If you need a small character ink jet printer, the Videojet® Excel 170i might be just what you seek. Videojet has been a leading manufacturer of coding equipment for decades, and this printer is just one of the many excellent coders to consider. Here are a few reasons why this specific model might be a good fit for your company.
1. The Videojet® Excel 170i Offers Multiple Printing Options
While some companies only need to print a single line of letters and numbers on their products or packages, many firms need to print multiple lines of alphanumerics. The Videojet® Excel 170i can print up to three lines of numbers and letters as well as custom logos and bar codes. You also can store 32 single-line messages, 32 twin-line messages and 32 tri-line messages with a character count of 62 characters per line. If you need more storage, this can be purchased separately.
2. Adjusts To Your Production Speed
No matter what type of production speed at your plant, the Videojet® Excel 170i is likely to be able to match that speed. This coder can work with uniform, intermittent and variable production speeds, keeping your line running as smoothly as possible. In fact, this coder has a print rate of up to 1,832 characters per second, depending on which font you choose to use.
3. Multiple Surface Printing Options
Our clients come from many different industries and need coding for a variety of products. Some products have a smooth surface, while others are porous or even curved. The Videojet® Excel 170i works well on virtually any surface, including curved, textured and ribbed surfaces as well as porous or non-porous. Whether you produce beverages or computer cables or something else entirely, the Videojet® Excel 170i probably will work with your product or packaging.
4. You Can Purchase This Coder At PrintJet For Less
At PrintJet, we sell a variety of refurbished coders, including the Videojet® Excel 170i. Buying a refurbished coder is far less expensive than purchasing a new coder. Currently, our sale price for the Videojet® Excel 170i is $3,500 with accessories and $2,500 without the accessories. All of our refurbished Videojet printers include a six-month warranty.
If you are concerned about purchasing a refurbished piece of coding equipment, it might help to learn a little bit about our comprehensive refurbishment process. Each refurbished coder undergoes a six-step process which begins as our team fully disassembles the printer. At this point, the pneumatics, umbilcals, hydraulics and the printhead are completely refurbished.
Upon completion of this task, the team at PrintJet will evaluate all electronic parts of the coder. Once this has occurred, the printer cabinet will be fully detailed and then we can reassemble the printer. From here, we calibrate the printer and test the system for 24 hours. If all is well, the machine is cleared to be shipped to the customer.
After you’ve purchased your refurbished Videojet® Excel 170i, don’t forget to think about PrintJet whenever you need inks and fluids. We formulate alterative inks and make-up for virtually all makes and models of coding equipment, including the Videojet® Excel 170i. Our inks are substantially less expensive than OEM inks as well as most companies that produce generic inks. In addition, we offer only the highest quality inks and fluids, which reduces printhead maintenance.
We understand the complexity of coding, and have created inks for almost every type of coding situation. This includes creating inks suitable for use on food, beverage and pharmaceutical products as well a myriad of manufacturing firms. If we don’t have precisely the type of ink you need, we usually can formulate a custom ink to your specifications.
