The new Videojet 1210 small character continuous inkjet printer from Videojet Technologies Inc. is ideal for simple coding applications that involve printing codes roughly six hours to eight hours per day, five days per week.

“This printer meets the needs of customers with simple code requirements such as lot and date codes in the food, chemical, and personal care or cosmetic industries,” says Kevin Honan, small character inkjet product manager at Videojet. “The Videojet 1210 is designed for low-utilization applications or applications that require mobility and flexibility for frequent production line changes.”

The Videojet 1210 features Smart Cartridge fluid bottles, which are microchipped and identify fluid-printer compatibility to prevent errors such as installing incorrect ink types. Smart Cartridge fluid bottles are uniquely shaped to drain completely, wasting no residual ink. A needle-and-septum design provides a clean, simple way to add ink without spillage and waste.
