PrintStar Ink Jet Printing System


High Quality Print on Any Type of Product
Leader’s PrintStar ink jet printing system allows manufacturers to print high quality dot-matrix characters on a variety of products at a cost-effective price. In fact, the PrintStar offers the lowest price per printed character in the industry today. Users can choose between two models: a water-based system for printing on porous surfaces like corrugated cartons, paper or wood, or a solvent-based system for printing on non-porous products like plastics, stretch wraps, metals, glass or more.

Reliable. Versatile. Affordable.


The PrintStar utilizes water-based or solvent-based inks for printing on a wide range of porous and non-porous surfaces.


Run one or two printheads; select from three different printhead sizes; all components are field-installable



Leader's patented SQ-60™ no-clog ink allows users to leave ink in their printhead without having to flush their system.

User Flexibility
PrintStar users also have the option of choosing from several printhead configurations. Three different print sizes are available: 3/4”, 1/2” or 3/8” character height. All printheads are capable of printing both a 7 x 5 and 5 x 5 character matrix, offering print sizes ranging from 1/4” to 3/4” in height. Users also have the flexibility to run one or two printheads at any time. All of these components are field-installable for future upgrade to meet your application’s changing requirements.


User-Friendly System
The PrintStar is designed for simple day to day operation. PrintStar’s state of the art input device provides quick and easy message programming and retrieval for up to 64 messages. Resident software in the input device walks the user through a series of prompts to program and save each message for printing on-demand. The system can also be programmed and maintained with a PC through a standard RS-232 port.

Innovative Technology and Proven Reliability
Patented micro-channeling technology eliminates the need for a costly array of fluid valves. Leader uses its own proven plunger technology and distributes ink through a series of channels, keeping production and maintenance costs to a minimum, especially when compared to the costly valve technology common in most ink jet printers today.
No More Service Calls
The PrintStar was engineered inside and out for industrial strength operation. Heavy duty gauge coated steel cabinetry ensures continuous operation in harsh, real world environments. If the printer does fail, a fix can be completed in less than five minutes. Quick and easy-to-install replacement printheads, PC cards and air pump modules minimize downtime and eliminate costly service calls. Best of all, the water-based PrintStar utilizes Leaders’s patented SQ-60™ no-clog ink, allowing users to leave the ink in their printheads for an extended period of time without flushing or cleaning, making it the most cost-effective, low maintenance ink jet printing system available today.
