Speed without compromising quality:
- Dynamic Calibration™ adjusts jetting parameters automatically to help ensure high quality print
- Print from 1 to 5 lines of text at high speeds:
- Single line max speed = 293 m/min (960 ft/min)
- Dual line max speed = 146 m/min (480 ft/min)
- Tri-line max speed = 81 m/min (265 ft/min)
Engineered for extended runs; Uptime Advantage via:
- CleanFlow™ technology resists ink buildup that can cause ordinary inkjet printers to shut down
- Long Life CoreTM technology delivers five years of guaranteed operation between planned wear parts replacement (1)
- Internal pump means no external air, minimising potential for contaminants to enter ink stream
- Auto cleaning printhead for fast start-ups even after extended shutdowns
No mess, no waste fluid delivery:
- Make-up consumption as low as 2.4 ml/hour
- Smart Cartridge™ fluid delivery system to virtually eliminate spills and help ensure the correct fluids are being used
On-board Code Assurance to help prevent coding mistakes:
- Advanced software minimises and mistake-proofs operator inputs to the coding and marking process to help reduce errors
- Operator inputs are governed by rules which simplifies choices via field prompts, drop-down menus, calendar displays and predefined formats to help ensure correct entries
Built-in Productivity tools to keep your lines operational:
- Bright, 264 mm (10.4 in) touchscreen interface that provides real-time fluid levels, maintenance alerts, print jobs and other operational information
- Instant fault information is displayed to get your printer and line running again – fast
- Drill down into Printer Availability data to discover technical and operational causes of downtime, get to the root cause of downtime events and fix them for good
(1) Parts-only limited warranty prorated for the remaining life at time of warranty replacement

THE PATENTED CLEANFLOW™ PRINTHEAD
With a positive flow of filtered air, the patented CleanFlow™ printhead design reduces ink buildup that can cause ordinary inkjet printers to shut down. So you get reliably clear and consistent codes even at the end of long production runs.

DYNAMIC CALIBRATION™
Dynamic Calibration™ applies some of the industry’s most sophisticated measurements and controls to adjust jetting parameters automatically. As ambient temperature and humidity change throughout the day and across the seasons, you can count on the same great print quality — only from Videojet.

CLARiTY™ FOR THE RIGHT CODE
Our Videojet 1550, 1650 and 1650 UHS printers feature the innovative CLARiTY™ interface, designed to enforce your coding rules and help operators reliably select the right jobs and enter the right data. Watch to learn how CLARiTY™ can help deliver The Right Code for your company.
