Month: June 2020

Have you ever been in this situation, that you need to apply another type of ink and solvent in the printer, but don’t know how to erase the previous liquids data and input the new ones.

Let’s take Videojet 1510 continuous printer as example, to update ink parameters from V461-D to V410-D.

1. Install the new ink and solvent cartridges
2. Input password
3. Check
4. Update ink parameters

Let’s start cracking. If you still have any other questions, please feel free to contact us.

I’m not going to lie, delivery of CIJ liquids such as ink & solvent is complicated, though we can provide necessary documents such as MSDS & SGS to shipping agents, not all of them are willing to carry black/pigment ink, let alone transparent solvent.

Due to the rocket high delivery fee increase recently, we recommended a customer to deliver his liquids by sea, for his shipment is around 1 cube meter, so the only shortcoming of sea shipping is long delivery time. There is little option left for us to choose, under the deliver situation in mid May. However, in early June, the ship arrived on time, custom clearance takes a long time without exact timeframe. I called shipping agent to check with latest update, but was told to wait every time.

In mid June, my customer contacted me that as business is re-opening in his place, he needed the ink urgently & can’t wait for custom clearance anymore. So we decided to deliver a new parcel of ink & solvent either by air or express, not as much as 1 cube meter, but enough for him to continue business for a while. After an arduous negotiation with the courier agent, we finally managed to put the CIJ liquids on board & customer just informed me he received the parcel.

Please think before purchasing a Hitachi CIJ printer, because it’s too robust and doesn’t need your attention.

Hitachi CIJ printers are always renowned for their robustness, but how exactly robust are they? Please check on below picture. The HX model is still working without any problem. We maintain this printer only once in a while, it never troubles us much and just keep working without failing.

For those who are passionate in finding out what’s inside a Hitachi CIJ printer, you will find it’s so minimal, with minimum spare arts and consume minimum liquids. It’s like the Hitachi printer just want to quietly inkjet, no attention is required.

So think before you purchasing a Hitachi printer, it will make you re-think what’s the right retirement time frame for a CIJ printer.

This is really the key to open the Markem Imaje continuous inkjet printer, which is not a rarely seen spare part for technicians. However, without this key, we are not able to open the printer body chamber nor check the inside.

So without further duo, when we go out and maintain the MI printers, remember to bring 1 piece of this key with you. The key is not exclusive to a certain MI printer, so you could apply it on all the MI you are looking after.

It’s an important key for Markem Imaje printers, but thank goodness one is enough.

As the delivery fee goes rocket high in the last 2 months, it’s getting more & more difficult to import bottled compatible liquids. The delivery fee is always extra high for liquids, and the recent lack of flights makes it worse. However, business continues dispite all the difficulties, importing liquids in bulk package, say 15 ltr or 25 ltr per barrel, will be a good idea. Then comes another problem for Linx bottle, how to seal the bottle to prevent liquids from splitting.

Here is the useful heat sealing tool for it. It’s operate by manual, and seals the round card board to bottle with heat. You could source it by yourself. 🙂
