Videojet 2380 Large Character Inkjet Case Printer

Large Character Printers Deliver Durable, High-Quality Codes

The Videojet 2380 inkjet printer offers the complete solution for marking cases and cartons. Modular and easy to integrate, it delivers worry-free operation. This large character marking system is designed for operation and maintenance by any user with minimal training or experience.

Patented micro-purge technology automatically performs routine printhead cleaning, helping to ensure consistent print quality with less mess or maintenance.

The Videojet 2380 delivers fast start-up and prints durable, high-resolution text, logos, and bar codes, ready to meet the demands of the distribution chain.

Key Features

Ability to Use Two Printheads: The Videojet 2380 allows coding of up to 5.5inch (140mm) high print spaces, or coding on two sides of a box. Two printheads can be easily integrated, with no additional hardware needed, for a low-cost, future-proof solution.

Embedded Connectivity and Compatibility Protocols: The system offers USB, VideojetConnect, and ZPL emulation.

Bar Code Scanner: The HMI easily integrates with a bar code scanner for rapid job selection and data entry.

Wi-Fi Connectivity: Wi-Fi is embedded in the printer, for remote access and analytical capabilities.

Self-Cleaning Printhead: The system can be programmed to clean the printhead at specific intervals without stopping the production line.

Air Knife: This helps to clean the printhead nozzle plate, supporting long production runs.

Gyroscopic Sensor: This monitors the printer mounting angle in real-time, helping to prevent ink leaks. It also detects and records external impact signals.

SIMPLICiTY Interface: An intuitive, easy-to-use HMI that offers code assurance and guides you every step of the way, greatly reducing printer interactions and potential user errors.

Take Control: Manage up to two printheads with the same touchscreen.

Easy Upgrade: Existing CLARiTY print jobs are 100% compatible with the Videojet 2380 and can be downloaded via USB.

Ink Recycle Feature: Costs are reduced, because ink used in printhead cleaning is reclaimed and reused by the printer.

Contrast Adjuster: Allows the contrast density to be reduced, enabling more prints per ink canister.

Robust Printhead: Optimal uptime delivered through proven print technology.

Benefits

Two printheads can be easily integrated, with no additional hardware needed, allowing coding of up to 5.5 inch (140mm) high print spaces, or coding on two sides of a box.

The system offers USB, VideojetConnect, and ZPL emulation.

A bar code scanner can be easily integrated with the HMI for rapid job selection and data entry.

Wi-Fi connectivity is embedded in the printer, for remote access and analytical capabilities.

Consistent, Reliable High-Quality Codes

Patented, automated micro-purge system can be programmed to clean the printhead nozzles at specific intervals, helping to prevent blockages without stopping the production line.

Air knife helps to clean the printhead nozzle plate, supporting long production runs.

Gyroscopic sensor monitors the printer mounting angle in real-time, helping to prevent ink leaks, and detects and records external impact signals.

Easy-to-Use Marking System

Intuitive, easy-to-use touchscreen HMI offers code assurance and guides you every step of the way, greatly reducing printer interactions and potential user errors.

Touchscreen user interface offers onboard job editing, can be placed in an optimal position for the operator, and manages up to two printheads.

Existing CLARiTY print jobs are 100% compatible with the Videojet 2380 and can be downloaded via USB, for easy upgrading.

Low-cost return line filter changes the associated ink-cup cleaning cycle from daily to monthly, reducing maintenance, while wiping the printhead surface is the only daily maintenance recommended.

Expertly Designed for the Way You Work

The Videojet 2380 is made of durable 304-grade stainless steel.

Ink used in the micro-purge printhead cleaning system is reclaimed and reused by the printer, reducing running costs.

A contrast adjuster allows the contrast density to be reduced, enabling more prints per ink canister.

The robust printhead uses proven print technology to deliver optimal uptime.
