The Hitachi UX-P is a pigment-based continuous inkjet printer designed for high contrast colour coding on dark and challenging substrates. It uses opaque pigmented inks to produce bright, clearly defined marks where standard dye-based inks would lack visibility.
Available in multiple ink colours, the UX-P enables manufacturers to differentiate products, batches, or lines while maintaining strong legibility and durability. It prints text, logos, and codes onto plastics, metals, cables, cartons, and coated surfaces, making it suitable for automotive, industrial, and consumer applications. With IP65 protection, a touchscreen interface, and network connectivity, the UX-P integrates into high speed production environments where colour clarity, traceability, and consistent print performance are critical.
This integrated cleaning station flushes, cleans, and dries the printhead with a single, automatic cycle. The sealed reservoir eliminates the need to expose solvent to the manufacturing floor and captures all solvent for safe and easy disposal.
The Hitachi UXP Self Cleaning Station performs a complete clean in seven minutes, preventing solvent drips and protecting operators and the environment. It automates the cleaning process, eliminates manual intervention, saves production time, and ensures safe, efficient operation with minimal disruption.
Hitachi Ink Guard on the UXP enhances coding by monitoring ink condition and usage, preventing issues like contamination and early failure. It provides corrective guidance when problems arise, reducing troubleshooting time and ensuring consistent print quality. This leads to
fewer maintenance stops and reliable performance during lengthy production runs, making the coding process more efficient.
The Hitachi UXP features automatic self-diagnosis and intelligent start-up routines, ensuring the printer is always ready. It checks nozzle and system health before each run, triggering automatic cleaning as needed. This proactive approach reduces manual prep, prevents misprints, minimizes unexpected stops, and enhances production efficiency with fewer faults and quicker issue resolution.
These are the key reasons the Hitachi UXP delivers reliable, compliant coding across demanding production environments.
The Hitachi UXP CIJ delivers consistent, repeatable coding even at high line speeds. Stable character formation reduces rejects and supports reliable traceability across production runs.
The UXP is designed to minimise operator exposure through sealed ink systems and guided maintenance. Controlled ink handling helps reduce long-term solvent- related risks on the line.
Codes are printed exactly as specified, from batch numbers to expiry dates. Precise placement and consistency support compliance and prevent costly misprints.
Sharp, high-contrast codes remain legible on a wide range of materials. This improves inspection, scanning, and overall code reliability.
An intuitive interface and guided prompts simplify setup and maintenance. Operators can manage the printer quickly without specialist training.
The UXP uses a modular design, allowing components to be replaced independently. This avoids the cost and downtime associated with replacing a single expensive printer core.
