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…

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 […]

How to Improve CIJ Ink Adhesion on Plastic Film Packaging

A production date may look sharp when it leaves a continuous inkjet (CIJ) printhead, yet smear during sealing, rub off during transport, or disappear after cold storage. For flexible packaging manufacturers, that failure can cause rejected batches and traceability problems. Improving CIJ ink adhesion on plastic film packaging requires more than increasing ink density. The […]

High Contrast Inkjet Coding on Black Cables and Rubber Products

Black cables and rubber components often need durable, readable identification throughout production, handling, and distribution. Manufacturers print lot numbers, dates, specifications, meter marks, and traceability data directly on these surfaces. However, standard dark ink can disappear visually against a black background, while flexible or textured materials create additional challenges for print quality. High contrast inkjet […]
