What is inkjet technology?
Today, there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to inkjet printers. Each type of inkjet printer has been designed to deliver the best results for specific applications. Here are some of the most common applications for each:
CIJ inkjet printers
Ideal for:
- Variable information, such as product identification codes, batch numbers, and use-by dates
- Graphics, such as your logo
- Small character text
- Primary packaging at high speeds
Not recommended for Printing barcodes onto secondary packaging. Large-character printers are the preferred method for applying barcodes to generic cartons. While it is possible to print barcodes using inkjet technology, major retailers do not tend to accept it, so it is not recommended.
Thermal inkjet coders
Ideal for:
- Carton coding
- Porous and non-porous packaging for food, beverage, household products, and more
- Some can be used for industrial environments, including timber marking and grading.
Not recommended for Wet environments or high-vibration production lines.
Large character DOD inkjets
Ideal for:
- Secondary packaging and carton coding
- Fibre cartons and shrink wrap, such as product descriptions and batch numbers
- Hardware product marking, g. timber, metal products, steel pipes, roofing, concrete, and plastic substrates.
- 2D codes on a variety of packaging materials
Not recommended for: Most retail packaging, due to their lower printing resolution.
High-resolution inkjet
Ideal for:
- Barcodes, graphics, and text on primary and secondary packaging
- Specialized timber applications
