; up to 4,000 hour core life
- Internal pump means no external air, minimizing potential for contaminants to enter ink stream
- Auto cleaning printhead for fast start-ups even after extended shutdowns
No mess, no waste fluid delivery:
- Innovative fluid management system simply and reliably delivers ink to the products you need coded without significant operator intervention
- Smart Cartridge™ fluid delivery system to virtually eliminate spills and help ensure the correct fluids are being used
Simple Usability via Videojet standard CIJ interface:
- Bright display with WYSIWYG and function keys for easy operation
- User levels to separate operation from installation and maintenance
- Prompted user fields to help reduce coding errors
