Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a UV inkjet coder that needs no scheduled maintenance?
Yes. The Norwix iM2 and iM4 use a single-pump ink system with no valves or filters to service, so they run continuously without a maintenance schedule, which is where their low total cost of ownership comes from.
Can an inkjet printhead be mounted upside down or sideways?
The Norwix can. Its gravity-independent ink delivery lets the head mount vertically, horizontally, or inverted without de-priming, which matters on bottling lines, pharma packaging, and tight machine frames.
What is the difference between the Norwix iM2 and iM4?
Print width. The iM2 covers 2.13 inches for addressing, security codes, and tight spaces; the iM4 covers 4.26 inches for full data matrices and larger marks. Ink system, resolution, and speed are the same.
What applications use a 2 inch or 4 inch UV inkjet?
Direct mail addressing, security coding, bottling and contact lens lines, pharmaceutical packaging, and any line where the mark must cure instantly on a coated or non-porous surface.
