Overview
Continuous Ink Jet Printer
CIJ printer is a non-contact printer that is intended to code products in a production line very rapidly. It applies distinct and permanent prints on packaging materials through a consistent flow of small drops of ink on plastics, metals, films, glass, and cartons. Being a form of continuous ink jet printer, it functions under high speed circumstances where precise date codes, batch numbers or barcodes are necessary. It also performs well in dusty or humid environments and this makes it an option that is practical to the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and industry manufacturers that require a consistent and real time mark.

Applications
Where a CIJ printer fits
A continuous ink jet printer earns its place wherever codes must go on fast, moving, curved or non-porous surfaces.
Fast-moving production lines
CIJ printer inserts expiry dates or batch numbers without slacking the line.
Curved or uneven surfaces
Produces good prints when placed on bottles, cans, cables, and tubes
Wide material compatibility
A continuous ink jet printer works on plastics, metals, films, glass, and cartons.
Variable data printing
Perfect for real-time serial numbers, shift codes, or QR codes.
FAQ
Common questions
What is a CIJ printer capable of printing?
It is able to label plastics, metals, glass, films, cables, and coated cartons, and this fact makes it fit most of the packaging lines.
Does it operate at high production lines?
Yes. CIJ technology aims at constant printing as the products are loaded on a conveyor and run fast.
Is it able to print on curved surfaces or uneven surfaces?
Yes. The non-contact design can be used to have clean and readable codes on bottles, cans, tubes and other similar shapes.
What type of information may it print?
Examples of its common outputs are expiry dates, batch codes, barcodes, serial numbers and simple logos.
Does the ink smear easily?
The dry time of most inks is practically zero and they are developed to be resistant to moisture, friction and heat.
