The Squid Ink Streamline 5 CIJ printing system is designed to print superior quality small characters on various substrates: porous, non-porous, smooth, textured, curved, concave, and more. Printing up to 5 lines of text, the Streamline offers a reliable yet cost-effective solution for virtually any small character, primary package coding application.
Streamline 5 offers users the latest in today’s technology. Unlike any other CIJ printer on the market, Streamline 5 does not require a built-in display screen. This printer operates with a wireless or wired touchscreen tablet running Squid Ink’s powerful Orion software, allowing users the option of controlling their printers on the production floor, or networking multiple systems from one central location. One tablet may be used to communicate with multiple Streamline printers or any other Squid Ink case coding printer using the Orion software platform.
Also, the Streamline 5 is designed with the low maintenance features that users have come to rely on from Squid Ink. Streamline’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 a 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. Also, annual PMs can be made in minutes by swapping the entire ink system with an affordably priced refurbished system.
