Leibinger is not just in Las Vegas to mark its 75th anniversary. The purpose is to commemorate a fresh approach that simplifies, makes printing more environmentally friendly, and offers cost-effective solutions for businesses in the United States and globally. How does it achieve this? With IQJET’s four essential components:
1. SMART.EFFICIENCY – a system that minimizes operating costs. That’s why it has the lowest consumption on the market, ~ 2.7 cc/h for MEK inks. It prevents unnecessary waste and production scrap. Ink cartridges are emptied down to the last drop and do not require separate disposal (unlike many conventional CIJ systems). More sustainable and cheaper to run.
2. IQPRINT – technology to prevent expensive downtime. Most printers need cleaning from time to time, so the packaging line has to stop. IQPRINT is a unique feature that removes the need for cleaning by keeping unused ink in a 100% airtight system. No clogging, no cleaning, no expensive downtime.
3. SMART.OS – keep your labor costs low. Numerous interfaces including OPC UA and an integrated PLC ensure IQJET can be installed easily into any packaging line. And the intuitive operation via a 10” touch display and drag & drop functions means it can be mastered by anyone. Reduce installation time, training time and management time.
4. SMART.CARE – virtually eliminate maintenance costs IQJET’s SMART.CARE function means maintenance is free for five years. This is down to durable, high-quality components, most of which are manufactured in Leibinger’s own factory, and a unique design that minimizes ‘wear and tear’. For example, there is no need for a continuously running feed pump. Worry free – and virtually maintenance free.
Four aspects of the new IQJET that are designed to keep quality up and your running costs down – while also supporting your sustainability objectives.
Also, Leibinger wants to show a real, measurable saving – which is why it has an operating cost calculator ready for visitors in Las Vegas. Take the example of an FMCG producer with 4,000 production hours/year and 400 prints/min per with 20 characters/print each. In this scenario, the IQJET can save close to $10,000 in pure operating costs over five years compared to conventional CIJ printers. And that’s without the productivity savings.
