INK JET CODING THAT WON’T BREAK THE BUDGET

Whether you are a seasoned pro, or if you have wanted to start printing codes on your products, but felt your budget restricted you from doing so, the JetStream II offers a new level of economy. Operating costs are minimized with low solvent consumption. In addition, the JetStream II utilizes ink and make-up manufactured directly by Squid Ink, eliminating the layered costs incurred by most competitive CIJ manufacturers who don’t make their own inks. Any way you look at it, Squid Ink’s JetStream II provides users with the lowest total cost of ownership in its class.

MINIMIZED MAINTENANCE

The JetStream II is designed with the low maintenance features that users have come to rely on from Squid Ink. JetStream’s self-cleaning printhead with CleanJet™ maintenance routine allows quick and easy automatic start-up and shutdown. A simple press of a button commands the printer to go through a start-up cycle or flush the system for shutdown. When routine maintenance is required, components can be swapped out within minutes eliminating the need to purchase expensive filter and pump assemblies or schedule costly service calls. In addition, annual PMs can be made in minutes simply by swapping the entire ink system with an affordably priced refurbished system.

KEEP YOUR PRODUCTION RUNNING
