Diagraph IJ4000 Series

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Diagraph IJ4000 Series is a high-resolution inkjet case coding solution designed for cost-effective, real-time printing of high-quality alphanumerics, barcodes, and graphics directly onto secondary packaging. It offers significant advantages over wax-based inkjet systems, labeling systems, and pre-printed boxes in terms of cost, maintenance, and print quality.
Comparison with Other Systems:
  • Wax-Based Inkjet: Requires higher consumable volumes and costs, frequent printhead replacements, and is prone to abrasion and smudging.
  • Labels: More expensive per mark, require frequent maintenance, and involve complex message changeovers.
  • Pre-Printed Boxes: Most expensive option, space-consuming, and inflexible to market changes.
Key Features:
  • Cost Efficiency: High-resolution inkjet printing is the most cost-effective solution, with significantly lower consumable costs compared to other technologies.
  • Print Consistency: Features like industry-leading ink throw distance, precision placement, and a unique ink delivery system ensure superior print consistency.
  • Design Flexibility: Allows for simple message editing, supports multiple printheads, and offers true Unicode capabilities for international use.
  • Low Maintenance: Features an automatic cleaning system, centralized ink delivery, and user-friendly maintenance access points, reducing downtime by 30%.
  • Durability: Stainless steel construction and a repairable printhead design provide a lifespan up to 10 years, five times longer than competitors.
Environmental Impact: The system reduces waste by eliminating the need for labels and uses environmentally friendly ink. It also has low energy consumption, mimicking natural processes.
Conclusion: The Diagraph IJ4000 is a customer-focused solution that meets current and future packaging challenges, offering superior performance, flexibility, and cost savings. It is used by major companies like Nestle and Kraft Heinz, highlighting its reliability and effectiveness in industrial environments.

Industry-Leading Print Consistency The Diagraph IJ4000 has several unique features that work together to ensure reliable high quality print – including crisp graphics and high-contrast barcodes. Precision Placement European GS1-128 barcode printed with an industry leading at 6 mm print throw distance. Industry-leading ink throw distance provides consistently higher quality print despite the irregularities of factory floor environments. It is a simple reality that cases are rarely perfectly square. Overfilling and irregularities in the distance between the print engine and carton can result in...

Unique Centralised Ink Delivery System The Diagraph IJ4000 features a unique Centralised Ink Delivery System that supplies ink to as many as four individual printheads on up to two production lines. This single access point for fluid monitoring and refilling simplifies system operator workflows and eliminates the risk ofrunning out ofink in individual heads. To work around this, many customers with competitor systems will change all of their ink bottles at the same time which causes a significant amount of ink waste. The Diagraph IJ4000 provides a clear flashing light indicator when ink levels are...

Industry Leading Durability Print engines are the component of inkjet systems that suffer the greatest wear and tear. Featuring stainless steel construction, a unique repairable (rather than disposable) design, a patented shock resistant design and automatic maintenance modules, the Trident print engines in the Diagraph IJ4000 provide industry-leading system durability. Rather than needing to be replaced every few months, the Trident print engines can be dissembled, ultrasonically cleaned and put back in use. This significantly reduces total cost of ownership and allows the Diagraph IJ4000 to...
