Printing on wires and tubes is a small but essential part of production – and it takes specialist skills. Here’s why:

Printers need to work fast. Very fast
We don’t need to tell you that wire and tube manufacturing processes work at high speed. But you may not know that many printers can’t keep up with those speeds. As a specialist, Leibinger offers printers like the “Jet Rapid Wire” that can print up to a kilometer of wire every minute.

Wires are difficult to print on
The print area is small. And convex. And sometimes at a high temperature straight out the extrusion unit. What’s more, dark surfaces require a special kind of opaque pigmented ink to make text readable and compliant. But these are the constraints that Leibinger is used to and our printers deal with every day.

Wire manufacturers need reliability
Every meter of wire or tube needs to be perfect – and perfectly printed. Leibinger is renowned for its reliability and build quality, which ensures that every wire or tube produced is compliant with all marking regulations.

Avoiding downtime
Many printers get clogged when ink dries – which means your production line has to stop for cleaning. Leibinger’s unique printhead technology prevents air from getting to the ink when not in use. No clogging, no expensive downtime. A customer used to spend 2 to 3 hours a day cleaning printers. Now they use Leibinger – and spend all day making cables.

You need to increase sustainability and decrease costs
Wire and tube manufacturers are under pressure to be both, leaner and greener. Leibinger’s printers use less solvent and less power to make the process more sustainable and keep the costs down. Their latest printer “IQ Jet” stands for zero maintenance costs for five years.
