Understanding the Two Technologies
Industrial product coding relies on reliable print technologies. The two most common options on packaging lines are Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) and Thermal Inkjet (TIJ).
When CIJ Works Best
- High-speed production lines (200+ products per minute)
- Printing on curved, porous, or non-flat surfaces
- Long run times with minimal downtime
When TIJ Is the Better Choice
- Sharper, high-resolution barcodes and logos
- Lower operating cost on moderate-speed lines
- Easy cartridge-based maintenance with less mess
