Hassle-free industrial marking

In many factories, problems don’t stem from a lack of technology, but from the complexity of day-to-day use. Too many interactions with the printer, service procedures that are difficult to schedule, and frequent operator changes can turn marking into a weak link in the production line.

The Videojet 1280 was designed specifically for this type of environment. As a CIJ printer for marking variable data directly onto products or packaging, it helps maintain a stable process without placing an unnecessary burden on operators.

Easy to use for any operator

The SIMPLICiTY™ interface, featuring an 8-inch touchscreen, is designed with intuitive logic similar to that of a tablet. Operators can quickly select messages, check settings, and minimize the risk of incorrect changes.

Simplified maintenance and improved uptime

The Videojet SmartCell™ module consolidates service components into a single, easy-to-replace unit, making maintenance more predictable. In practice, this means fewer unplanned downtime incidents and clearer maintenance scheduling.

Clean consumables and better control over marking

The Videojet Smart Cartridge™ system reduces fluid leaks and mishandling, contributing to a cleaner work environment. At the same time, the printer can produce clear, consistent marks, including linear and 2D codes, at speeds of up to 162 m/min.

Who is it suitable for?

  • manufacturers who need reliable marking on the production line
  • factories seeking to reduce operator errors
  • processes where traceability and clear markings are essential
  • industrial environments that prefer equipment that is easy to operate and maintain
