The combination of clean start and clean stop features automates regular printhead cleaning, increasing uptime and reducing maintenance. This printer is also incredibly easy to use, with an instinctive, drop-down menu operator interface and WYSIWYG message creation and editing with a large, well-lit display and membrane touch keypad.

With the introduction of the 43s printer, Videojet now offers customers a choice between pump-driven hydraulics and the air-driven systems of our traditional small character printers. For customers with either no shop air or poor air quality, or a need for moving the printing equipment around their facility, the 43s provides an excellent solution.
