Linx Printing Technologies has extended its Linx 8900 CIJ continuous ink jet printer range, suitable for various packaging sectors.

The two new models boost the range’s capabilities in a wide variety of markets including food and drink, cabling, bottling, extrusions and contract packing.

The new Linx 8920 and Linx 8940 feature enhancements that deliver even faster line speeds and easier set-up along with a further extension to service intervals, enabling the coders to deal with the most demanding of applications.

One feature is the first-in-class Advanced System Monitoring feature, extending service intervals to 18,000 hours or 24 months.

The Linx 8920 and Linx 8940 are also able to print up to five lines of code, with top speed of 6.25m/s for single line coding.

Charles Randon, Linx’s senior product manager, said: “Many companies now have to ask even more of their coders in response to the changing requirements of their customer base.  While retaining all of the proven features of our original model, the new Linx 8920 and Linx 8940 models have therefore been developed to meet ever-more demanding applications.”
