Videojet 1580 C Soft-Pigment Inkjet Coding Machine
Continuous inkjet printers 
- The 1580 C is a dedicated soft-pigmented inkjet printer that performs and behaves like a standard dye-based printer
- It delivers industry-first performance using soft-pigmented contrast inks, providing superior uptime and enabling you to achieve your marking and coding objectives both now and in the future
- The 1580 C has similar maintenance requirements and running time to a standard CIJ printer, due to design innovations in our hydraulics, printhead, and cartridge
- Based on our tried and trusted Videojet 1580 inkjet printer platform, the
1580 C has a similar design, with many of the same great features - The 1580 C is one of the simplest CIJ printers to operate and maintain, and was designed to print consistently high-quality codes with strong contrast

Usage Areas of Videojet 1580 C Soft-Pigment Inkjet Coding Machine
Videojet 1580C inkjet coder is capable of producing high-contrast marks, which is particularly useful for printing on dark surfaces or for applications where the print must be highly legible under various conditions. Black ink is the most popular for Videojet 1580+ industrial inkjet printer Pigmented inks contain particles that give the ink its colour, as opposed to dye-based inks where the colorant is fully dissolved in the carrier liquid.
1580C Soft-Pigment Inkjet Coder performs and behaves like a dye-based printer. Innovations in hydraulics, printhead, and cartridge designs bring running time and maintenance intervals to the same level as a standard continuous inkjet (CIJ) printer. It has been specifically designed to deliver codes with consistent quality and contrast that remain readable and don’t fade over time.
Soft-pigment inkjet coders are essential for production lines, offering high-speed and precise coding of information such as serial numbers, production and expiration dates, and QR codes for product tracking. These capabilities optimise production processes and enhance traceability, making these machines indispensable in industries such printing on packaged food, beverage marking, dairy products etc.
The Videojet 1580 C’s printhead and ink cartridges have been designed to minimise ink clogging and build-up, reducing your cleaning needs. Compared to other contrast printers, less fluid will be wasted while cleaning the 1580 C. The Videojet 1580 C soft-pigment inkjet coder also utilises our innovative single-service module, which reduces the frequency of service interventions and the amount of replacement parts required for the printer, while also limiting the waste of hazardous material.

Benefits
Behaves like a standard CIJ printer
- The 1580 C has the same cleaning cycles and preventive maintenance requirements as a dye-based printer, and uses similar filters as the rest of the Videojet CIJ range
- Planned maintenance can take place every 5000 hours – using soft-pigmented inks doesn’t require more frequent maintenance
- A new, patented cartridge design helps reduce common problems such as pigment settling, which can create blockage and lead to printhead clogging
- A new design helps the printhead to stay clean longer, reducing production downtime and allowing for longer time between cleanings
Maintains code quality and contrast
- The 1580 C was specifically designed to print codes with consistent quality and contrast that remain readable and don’t fade over time
- With a new formula that reduces the settling rate, our soft-pigmented inks have been designed to deliver more uptime
- The conical mixer tank design improves ink recirculation, reducing pigment settling
- Videojet Dynamic Calibration automatically maintains superior print quality, for optimum uptime even under changing environmental conditions
Easy to maintain
- The Videojet SIMPLICiTY™ user interface delivers code assurance out of the box, with error-proofing rules that define editable fields, permissible data types, date range restrictions, and more, greatly reducing printer interactions and potential user errors
- The Videojet OPTIMiZE tool allows the 1580 C to assess a variety of printer parameters, helping to manage the ink and make-up usage, calculate future fluids forecast, and determine power wastage
Future-proof connectivity
- The 1580 C is ready to meet modern printing challenges and whatever the future needs of Industry 4.0 are likely to demand
- An integrated Wi-Fi antenna allows the printer to connect to an internal network and have greater mobility, with no need for LAN cables or hard wiring
- Webserver capability allows operators to access printers via supported web browsers on host computers, with up to five web server sessions allowed for each printer
