Energy-Efficiency
Hitachi CIJ printers are engineered with energy-saving features, empowering users to minimize electricity usage during operation. Thanks to the pump design, the power consumption of the printer when printing is already one of the lowest at 73VA. Moreover, the Hitachi UX2 series also incorporates a selectable power save mode that either dims or turns off the touch screen after 3 minutes when it’s not being programmed, further reducing your energy bills and carbon footprint.

MEK-Free Inks (Eco-friendly Inks)
Hitachi printers utilize safe and sustainable ink formulations such as petroleum-based fluids, and MEK (methyl ethyl ketone) free inks, minimizing environmental impact, and promoting workplace safety. The MEK-Free inks are designed to operate with UX2 series printers & offer a sustainable alternative to standard inks that can reduce the frequency of refills and the level of emissions - thereby cutting your cartridge waste by up to a third.

EPA Compliance
The UX2 series employs innovative and sustainable pump technology that not only ensures high reliability and lower operating cost, it also reduces VOC (volatile organic compounds) emissions by restricting the amount of air being sucked into the ink circuit at the printhead, thereby ensuring compliance with Environmental Planning and Assessment (EPA) Regulations.

Safe-Clean Station
A safe operating environment is important for all manufacturing employees. Hitachi has created an innovative automated printhead cleaning station, that not only keeps operators free from fluid contamination but also professionally cleans the printhead using the minimum amount of fluid. This means significant time savings and reduction of waste liquid, thereby minimizing the CO2 footprint.
