Mid-Range CIJ Printer
How it works

Built around your product

The CJ-520 adds print lines, speed and connectivity. It suits food and beverage lines that run two or three shifts and need the printer to take job data from line software.

Ink is pumped under pressure through a nozzle and broken into a steady stream of droplets by a piezo crystal. Selected drops receive an electrical charge and are deflected by a high-voltage plate onto the product to form characters; uncharged drops return to the gutter and are recycled. Solvent make-up keeps viscosity constant across temperature changes.

Key features

  • Up to five lines of print
  • Long service interval with a single service module
  • Automatic viscosity control across temperature
  • Remote monitoring over Ethernet
Print lines1–5
Character height1.2–12 mm
Max line speed280 m/min (single line)
Nozzle size60 µm (50 / 70 µm optional)
Machine cycle

Process sequence

Start

Automatic nozzle flush and jet alignment bring the printer to ready.

Sense

A product sensor triggers the print; the encoder matches character width to speed.

Print

Charged drops fly 5–15 mm to the surface and dry in about a second.

Recycle

Unused ink returns through the gutter to the mixing tank.

Shut down

The printhead cleans and seals itself for a clean next start.

Questions

How many lines can a CIJ printer print?
Typically one to five lines depending on model and character height. More lines reduce maximum line speed because each character needs more drops.
What maintenance does CIJ need?
Top up ink and make-up from sealed cartridges, keep the printhead clean, and change filters at the service interval — usually once a year on modern machines.
Can CIJ print on dark surfaces?
Yes, with pigmented white, yellow or silver inks. Pigmented models use an agitated ink system to stop the pigment settling.
