Tuttlingen (Germany), February 27, 2026 – Fast production lines, 24/7 operation, rising quality demands, and increasing cost pressure define the reality of the cable industry. At the same time, meter markings, technical specifications and batch numbers must be applied permanently legible and abrasion-resistant – even on dark or pretreated surfaces. At wire 2026 in Düsseldorf, LEIBINGER is setting a new performance standard for marking extrusion products (Hall 9, Booth 9F55): high-speed printing combined with maximum ink adhesion and absolute process reliability.

Cable manufacturers worldwide already rely on LEIBINGER – including companies such as Prysmian, HFCL, Encore Wire and Fenner, as well as machine manufacturers like Rosendahl Nextrom. As a CIJ specialist, LEIBINGER sees itself not only as a manufacturer of printers and inks, but as a partner to the extrusion industry, offering deep application expertise and a global network of more than 150 service partners.

CIJ systems developed specifically for the cable industry enable printing speeds of up to 1,000 m/min. Special print head covers ensure optimal print quality at high speeds and across different cable diameters. An integrated print head ventilation system prevents so-called back-splashes and ensures consistently stable marking without additional cleaning effort.

LEIBINGER also sets standards in ink development. With a portfolio of around 70 inks, the company offers the right solution for virtually any material and requirement. These include, among others, specialty inks for soft PVC, highly abrasion- and transfer-resistant formulations, and fast-drying inks for high-speed applications.

For dark substrates, LEIBINGER offers the JET RAPID PI, a CIJ system designed for pigmented inks. An automatic nozzle sealing system protects the ink from drying out during printing pauses, while a dedicated ink management system continuously keeps the pigments in motion, ensuring consistently high print quality.
