Linx Ink Jet Printheads


The Linx printhead is the cleanest, simplest and most robust design in the market.

All pipes, wires and other critical components are hermetically sealed inside the Linx printhead thus protecting them from potential damage and the environment.

Software-managed flushing routines clean the head on shutdown in readiness for a clean start every time, even after extended shutdowns. Ink viscosity is continually measured in the printhead and automatically adjusted by the printer, thus reducing manual intervention and downtime on your production line.
