Videojet Technologies has introduced the Videojet 1880 C continuous inkjet printer, a new industrial coding solution designed to help manufacturers improve reliability in pigmented inkjet printing applications while reducing cleaning requirements, service interruptions and unexpected downtime.
The newly launched printer is built for both hard and soft pigmented applications, providing manufacturers with bold, high-contrast codes while maintaining an operating and maintenance experience similar to dye-based printing systems. The company said the solution is designed to address common challenges associated with pigmented continuous inkjet (CIJ) technology, helping production teams maintain efficient operations.
Pigmented inkjet coding is widely used across industries where high-visibility markings are required on products and packaging. With the introduction of the 1880 C, Videojet is targeting manufacturers that need dependable coding performance for a variety of materials while minimizing operational disruptions.
Videojet 1880 C Designed for Diverse Manufacturing Applications
The Videojet 1880 C is designed to support coding requirements across multiple sectors, including beverage production, personal care packaging, industrial manufacturing and flexible material applications.
The company stated that the printer enables manufacturers to apply consistent, high-contrast codes without adding unnecessary complexity to daily operations. The solution is intended to support production, maintenance and engineering teams by providing a more streamlined approach to in-line printing with pigmented inks.
“Videojet Technologies today announced the introduction of the Videojet 1880 C continuous inkjet printer, a new coding solution designed to help manufacturers reduce the cleaning, service calls and unpredictable downtime often associated with pigmented CIJ printing. Built for hard and soft pigmented applications, the 1880 C delivers bold, high-contrast codes while offering operation and maintenance similar to a dye-based printer.”
Manufacturers often rely on coding systems to apply important product information, including identification marks, traceability details and packaging codes. Reliable printer performance is essential for maintaining production schedules and meeting quality requirements across fast-moving manufacturing environments.
Reducing Maintenance Concerns in Pigmented Inkjet Printing
Pigmented CIJ printing provides advantages in applications where stronger contrast and visibility are required, but maintenance demands can create challenges for production facilities. Videojet’s latest printer is designed to help address these concerns by reducing the operational burden typically associated with pigmented ink systems.
The company highlighted that the 1880 C offers manufacturers a practical option for implementing pigmented CIJ coding while limiting maintenance-related interruptions that can affect productivity.
From beverage cans and personal care packaging to industrial products and flexible materials, the Videojet 1880 C helps manufacturers apply reliable, high-contrast codes without adding unnecessary complexity to daily operation. It gives production, maintenance and engineering teams a practical path to in-line printing of pigmented CIJ codes with fewer equipment maintenance concerns that can slow production.
Supporting Manufacturing Efficiency Through Advanced Coding Technology
As manufacturers continue to focus on improving efficiency, reducing downtime and maintaining consistent production quality, coding and marking technologies remain a critical part of industrial operations.
Videojet’s 1880 C continuous inkjet printer expands the company’s portfolio of coding solutions by focusing on reliability and ease of use for manufacturers working with challenging pigmented applications. The product is positioned as a tool to help businesses maintain productivity while meeting the need for clear, durable and high-contrast product identification.
The launch reflects continued investment in manufacturing technologies that support faster production environments and help companies reduce disruptions caused by equipment maintenance requirements. For manufacturers operating across food, beverage, consumer goods and industrial sectors, dependable coding solutions remain essential for efficient supply chain operations.
