FAQS

Why is continuous inkjet printing a good choice?

Speed, ease of integration, and reliability are the main reasons manufacturers choose continuous inkjet printers. CIJ is versatile ink-based coding technology ideal for printing on flat and curved surfaces on high-speed production lines. Optimal code formation is dependent on the substrate or material type, production speed, and product-use environment. Durable ink codes can withstand wear over time. Choosing the right ink is imperative to ensuring that a product has a lasting code.

What are Continuous Inkjet Printers, and how do they work?

Continuous Inkjet Printers (CIJ) are non-contact coding and marking solutions that use a continuous stream of ink to print on a wide variety of surfaces. The ink is electrically charged and directed by deflection plates to form precise codes or images.

What are the advantages of using Continuous Inkjet Printers for industrial applications?

CIJ printers are highly versatile, offering high-speed printing, the ability to print on flat and curved surfaces, and compatibility with various substrates. They are ideal for industries requiring reliable, durable, and efficient marking solutions.

What types of surfaces can Continuous Inkjet Printers print on?

CIJ printers can print on metals, plastics, glass, paper, wood, and more. They are suitable for curved, uneven, and flat surfaces, making them a flexible choice for diverse industries.

How do Continuous Inkjet Printers compare to other coding and marking technologies?

CIJ printers provide unmatched speed, durability, and flexibility compared to other technologies like laser marking or thermal transfer printing. They are particularly effective for high-volume production environments.

What industries benefit the most from Continuous Inkjet Printers?

Industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, automotive, and electronics benefit greatly due to CIJ printers’ ability to print batch codes, expiration dates, serial numbers, and barcodes.
