The new Videojet 1880 Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) printer – enabling productivity pioneers.

Videojet Technologies has launched new Videojet 1880 CIJ printer. Building on over 40 years of experience in the continuous inkjet coding market, the Videojet 1880 is designed to enable users to proactively prevent manufacturing downtime using advanced digitally-enabled technology to deliver unparalleled performance.

Engineered for productivity pioneers on their journey towards Industry 4.0, the Videojet 1880 features the advanced MAXIMiZE™ diagnostics platform that monitors printer health and performance patterns and helps operators easily identify if a fault is likely to occur. Advance alerts prevent expensive downtime so you can plan your maintenance and changeovers to suit your own production schedule.

If an issue does occur, VideojetConnect™ Remote Service helps operators react and recover faster with real-time notifications and instant visibility to printer data. Rapid Recover™, included standard as part of VideojetConnect™ Remote Service, uses advanced automated troubleshooting to quickly diagnose a fault and recommend action to either repair or swap with a spare so that production is resumed within 20 minutes or less. Simple onboard 'How-To' videos provide operator instruction for basic tasks while Videojet CIJ experts are available on-demand for immediate remote assistance. Customer-granted remote access can allow a Videojet technician to remotely adjust configuration settings so you don't have to wait for a service visit.

Operator errors are often a leading cause of downtime, scrap, or rework. The Videojet 1880 helps to ensure the correct, high-quality code is applied every time by preventing human errors with a suite of code management, line integration capabilities, and unique features. The innovative 1880 printhead incorporates a unique sensor that enables the printer to detect ink build up in the printhead and subsequently notifies the operator to potential code quality issues. Then, with the push of a button, anyone can activate the new auto-rinse feature to remove ink build-up within 90 seconds. The 1880 makes printhead cleaning easier, faster, and more consistent so that ink build-up – the main cause of code clipping – is virtually eliminated. With the 1880, we are expanding our portfolio of SIMPLICiTY™ CIJ printers featuring our tablet inspired touchscreen interface with built-in error-proofing rules so customers can minimize user training and refreshers for most printer operations.
