Ink-Jet printers of the LEIBINGER JET2 SE family are known for the highest flexibility. The range of application reaches from egg printing with food grade inks, printing best before dates on packaging, and marking black cables with white contrast inks. By the use of solvent-based inks, the print is smudge-proof after one second on glass, plastic or metal.

Printing is accomplished using Continuous Inkjet technology for fast, non-contact marking. All possible kinds of surfaces, including round, vaulted, waved, rough or graded can be printed easily. Very good print quality is also possible when large throw distance from head to product is required.

Simple operation keeps production running smoothly. The LEIBINGER JET2 SE machines are operated by a large-surface, background illuminated Touch-Screen display. Operating is logical and efficient with easy to follow menus available in many languages. With the help of the integrated graphic editor, logos or special characters can be directly designed by the operator.

Starting the printer requires pressing only one button. After the nozzle seal opens, the LEIBINGER JET2 SE printer is ready to print within one minute, without flushing processes and cleaning procedures. This unique, fast and easy start up method for the Continuous Ink-Jet printer is guaranteed by the worldwide unique, full automatic nozzle seal which is standard on every model of the LEIBINGER JET2 SE series.

Shut-down of the machine happens also by pressing only one button. The gutter tube closes the nozzle airtight. No drying or clogging can occur due to the closed ink circuit. The ink can circulate every day at a pre-programmed time. Even after long-term shut-downs, drying in the ink supply, nozzle, gutter tube and return line is prevented. Gone are the days of dry, clogged printers.

The LEIBINGER JET2 SE series meets all demands which are required from INK-JET marking systems. Flexible for many applications, easy to integrate in existing machines, powerful and fast with highest printing quality and above all: Highest efficiency, easiest to operate and unmatched reliability.

Leibinger JET 2 se – Printer of many talents.
This printer works with fast drying solvent ink, food grade inks, color-based inks, slightly pigmented contrast inks and a variety of special inks. The JET 2 se prints on almost every material and surface. Successfully proven in applications including printing of folded boxes, blister packs, aluminum foils and extrusions, plastic foils and extruded parts, steel plate and tubes, automotive parts and food products.
