New Inkjet Printer Developed For Pigmented Inks

The new Linx 6900 Spectrum continuous inkjet printer is claimed to have been developed for pigmented ink types, including Linx's White pigmented ink 1060.

Incorporating all the features of the Linx 6900 model, the Linx 6900 Spectrum is designed to provide simple and reliable operation, whilst delivering consistent high contrast coding with pigmented inks, said the company.

Its ink system and printhead are designed to minimise the need for maintenance, in continuous and batch production applications.

The Linx 6900 Spectrum can print up to five lines of text, barcode and graphics with a range of coloured high opacity inks, claimed the company.

According to Linx the new model offers consistent print quality at line speeds of over 7.2 metres per second, and provides simple, clean operation, even in the harshest conditions.

Its low maintenance and robust design minimises the risk of printer downtime, helping to maximise production output whilst minimising coding costs.

Its features include a colour user interface with WYSIWYG display and menu system, low-maintenance operation and a curved appearance.

In addition to the Linx 6900 Spectrum, Linx has launched several new pigmented inks, offering improved drying times to enable faster line speeds.

Designed for compatibility with the Linx 6900 Spectrum, Linx White pigmented ink 1306 is said to contain a high pigment content to provide opacity print on a variety of surfaces and it adheres to various substrates, including polyethylene (PE).

Linx Brilliant white ink 1306 is said to contain a very high pigment content to provide opacity print on a variety of surfaces.

It adheres to substrates that include polyethylene (PE).

Linx High-opacity grey ink 1311 is designed for applications where previously both white and black inks might have been needed and it is suitable for printing on either light or dark coloured substrates.

Rajiv Narayan, CIJ product executive at Linx Printing Technologies, said: "The new model carries all the benefits of the Linx 6900 - maximum uptime, long-term reliability, low cost of ownership and excellent print quality - whilst fulfilling the requirements of companies for whom pigmented inks are critical.

He continued: "Together with the new Linx inks 1306 and 1311, the Linx 6900 Spectrum enables customers to get the best coding results for pigmented inks, whatever properties, whether fast drying, light fastness or compatibility with a particular material, are required.
