The UX2-Micro Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) Printer technology is designed for printing smaller characters with exceptional detail. Featuring a 40-micron nozzle, the UX2-Micro Printer compared to standard printers can produce smaller legible prints on products with limited print space. This capability is particularly valuable for industries like cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, where product space is limited, and print quality is crucial.
The UX2-Micro Printer also incorporates standard UX2 Series Printer features like the on-board video guidance, patented Ink Guard, enhanced dot control algorithm, Smart Bottle Cartridge design, an optional Safe-Clean Station, and more. Furthermore, it allows for individual part replacements without forcing unit shutdown for scheduled maintenance.
Primary Features
Explore the cutting-edge capabilities of the Hitachi UX2-Micro model, meticulously engineered to deliver precision printing for intricate applications.
The printhead is built with a 40-micron nozzle that is precision-engineered for 1-4 line printing, ideal for discrete and small markings in compliance-driven industries while maintaining product aesthetics.
Effortlessly manage routine tasks, maintenance, and recovery from faults with the help of UX2 printer's interactive onboard video guidance, guaranteeing smooth and efficient printing operations
