A good news for your production line, DSI introduces the Linx 9800 Series as a practical answer to manufacturers who need reliable coding but don’t want extra complexity in production.
Designed for continuous industrial use, the series provides CIJ printing reliability, printhead care automation, battery powered operation, user-friendly controls and flexible connectivity to keep coding consistent on busy lines.
In short, the Linx 9800 Series was developed to maximise uptime while simplifying everyday coding activities. Let’s check the complete details here.
DSI Introduces the Linx 9800 Series CIJ Printers to Meet the Demands of High-Speed Industrial Production
Nowadays, fast printing isn’t enough anymore. Manufacturers also need coding systems that are reliable, repeatable in quality, easier for operators to perform tasks and integrate easily with existing equipment.
In this case, Linx 9800 Series provides dependable performance with features that simplify coding and reduce avoidable intervention.
Expiry dates and batch codes to serial numbers, barcodes, QR codes, GS1 Data Matrix, logos, graphics and sequential numbering, the series meets marking requirements for different throughput levels.
Which means, printing text, symbols, dates, graphics, logos, multiple barcode formats and sequential numbering are possible for manufacturers.
Three Models for Diverse Production Needs
This time, DSI introduces the Linx 9800 Series with three models for higher throughput and demanding production environments. The comparison below can give you a quick overview before we get into more detail on each printer:
| Model | Printing Capability | Best Fit | Key Strength |
| Linx 9820 | Up to 3 lines | Higher-throughput general production | Flexible coding with easy operation |
| Linx 9830 | Up to 6 lines | Complex coding and demanding lines | Greater print capability with reduced maintenance |
| Linx 9840 | Up to 6 lines; super-fast tower printing | High-speed and cable/extrusion applications | Maximum speed and advanced performance |
-
Linx 9820
The Linx 9820 is a flexible option for manufacturers who need higher throughput but don’t want to complicate daily operation.
Up to three lines of print are supported and it is suited to food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, FMCG packaging electronics and automotive components applications.
-
Linx 9830
For production environments where more information-rich codes are needed the Linx 9830 increases capability to six lines.
It’s engineered for efficiency with maintenance demands kept in check on fast production lines and multiple packaging formats.
-
Linx 9840
The Linx 9840 is for the toughest applications in the range. In addition to up to six lines of print it supports super-fast tower printing at speeds of up to 10 m/s (cable, extrusion etc.).
These features make this model very relevant for cable, extrusion and other very high speed applications.
Technology Designed to Maximize Uptime
DSI introduces the Linx 9800 Series with features that help keep production moving, such as:
-
AutoFlush®
This technology uses an automatic start/stop cleaning cycle to help prevent nozzle blockages and the robust printhead protects critical components. Custom cleaning reminders can be set by running hours or calendar days.
-
PrintProtect®
Meanwhile, Linx PrintProtect® lets you continue printing for up to three minutes after a power interruption.
If the power doesn’t come back, the printer runs through its shutdown routine so blockage risk is reduced. The battery can also move lines for up to nine minutes without completely shutting down and restarting.
Simplifying Changeovers and Operator Activities
Fast changeovers require less manual input. In this series, the product picture selection feature allows operators to select the correct stored job visually.
There is a feature called Linx QuickSwitch® that updates messages from a barcode scanner or external device; up to 50 line settings can be stored. Meanwhile, Linx Message Studio™ lets you create, edit and transfer messages from a PC.
Moreover, the 7-inch full colour touchscreen uses icon led interface, quick language selection, guided maintenance wizards and prompted fields to minimise input errors and routine operation.
Supporting Integration with Production Systems
This time, DSI introduces the Linx 9800 Series as more than a stand-alone coder: it can be connected to production and IT systems via Ethernet and multiple communication protocols (REST interface included).
It also has Linx PrinterNet® which allows remote monitoring of printer status, production information, errors and fluid levels.
For code inspection, the optional Linx Iris® vision system can check if codes are present, readable, correctly positioned and aligned with selected quality criteria to reduce manual inspection.
Solutions for Various Industrial Sectors
Not sure if the product suits your field? Don’t worry, DSI introduces the Linx 9800 Series for coding cartons, flexible packaging, rigid plastics, glass bottles, metal cans, cables, extruded products and other industrial substrates.
The range can serve food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, FMCG, contract packing, electronics automotive components and other high-throughput sectors.
A broad ink portfolio is available for general-purpose, coloured, plastic substrate, process specific and security applications so that manufacturers can match coding fluids to substrate and process conditions.
DSI Provides Comprehensive Solutions and Service Support
Remember, choosing a printer is one part of building a reliable coding process. At DSI we help manufacturers determine line speed, code content, substrate, operating environment, integration requirements and maintenance needs before recommending a configuration.
In short, DSI introduces the Linx 9800 Series as a scalable CIJ platform for manufacturers who need reliable coding, easier operation and stronger production continuity. For additional guidance, see a complete list of continuous inkjet printers here!
