REA JET 2.0 Ink Jet Print Heads

REA JET 2.0 print heads

Engineered for Performance

REA-JET 2.0 print heads represent the pinnacle of DOD (drop-on-demand) ink jet printing technology. Unlike typical valve-based DOD heads, their patented design uses an uncomplicated ink delivery system to alleviate common clogging problems. This straightforward engineering renders them as low maintenance as possible, even when using difficult printing inks.

  • High-tech internal materials increase reliability and print quality
  • Ultra-fast printing at speeds up to 1,960 feet/minute (600 meters/minute)
  • Dot size optimization reduces ink usage by 20% to 30% compared to other DOD printers

Print Head Features

  • IP65 protection from dust and water splashes
  • Resistant to humidity, temperature fluctuations, and vibration
  • Different orifice sizes and dot size controls help you achieve the right balance between print quality and ink usage
  • Compatible with solvent-based (MEK, ethanol, alcohol, etc.) or solvent-free (water-based) inks
  • Recirculation ensures consistent performance with pigmented inks
  • No air needed
  • Print in any direction: on the top, side, or bottom of your product

Character & Message Sizes

To achieve different character or message sizes with REA JET printers, the print heads can be used numerous ways:

32-dot ink jet print on rubber

Font Selection

Messages can consist of text using different size fonts. For example, the message above uses the 32 x 20 font and the 10 x 10 font in the same program.

Print Head Rotation

Print heads can be rotated to make character sizes smaller, as shown above.  This also places the dots closer together to form more solid characters.

printing extra large characters and messages with REA JET ink jet printers

Print Head Stacking

Several print heads can be grouped together to work in unison to create extra large messages.

Head Maintenance

Robust enough to withstand harsh industrial environmental conditions such as dirt, vibrations and temperature fluctuations, REA JET 2.0 DOD heads offer rugged technology for reliability at its best. Interchangeable heads with 7, 16 or 32 nozzles are easy to swap out and service.

Preventive maintenance consists of simple daily and weekly routines.

Corrective maintenance is infrequent and can be performed by the operator.

Print head refurbishing including tunings, adjustments, and/or repairs are performed at our factory by Pannier repair technicians.
