The UX-Pigment Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) Printer technology is designed to print with durability, resistance, and great contrast. Featuring an airless magnetic agitator stirring system, the UX-Pigment Printer prevents pigment from settling during operation. This results in reduced downtime due to common filter and nozzle clogging when using both soft and hard pigment inks.

The UX-Pigment Printer also incorporates standard UX Series Printer features like the tool-less filters and a robust tapered printhead. The printer boasts advanced communication and network capabilities. Furthermore, it allows for individual part replacements without forcing unit shutdown for scheduled maintenance.
