MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY

Its self-cleaning printhead with CleanJet maintenance routine allows quick and easy automatic start-up and shut down. A simple press of a button commands the printer togo through a start-up cycle or to 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.Changing fluids in the Streamline 5 is a simple, fast and clean process. Clean cartridges of ink and makeup can be replaced in seconds without having to stop production. In addition, chips orRFID tags are not used to lock users into a fluids hostage situation with the printer manufacturer. As a proven ink manufacturer, Squid Ink offers a comprehensive range of inks for a variety of applications and industry requirements.
