Frequently Asked Questions

Which 9000 Series model is right for me?

Each printer model in the 9000 Series has unique specifications. Please refer to the product brochure or contact us and we can discuss the right product for your business.

How often does the Linx 9000 Series need maintenance?

Thanks to long service intervals, sealed printheads, and easy self-servicing, Linx CIJ printers require less frequent maintenance than many other coding systems. Routine cleaning and fluid top-ups are quick and user-friendly, helping reduce downtime and extend printer life. Please refer to the product brochure for service intervals for each model.

What materials can the 9000 Series print on?

The Linx 9000 Series CIJ printers are versatile and can print on a wide range of substrates, including: Paper, Coated card, Plastics, Glass, Rubber, Metal and Cardboard. This makes them suitable for many industries, including: food, beverage, pharmaceuticals, electronics, chemicals, automotive, cabling and extrusion.

Can a 9000 Series printer handle dusty, hot production environments?

Printers for harsh industrial environments are typically specialized, heavy-duty units with high Ingress Protection (IP) ratings, and often require additional protective stainless-steel enclosures to handle dust, heat, and corrosive conditions. The 9940 and 9940 Spectrum are IP65 rated and ideal for harsh environments.
