Videojet 1580+ Continuous Inkjet Printer — Advanced Coding for High-Speed Production Lines
What Is the Videojet 1580+ Continuous Inkjet Printer?
The Videojet 1580+ is a premium continuous inkjet printer engineered for manufacturers who require exceptional print quality at high line speeds without sacrificing reliability. As an advanced evolution in Videojet’s CIJ printing portfolio, the 1580+ is purpose-built for complex coding applications where precision, contrast, and legibility are mission-critical.
From multi-line alphanumeric codes to high-resolution graphics and 2D barcodes, this industrial inkjet printer delivers consistent, sharp results on a wide range of substrates — all while keeping your production line running at full capacity.
Key Features of the Videojet 1580+ CIJ Printer
The Videojet 1580+ is loaded with intelligent engineering designed to reduce operator effort and maximize production efficiency:
- Enhanced Print Resolution — Delivers high-definition print quality for fine-detail codes, small text, logos, and 2D matrix codes with crisp, readable output even at elevated line speeds.
- Intelligent Uptime Systems — Smart ink and fluid management technology proactively monitors consumable levels and system health to prevent unplanned stoppages during critical production runs.
- IP55-Rated Sealed Cabinet — The robust, washdown-resistant enclosure is built to withstand industrial environments including food processing, chemical, and heavy manufacturing facilities.
- Intuitive Color Touchscreen — A large, operator-friendly interface simplifies message creation, job switching, and real-time monitoring — reducing training requirements and minimizing human error.
- Flexible Ink Portfolio — A broad range of Videojet-certified inks supports adhesion and contrast on glass, metal, plastic, rubber, porous surfaces, and more.
Why the Videojet 1580+ Stands Out in CIJ Printing?
When it comes to CIJ printing at an industrial scale, the difference between a good printer and a great one is measured in uptime, print accuracy, and total cost of ownership. The Videojet 1580+ is engineered to excel on all three fronts.
Its advanced printhead technology maintains consistent drop formation across variable temperature and humidity conditions — a critical advantage in environments where print quality can degrade without warning. Combined with Videojet’s globally proven service infrastructure and genuine consumable supply chain, the 1580+ delivers a level of operational confidence that generic alternatives simply cannot match.
For quality managers and production engineers who are accountable for both line efficiency and coding compliance, the Videojet 1580+ is a strategic investment, not just a peripheral device.
FAQ's
The Videojet 1580+ is positioned as the higher-specification model in the Videojet CIJ printing range. It offers enhanced print resolution and advanced ink management features designed for more complex and demanding coding applications. The 1580+ is the preferred choice where print quality, fine-detail graphics, and high-speed accuracy are the top priorities.
A continuous inkjet (CIJ) printer generates an uninterrupted stream of electrically charged ink droplets. Selected droplets are deflected onto the product surface for coding, while unused droplets are safely recirculated. This non-contact, high-speed printing method makes CIJ printing the standard technology for coding on moving production lines in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and industrial manufacturing.
The Videojet 1580+ industrial inkjet printer supports coding on a broad range of substrates including glass, PET and HDPE plastics, aluminium, tinplate, rubber, wire jacketing, paperboard cartons, and porous materials. Videojet’s extensive ink portfolio includes formulations optimized for adhesion, contrast, and durability on each surface type
The Videojet 1580+ supports multi-line alphanumeric text, date and time stamps, batch and lot codes, 1D barcodes, 2D Data Matrix and QR codes, logos, and regulatory compliance text. Its enhanced resolution makes it particularly well-suited for applications requiring fine-detail graphics or high-density codes on small surface areas.
Yes. The Videojet 1580+ is designed to meet the hygiene, traceability, and regulatory requirements of food processing and pharmaceutical manufacturing environments. Its IP55-rated sealed cabinet handles washdown conditions, and Videojet offers a range of food-safe and pharma-compliant ink formulations to support compliance with GS1, FDA, and other applicable standards.
The Videojet 1580+ incorporates intelligent uptime systems that continuously monitor ink levels, fluid conditions, and system performance. Proactive alerts notify operators before a potential issue disrupts production. The self-cleaning printhead design and guided maintenance prompts on the touchscreen interface further reduce the need for reactive servicing, keeping your CIJ printing operations running with minimal interruption.
Videojet provides a comprehensive global support network including certified field engineers, genuine OEM spare parts, preventive maintenance contracts, and operator training programs. Remote diagnostic capabilities allow Videojet service teams to identify and resolve issues proactively, minimizing on-site service visits and keeping your industrial inkjet printer operating at maximum efficiency.
