Inkjet Printer Coding & Marking Solutions

For over 40 years, Hitachi has developed and produced high-performance inkjet printers based on the well-proven Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) principle for industrial marking. Hitachi Industrial IJ printers are high-speed printers adopting a non-contact printing method, ideal for a wide range of applications. They are capable of applying best before dates, logos, barcodes, lot numbers and data matrix codes, which makes the new UX-Series the perfect solution for both complex and standard applications. High Reliability Hitachi Products are renowned for being extremely reliable in harsh environments....

INTUITIVE PRINT CONTROL INTELLIGENT FLUID CARTRIDGES DURABLE PRINTHEAD RELIABLE CIRCULATION SYSTEM SIMPLE FLUID MANAGEMENT The Hitachi UX Series is the clear leader for your non-contact printing needs The UX Series improves the existing, reliable Hitachi continuous inkjet products and is versatile enough to provide industry-leading marking on food, beverage and dairy products, health and beauty products and a variety of containers from lip balm tubes to bag printing and oversized PVC piping.

Simplicity Mess-free, Mistake-proof Fluid Refills Intelligent fluid cartridges reduce the possibility of hazardous fluid spills during refill. Shaped differently, the ink and make-up cartridges are easily identifiable as well as sized to fit in each respective receptacle. RFID Recognition** Error reduction is key to increased uptime and that’s why the UX Series now features RFID* recognition for ink and make-up replacement. A quick scan of each bottle allows the system to identify the fluid in question and instruct the operator based on compatibility. * Radio-frequency identification ** Not available...

User Login By scanning the IC Card, only the registered user can login quickly without entering a password. Each user operation can be limited to prevent human error. Print data selection...

Intuitive Machine Interface Intuitive User Interface A 10.4-inch TFT LCD touch-panel screen provides a wide, easy-to-see viewing angle and intuitive operation. In addition, when changing print messages, a preview function allows the operator to verify on-screen what message will be changed to help avoid erroneous printing. On-Screen Guidance The UX Series features an integrated, easy to access troubleshooting guide, helping operators easily find answers to common issues and reducing downtime due to simple problems. Keep and Collect your Message Messages can be easily backed up onto a USB flash...

Convenient Remote Management Ethernet is a standard feature on UX machines.* In addition, open network is supported, allowing easier system integration. Collective management via a host system enables two or more devices to be easily networked. Print Error Recognition The Hitachi Vision System has been optimised to work with inkjet typical dot matrix characters. It verifies the content of each printed message instantaneously while allowing for typical CIJ character variations, assuring an optimal level of print quality. Size variations Misreadable distortions Density variations Readable distortions...

Reliability Ink Circulation Unit At the heart of the UX Series inkjet printer is a diaphragm based circulation system. Unique to Hitachi, the UX’s diaphragm system dramatically improves reliability, leading to a reduction in total cost of ownership. A dedicated viscometer gives a true measure of the ink’s viscosity further increasing reliability and uptime. Reduced Make-up Consumption and Running Cost Motor Speed Control Function suppresses makeup evaporation and offers industry-leading level of make-up consumption. The premium model UX-E achieves a consumption of only 2.5 ml/h thanks to Hitachi’s...
