Continuous Inkjet Printers (CIJ)

Continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers are widely used in industrial applications for high-speed, non-contact printing on a variety of surfaces. They work by continuously ejecting a stream of ink droplets, which are electrically charged and then deflected by a magnetic field to form text, graphics, or barcodes. This technology is highly reliable, enabling printing on moving products, and is suited for industries like packaging, food, and pharmaceuticals due to its ability to print on irregular surfaces and at high speeds. Additionally, CIJ printers are known for their long run times and minimal maintenance requirements.

Leibinger Sealtronic is an advanced nozzle sealing technology featured in all Leibinger continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers. Unlike conventional systems that leave the printhead open to air between print jobs—causing ink to dry and clog—Sealtronic automatically seals the nozzle and gutter in a closed loop when not printing. This prevents ink from drying out, ensuring instant start-up without cleaning, reducing downtime, and extending printer lifespan. It’s a hallmark of Leibinger’s commitment to reliability and efficiency in industrial coding and marking.
