JetStream’s intuitive software allows users to print database messages straight from a USB drive, allowing users to print messages with variable database information. Users also have the option of selecting up to 16 quick-load messages for lines that require quick message changeover. For messages with graphic elements, JetStream’s onboard software lets users make changes to graphics by utilizing the systems on-board graphic editor. With JetStream’s intelligent system software, you can print what you want, when you want it.

Minimized Maintenance

The JetStream is designed with the low maintenance features that users have come to rely on from Squid Ink. JetStream’s self-cleaning printhead with CleanJet™ maintenance routine allows quick and easy automatic start-up and shutdown. A simple press of a button commands the printer to go through a start-up cycle or flush the system for shutdown. When routine maintenance is required, components can be swapped out within minutes eliminating the need to purchase expensive filter and pump assemblies or schedule costly service calls. In addition, annual PMs can be made in minutes simply by swapping the entire ink system with an affordably priced refurbished system.
