Revolutionary industrial printer IQJET 

Wherever production and packaging occur, marking plays a crucial role. Printed information ensures reliable compliance with legal requirements, enables seamless traceability along the entire value chain and creates transparency as well as user interaction opportunities for consumers. With the new industrial printer, IQJET, LEIBINGER revolutionizes continuous inkjet printing (CIJ) and offers users from numerous industries an optimal solution for marking their products. 

IQJET, for instance, prints texts, logos, and codes on a variety of surfaces such as metal, plastic, glass, and paper. The device guarantees high performance, exceptional print quality, and efficiency with reliable continuous operation and no need for cleaning. Users benefit from the unique "Plug&Print" performance, easy operation, and five years of maintenance-free operation. Compared to conventional printers, IQJET reduces operating costs by up to 30 percent. Furthermore, companies optimize their ecological footprint through the low consumption of energy, ink, and solvents.

Christina Leibinger, CEO of LEIBINGER, and COO Jan van het Reve personally accepted the award. Leibinger summarizes, "We have set a goal to continuously optimize industrial CIJ printing and take a leading role as a provider of innovative coding & marking technology. We are proud that our innovative strength has also impressed the jury.” 

Van het Reve adds, "Our developments are always focused on benefiting the customer, meaning that with the LEIBINGER printers we aim to make a significant contribution to operating cost optimization, sustainability, and efficiency in manufacturing and packaging lines worldwide."
