XiJet FN Series Thermal Inkjet Printer
A fast, cartridge-based thermal inkjet system built for mail addressing, coding, and variable data printing on porous and non-porous substrates.
IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU?
A good fit if…
- Print envelopes, postcards, or mailers at low to high speeds
- Want fast cartridge changes with minimal daily maintenance
- Need to print on both porous and coated or non-porous stock
- Run variable data — addresses, barcodes, personalized content
- Want a modular system you can scale as volume grows
- Want an inkjet system that can be mounted to conveyors and other equipment
Consider other options if you…
- Need full-color output (the FN Series is monochrome and spot color only)
- Print on curved or irregular surfaces requiring extended throw distance (look at the XiJet AJAX instead)
- Run ultra-high-volume continuous web at speeds above 800 ft/min
