Semi-Pigmented Industrial Inkjet Printer
Videojet® 1580 C
A semi-pigmented contrast inkjet printer that is as easy to maintain as a standard printer.
The 1580 C delivers industry-first performance through the use of semi-pigmented contrast inks, providing high uptime and helping you achieve your coding and marking goals.
Innovations in hydraulics, printheads, and cartridge design bring uptime and maintenance intervals to the same level as standard continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers.
Based on the proven Videojet 1580 inkjet printing platform, the 1580 C offers similar features and design.
The 1580 C is one of the easiest CIJ printers to operate and maintain, and is designed to consistently print high-quality, high-contrast codes.

Works Like a Standard CIJ Printer
- The 1580 C has the same cleaning cycles and preventive maintenance requirements as a dye-based printer, and uses filters similar to the rest of the Videojet CIJ printer range.
- Regular maintenance can be performed every 5,000 hours — the use of semi-pigmented inks does not require more frequent maintenance.
- The new patented cartridge design helps reduce common issues such as pigment settling, which can cause blockages and lead to printhead clogging.
- The new design helps the printhead stay clean for longer, reducing production downtime and enabling longer intervals between cleaning.
Maintains Code Print Quality and Contrast
- The 1580 C is specifically designed to print codes with consistent quality and contrast, ensuring they remain readable and do not fade over time.
- With a new formula that reduces settling speed, our semi-pigmented inks are designed to provide longer uptime.
- The conical reservoir mixer design improves ink recirculation, reducing pigment settling.
- Videojet Dynamic Calibration automatically maintains exceptional print quality, ensuring optimal uptime even in changing environmental conditions.
Simple Maintenance
- The Videojet SIMPLICiTY™ user interface provides code assurance straight out of the box, with error-prevention rules that define editable fields, permitted data types, date limits, and much more. This significantly reduces printer interaction and potential user errors.
- The Videojet OPTIMiZE tool enables the 1580 C to assess various printer parameters, helping manage ink and make-up fluid consumption, calculate projected future fluid requirements, and determine energy waste.
Future-Ready Connectivity
- The 1580 C is ready to meet today’s printing challenges, as well as whatever future Industry 4.0 requirements may demand.
- The integrated Wi-Fi antenna enables the printer to connect to the internal network and provides greater mobility, without the need for LAN cables or wired connections.
- Web server capability allows operators to access printers via supported internet browsers on host computers, with up to five web server sessions permitted for each printer.
