2. What is an industrial continuous inkjet printer?
An industrial continuous inkjet (CIJ) printer is used to code and mark products and packaging during the manufacturing and packaging process. Mostly variable data is printed; typical applications include expiration dates, lot and production information, serial numbers, and promotional codes.
Continuous inkjet printing is a non-contact, versatile solution for use in such cases, providing high-quality and reliable coding on high-speed production lines. By reliably coding each product, they can help ensure high overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)
