Discover how the FX ONE eliminates downtime, service contracts, and ink waste at once — a smarter, maintenance-free coding solution for modern production lines.

In industrial Coding and Marking, simplicity is often underrated — but at Foenix, it's everything.
 
 For decades, coding systems have become more complex, not less. From CIJ printers with their labyrinth of pumps, valves, and fluid tanks, to TIJ models that chew through costly cartridges packed with expensive electronics, most systems demand regular intervention. That means training, downtime, and service contracts — all things your production line can live without.
 
 Enter the FX ONE. A Coding printer so simple, it redefines industrial coding.
 

 The Problem with Complexity

 
 Let’s face it: CIJ printers are maintenance machines as much as they are coders. They require:

  • Regular servicing and replacement parts
  • Ongoing Make-up top-ups
  • Printhead cleanings (often several times daily)
  • Specialist knowledge to troubleshoot errors
     
     TIJ printers, while simpler, often turn into money pits over time. Sure, they’re cheap to buy — but their cartridges don’t last long. If you’re coding boxes all day, the cost of replacement adds up fast.
     
     In both cases, complexity slows you down. Worse, it can stop your production line entirely.

A Gravity-Fed Revolution 

 
 Foenix’s FX ONE takes a radical approach: remove all the parts that break.
 
  • No pumps
  • No valves
  • No pressurised ink system
  • No moving parts in the fluid path
     
     Instead, the FX ONE uses gravity-fed ink delivery and a sealed cartridge. It’s drop-on-demand technology, powered by simplicity. That means no leaks, no purges, and no waste.
     
    This isn’t just good engineering — it’s smart operations. The result? Uninterrupted production and zero planned downtime for maintenance.

What Simplicity Looks Like in Practice

 
  • You turn it on. It prints. You turn it off. That’s it.
  • No daily cleaning or warm-up routines
  • No specialist training needed
  • No reactive servicing or waiting for callouts
No risk of damage from user error
 

No Contracts. No Downtime. No Drama

 
 Traditional coding systems tie you into long-term service agreements. You’re not just buying a printer — you’re committing to a maintenance plan, a spare parts list, and a technician’s calendar.
 
 With the FX ONE, there’s no service contract required. That alone can save your business thousands per year. And it’s one less thing for your operations manager to juggle.

Designed for Everyday Production — Not Just Engineers 

 
 Foenix built the FX ONE to be used by real people on real production lines:

  • Operators don’t need to be specialists
  • Line managers don’t need to babysit the coder
  • Maintenance teams can focus on other priorities
     
     It’s a drop-in solution that prints high-resolution codes, barcodes, logos, and 2D data — without slowing down your line or overcomplicating your workflow.

Simplicity is the Strategy

 
 The FX ONE isn’t just maintenance-free. It’s a mindset shift:

  • From reactive to reliable
  • From complex to intuitive
  • From hidden costs to total control
     
     In a world where downtime is money lost, simplicity is a competitive edge.
     
     Let’s leave the inkjet headaches to the other guys.
