Comparing LEIBINGER to Conventional CIJ Printers

LEIBINGER CIJ Printers Typical CIJ Experience
✓ Always ready for production
Sealed-nozzle technology helps prevent ink from drying and enables fast startup, even after extended stops.
✕ Production waits for the printer
Startup procedures and cleaning may be required before production can resume.
✓ Greater production flexibility
Long maintenance intervals allow service to be scheduled around production.
✕ Higher maintenance demands
Routine service and replacement components can interrupt production schedules.
✓ Less operator intervention
Designed to reduce routine cleaning, flushing and printer management.
✕ More operator attention
Cleaning, restarting, and maintenance can pull operators away from production.
✓ Lower total cost of ownership
Reduced maintenance, system wear and solvent consumption help lower lifetime operating costs.
✕ More than the purchase price
Consumables, maintenance, replacement parts and energy add to lifetime cost.

For anyone who's looking for CIJ inkjet printing, I would definitely recommend LEIBINGER as a solution.
Gary Fogg Maintenance Manager Four Peaks Brewing Co.

Keeping Production Running Smoothly at Four Peaks Brewing

Four Peaks Brewing Co. is an Arizona-based high-volume craft brewery known for its quality and consistency.

Challenges

Every can, bottle, and carton must be properly coded before it can leave the facility, so reliable coding equipment is critical to keeping production moving.

The brewery’s previous continuous inkjet printers frequently clogged because of their unsealed nozzles. Restarting the printers required extensive cleaning and solvent use, and equipment issues could result in three to four days of downtime.

Solution

LEIBINGER continuous inkjet printers integrated across can, bottle, and carton packaging operations.

Outcome

✓ Near-zero coding downtime after implementing Leibinger printers
✓ Fewer service calls, previously needed every 2–3 weeks
✓ Improved production uptime and packaging line efficiency
✓ Reduced solvent use since printers no longer need frequent cleaning
✓ Faster, more reliable startups with less operator intervention
✓ Greater repeatability and reliability, even in harsh, demanding brewery conditions

From Manual Date Stamping to Accurate Automated Egg Coding

This customer is one of the largest egg processors in the Midwest, supplying millions of eggs to the nation daily.

Challenges

The egg processor relied on mechanical date-stamping equipment to print required codes on retail cartons. The contact-based process required daily operator attention and created ongoing productivity challenges.

Equipment repairs caused significant downtime, while changing print information was time-consuming and required manual intervention. With millions of eggs moving through the operation, the processor needed a more reliable and efficient way to ensure every carton received an accurate, readable code.

Solution

LEIBINGER continuous inkjet printers integrated into high-volume egg carton packaging lines for automated date and product coding.

Outcome

✓ Virtually eliminated repair-related downtime for a more reliable coding process
✓ Faster print message changes, reducing time spent on manual adjustments
✓ Automated date, time, shift, and expiration updates for greater coding accuracy
✓ Reduced operator intervention throughout daily production
✓ Improved print accuracy and readability across egg carton packaging
✓ Greater production efficiency and reliability in a high-volume operation

Turning Costly Coding Downtime into Reliable Dairy & Juice Production

This customer is a well-known Midwestern dairy and juice producer.

Challenges

Unreliable inkjet printers were creating frequent production disruptions and costing the producer thousands of dollars each day.

With high production volumes and short shelf lives, the company needed a coding solution that could reliably keep pace with production while reducing maintenance, cleaning, and unplanned downtime.

Solution

LEIBINGER JET3 PRO continuous inkjet printers integrated into dairy and juice production lines for reliable, high-volume date coding.

Outcome

✓ Improved production uptime by replacing unreliable inkjet printing equipment
✓ Reduced maintenance and cleaning with Leibinger’s automatic sealing printhead
✓ Lower operating costs with no system flush and minimal solvent required for cleaning
✓ Simplified preventive maintenance without expensive sub-assemblies to replace
✓ Easier operation with a user-friendly interface for plant personnel
✓ Faster-than-expected ROI, leading the producer to accelerate replacement of its remaining inkjet printers
