White and Green Ink CIJ Printing on Cables and Hoses
Standard dark ink may be difficult to read on dark cables or transparent industrial materials. White and colored pigment inks provide another option when the production code needs stronger contrast. These examples show light-colored printing on a dark cable and green printing on a transparent braided hose. White ink for dark cable surfaces Dark cable jackets require a code that remains visible against the background color. White pigment ink can create the contrast needed for product specifications, size information, dates, batch numbers and meter marks. The cable sample in this application sho…

Date and Batch Code Printing on Caps, Pouches and Bags
Dates, batch numbers and product information must remain readable on many different packages. These application examples show continuous inkjet printing on a plastic bottle cap, a small foil pouch, a large plastic bag and card-shaped packaging moving on a conveyor. One coding method for different package shapes Continuous inkjet printing is suitable for many production lines because the printhead does not touch the package. It can print on flat, curved and moving surfaces when the product is guided past the printhead at a controlled distance. The yellow plastic cap shows a clear date and Chine…

Continuous Inkjet Printing for Footwear Production Lines
Footwear factories need clear production identification while maintaining a fast and continuous workflow. This application shows a compact touchscreen inkjet printer installed beside a footwear conveyor to print codes on shoe components as they move through the production line. Printing without contact Shoe parts may have curved, soft or slightly uneven surfaces. A continuous inkjet printer applies the code without touching the product, which reduces the need for mechanical contact with the material. The printhead is mounted above the conveyor and positioned close to the target area. Depending…

Continuous Inkjet Printing for Flexible Circuit Boards
Flexible circuit boards and electronic components often require compact, readable codes without slowing the production line. This application shows a small-character continuous inkjet printer integrated with an automated handling station to print identification information on flexible circuit materials. Why CIJ printing works for flexible electronics Flexible printed circuits have limited printing space and move through several production steps before final assembly. A non-contact continuous inkjet printer can place small text on the available surface without pressing against the material. The…

How to Prevent CIJ Nozzle Clogging After Production Shutdowns
After a weekend shutdown or an extended production break, some continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers may experience difficult startups, missing characters, or unstable ink streams. These problems are often associated with dried ink deposits, contaminated fluid systems, or incorrect shutdown procedures. For manufacturers operating packaging, cable, food, and industrial coding lines, unexpected nozzle blockage can delay […]

How to Calculate the Running Cost of a Continuous Inkjet Printer
When purchasing industrial coding equipment, the initial machine price is only one part of the investment. A continuous inkjet (CIJ) printer may operate for thousands of hours every year, consuming ink, makeup solvent, electricity, and maintenance resources. Even small differences in operating efficiency can affect production costs over time. Understanding the running cost of a […]

How to Integrate a CIJ Printer with Conveyor Sensors and Encoders
A continuous inkjet (CIJ) printer can produce clear date and batch codes, but print quality depends on more than the printer itself. On a moving conveyor, the coding system must recognize each product, calculate when printing should start, and follow its travel speed. Poor sensor positioning or incorrect encoder settings may cause shifted codes, uneven […]
