Industries That Rely on Videojet CIJ Printing Technology
The Videojet 1880 is a preferred industrial inkjet printer across some of the world’s most demanding production sectors:
Food & Beverage
Print best-before dates, batch codes, and nutritional identifiers directly onto cans, bottles, cartons, and flexible pouches at full line speed — with ink formulations approved for indirect food contact.
Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare
Meet Precise regulatory coding requirements with consistent, legible marks on vials, blister packs, ampoules, and folding cartons — supporting traceability and compliance at every stage.
Automotive & Industrial Components
Mark part numbers, serial identifiers, and traceability codes on metal, rubber, and composite materials — even in high- temperature or oil-rich environments.
Cable & Wire
Print continuous metre-marking, voltage ratings, and compliance codes at high speed on cable jacketing and insulation materials.
Cosmetics & Personal Care
Code product identifiers, lot numbers, and expiry dates on tubes, bottles, and laminate packaging without affectingsurface aesthetics.
FAQ's
A continuous inkjet printer (CIJ) works by generating a continuous stream of electrically charged ink droplets. These droplets are deflected by an electric field to form characters, codes, or symbols on a moving substrate —without any contact between the printhead and the surface. This makes CIJ printing ideal for high-speed industrial production lines where non-contact coding is essential.
The Videojet 1880 industrial inkjet printer is compatible with a wide range of porous and non-porous substrates, including glass, PET, HDPE, aluminium, steel, rubber, corrugated cardboard, and flexible film packaging. With the right ink selection from Videojet’s extensive portfolio, it can mark reliably on almost any production surface.
The Videojet 1880 is engineered for minimal intervention. Its smart fluid management system monitors ink and make-up fluid levels automatically, and cartridge replacements are tool-free — typically completed in under a minute. Routine maintenance intervals are significantly longer than conventional CIJ printers, reducing line stoppages and total cost of ownership.
Yes. The Videojet 1880 supports pharmaceutical-grade coding with inks and print capabilities that comply with GS1,FDA, and EU serialization regulations. It prints sharp, verifiable barcodes, 2D Data Matrix codes, and alphanumeric strings on a variety of pharma packaging formats – supporting full traceability requirements .
Yes. The Videojet 1880 features integrated connectivity options including Ethernet and USB, with optional remote monitoring support. Production managers can access real-time printer status, fault alerts, and performance data without being physically present at the machine — enabling faster response times and proactive maintenance planning.
Videojet offers one of the broadest ink portfolios in the industry, with over 50 formulations available for the 1880 series. These include fast-dry inks, high-pigment inks for dark substrates, MEK-free and food-safe formulations, high-temperature inks, and UV-fluorescing inks – giving manufacturers complete flexibility across applications and regulatory environments.
The Videojet 1880 stands apart through its combination of smart technology, ease of operation, and proven industrial reliability. Compared to generic CIJ printing systems, it offers superior uptime, a more intuitive operator interface via the CLARiTY® controller, broader ink compatibility, and the backing of Videojet’s global service network. For manufacturers prioritizing low total cost of ownership and consistent print quality, it is one of the most capable continuous inkjet printers available today.
