Accurate and durable marking is critical in PVC pipe manufacturing for both regulatory compliance and traceability. The RNJet 200 is a dual-color industrial inkjet printer specifically engineered to meet the demanding needs of extrusion environments. Designed and manufactured in Canada, the RNJet 200 offers high-resolution, two-colour printing with fast drying inks and low-maintenance operation, making it a reliable and efficient solution for marking on PVC and other non-porous materials.
Dual-Head, Dual-Colour Performance
The RNJet 200 uses two piezoelectric drop-on-demand printheads, allowing for simultaneous two-colour printing. Each head offers up to 18 mm print height, providing a combined 36 mm print zone. This setup is ideal for applications that require contrast—for example, printing both a white pipe ID and a red logo in a single pass.
Speed with Sharp Resolution
The RNJet 200 supports up to 180 dpi resolution, delivering clear, scannable codes and logos even at production speeds up to 60 m/min. It is optimized for extrusion lines that demand high throughput without compromising legibility.
Ink Versatility and Durability
A wide range of fast-drying inks are available, including black, white (pigmented), red, yellow, blue, and purple—both in solvent and oil-based options. These inks are engineered for strong adhesion to non-porous surfaces like PVC, offering excellent resistance to abrasion, UV exposure, and handling.
Maintenance-Free and Modular
As with other RNJet printers, the 200 operates using a clean, cartridge-based system that eliminates the need for regular servicing. There are no ribbons, no complex fluid systems, and no downtime due to clogged lines. The printheads are built for reliability and low maintenance, even in dusty or vibration-prone environments.
Flexible Mounting and Orientation
The RNJet 200 offers flexible installation, with printheads that can be mounted in any orientation—vertical, horizontal, angled, or curved. It supports a throw distance of up to 15 mm, allowing precise printing even on curved or irregular surfaces such as extruded piping.
Smart Controller and Connectivity
A built-in 7" touchscreen LCD lets users manage print jobs directly—no external PC is needed. For advanced functions, the RNJet 200 connects via USB, Ethernet, or RS‑232 to integrate with databases, ERPs, and line controllers. This enables dynamic printing of barcodes, variable data, serial numbers, time/date stamps, and more.
Cost-Effective Alternative to CIJ
Compared to Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) systems, the RNJet 200 significantly lowers the total cost of ownership. It requires no pressurized systems, no expensive maintenance contracts, and no waste from flushing fluids. The cartridge or bulk ink model reduces operating costs while improving uptime.
The RNJet 200 brings precision, speed, and colour versatility to PVC pipe marking applications. With dual printheads, cartridge-based ink systems, and flexible mounting options, it's a scalable and cost-effective solution for manufacturers aiming to improve traceability, compliance, and product presentation.
Whether you're upgrading from manual marking or replacing an older CIJ system, the RNJet 200 delivers performance, quality, and value.
