• Technology: Expanding acceptance of laser coding & marking in industries requiring precise product labeling

  Continuous inkjet (CIJ) printing technology expels ink from the print nozzles in a continuous, steady pattern. CIJ technology has widespread acceptance within manufacturing sectors such as food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. It offers high-speed, non-contact printing, capable of producing high-quality prints on various materials. Drop-on-demand (DOD) printing technology works by extruding small ink droplets, one drop at a time, and each drop is accurately placed onto the substrate. DOD printing technology has gained momentum due to its high resolution and ability to mark large print areas. Laser coding involves the use of laser coding & marking methods such as ablation, engraving, and etching to inscribe codes on an object. Laser coding & marking are highly sought-after in industries seeking precision, high durability, and permanence. It eliminates the need for consumables, thus making it more cost-effective. Thermal inkjet (TIJ) printing technology utilizes ink cartridge-based systems to apply traceability information onto packaging and products such as text, logos, 2D codes, and barcodes. TIJ printing technology can help reduce production and operational costs by printing directly onto packaging and cases, thereby removing the need for labels. Additionally, some thermal inkjet printing technology can be equipped with dual firing chambers, further reducing errors, maximizing equipment uptime, and reducing wastage.
