Original Press Release:
New From Diagraph® IJ3000(TM) Impulse Jet High-Resolution Ink Jet Printer With Automatic Cleaning System
St. Louis, MO...Diagraph introduces the latest generation in its IJ/3000 line of large character ink jet printers-the IJ/3000(TM) Impulse Jet. Like the original IJ/3000, it offers unsurpassed "smart" features: touch screen controls, worldwide networking connectivity, and around-the-clock monitoring and diagnostic functions. But the new Impulse Jet model also provides high-resolution printheads and automatic cleaning system.
The field-proven high-resolution IJ352 printhead of the IJ/3000 Impulse Jet makes it the ideal choice for printing reliable, verifiable bar codes and high quality logos and graphics in sizes from 1/2" to 2" tall on corrugated cartons.
The new IJ352 automatic cleaning printhead feature allows the operator to program the Impulse Jet printer to self-clean at any desired times on any selected days. At the programmed times, a pump and vacuum device is automatically activated to remove
accumulated contaminants from the printhead and transport them to a reservoir that can be emptied and disposed of as needed.
The IJ/3000 Impulse Jet allows users the flexibility of multi-printhead performance. It is engineered to drive either the new high-resolution Impulse Jet printheads or Diagraph's patented Integrated Valve printheads, which are standard equipment on IJ/3000 IV ink jet systems.
The touch screen allows operators to control the system with the touch of a finger and enjoy previously unimagined levels of convenience and productivity. The graphical user interface visually displays menus and commands so operators can enter messages and codes in minutes. And batch codes can be changed during a run, without interrupting production.
The IJ/3000 Impulse Jet has a built-in high-speed Ethernet connection that permits networking with another printer on the other side of the factory, or on the other side of the world. For multi-location manufacturing customers with constantly changing batch codes, this smart feature is invaluable for making changes and checking status. The system is designed to work with Web browsers (including Netscape and Internet Explorer), existing local area networks (device net, arc net, etc.), or wireless (radio frequency) using off-the-shelf converters.
Another smart feature is 24/7 monitoring and diagnostics. Operating on PCs, PLCs, and LANs, it can be used to obtain up-to-the-minute system status. The IJ/3000 Impulse Jet can even be programmed to monitor ink levels and provide an alert when the supply needs to be replenished.
Like all Diagraph ink jet printing systems, the IJ/3000 Impulse Jet is built to last, with minimal maintenance, even in hostile industrial environments. It provides reliable performance in all kinds of conditions-hot, cold, wet and dry.
