Videojet 1880 Plus -The Industrial Coding Machine
Videojet 1880+ Continuous Inkjet Printer
Every Industrial Coding Machine on a production floor carries one promise: It will be ready when the line runs.
The Videojet 1880 Plus takes that promise further than most. It is not simply a faster or more capable CIJ printer it is a system engineered around the specific operational realities of manufacturers who run multiple shifts, manage complex SKU portfolios, and cannot absorb
the cost of unplanned coding downtime.
Where the standard 1880 sets a benchmark, the 1880 Plus raises it with enhanced throughput capability, expanded ink compatibility, and a level of self-management that reduces the daily burden on your production team without reducing the quality of every code it places.
The Videojet Continuous Inkjet 1880Plus is built around one core principle: keep your production line running with minimal intervention.
Beyond the Standard Model - What the 1880 Plus Adds to Your Line
The Videojet 1880 Plus designation in industrial coding equipment is often marketing shorthand for a minor update.
On the Videojet 1880 Plus, it means something specific and operationally significant.
Think about the points of friction on a typical production coding setup. Fluid changes that interrupt the line mid-shift. Operators making manual adjustments that introduce coding errors. Scheduled maintenance windows that erode available production time. Ink
formulations that work on three of your four substrates but not the fourth.
The 1880 Plus addresses each of these friction points directly through a combination of extended fluid capacity, predictive maintenance logic, and an expanded ink portfolio that covers a wider range of production conditions than the base model.
For manufacturers running production inkjet printers across multiple lines or facilities, the cumulative impact of those improvements is not incremental. It is the difference between a coding system that your team manages and one that largely manages itself.
What the Videojet 1880 Plus Industrial Coding Machine Delivers
The 1880 Plus is not a feature list – it is an operational system. But understanding its capabilities
helps production engineers and procurement teams evaluate it accurately against their specific requirements.
Extended Fluid Capacity for Longer Uninterrupted Runs
In high-volume production environments, fluid change frequency is a hidden productivity drain. Every time an operator interrupts a run to replace ink or make-up fluid, there is time lost, there is a risk of error, and there is a window for contamination.
The Videojet 1880 Plus is configured with an extended fluid capacity system that significantly increases the interval between fluid changes keeping your line running longer between necessary interventions and reducing the total number of operator touchpoints per shift.
Predictive Maintenance That Works Before You Know You Need It
Most industrial printers for production lines operate on a reactive maintenance model. Something degrades, an alert fires, an operator responds. The 1880 Plus operates on a different principle.
Its onboard diagnostics continuously monitor system health indicators ink concentration, drop formation consistency, printhead temperature, and fluid consumption rates and generate predictive alerts before degradation reaches a point that would affect code quality or cause a stoppage.
For production managers running KPI frameworks built around OEE and line efficiency, this is a capability with a measurable return. Fewer reactive interventions mean fewer unplanned stops, higher line availability, and lower maintenance cost per unit produced.
Broad Substrate Coverage With a Single Platform
One of the persistent challenges in industrial coding is substrate diversity. A single facility may run glass bottles, flexible BOPP film, corrugated secondary packaging, and HDPE containers often on lines in close proximity to each other.
The 1880 Plus addresses this through compatibility with Videojet’s full ink portfolio — more than 50 certified formulations covering fast-dry, high-adhesion, food-safe, MEK-free, UV-fluorescing, and high-temperature variants. One platform. One service contract. One operator training program. Multiple substrate challenges solved.
Continuous Inkjet Technology at Its Most Refined
The foundation of the 1880 Plus is Videojet’s continuous inkjet technology – a proven, non-contact coding method that has been refined over decades of industrial deployment.
The continuous inkjet principle – generating a pressurized ink stream that is broken into charged droplets and electrostatically deflected onto the substrate – delivers a combination of speed, flexibility, and substrate compatibility that alternative technologies like thermal inkjet or laser cannot match across the full range of industrial coding applications.
The 1880 Plus represents the most advanced expression of that technology in Videojet’s current CIJ printer lineup.
Industrial Printers for Production Line Use - Where the 1880 Plus Fits Best
Not every production environment has the same coding demands. The Videojet 1880 Plus is designed with enough flexibility to perform well across most and engineered with enough depth to outperform alternatives in the most demanding.

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.
