The 1580 C is simple to operate and maintain, featuring the same cleaning cycles and preventive maintenance requirements as dye-based printers. Its fluid cartridge design helps to reduce the pigment blockages and printhead clogs that are common in other pigmented ink printers. In addition, a new printhead design increases uptime by allowing more time between cleanings.

The 1580 C printer is engineered to print codes with consistent quality, excellent contrast, and strong durability to avoid degradation and fading during production runs. The conical mixer tank helps improve ink recirculation, which reduces pigment settling and increases ink consistency. Videojet Dynamic Calibration automatically maintains superior print quality for optimum uptime even under changing environmental conditions.

The Videojet SIMPLiCITY^TM user interface delivers code assurance through the use of error-proofing rules that define editable fields, permissible data types and date range restrictions, that reduce printer interactions and the chance for user errors. The Videojet OPTIMiZE tool helps manage ink and make-up usage, calculate future fluids forecast and determine power wastage.
