Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) Printer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe continuous inkjet printer also known as CIJ, is probably one of the oldest and most known technologies since its introduction in the coding and marking industry dating back to the 1950s. The CIJ printing technology<\/a> operates by activating a high-pressure pump to push the ink through nozzles on the printhead. <\/p>\n\n\n\nEvery droplet is electronically charged and passes through a magnetic field generated between the deflector plates inside the printhead. This creates a continuous stream of ink droplets. The extent of charge on every droplet determines its position on the product and creates the final print. The droplets that do not get charged are not deflected and re-circulated back into the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The CIJ printers have always been the go-to printer when the application requirements include high throughput and the printhead can be placed farther away from the product. There was an era in coding and marking where CIJ printing technology can only achieve printing on concave surfaces such as the bottom of cola cans since other technologies cannot print on longer throw distances (Luckily now, this application can be done by TIJ printer with longer throw distance ink such as Hx Nitro and eUrex Funai Ink Cartridge)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The popular brands that manufacture CIJ printers include Domino Printing with their Ax-Series continuous inkjet printers; Videojet with their Videojet 1880 and Videojet 1620-50 series; and Leibinger\u2019s Jet3up CIJ printers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nThermal Inkjet Printer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe thermal inkjet printer or TIJ printing is one of the rising stars in the coding and marking industry. The development that coils around this technology has been rapid enabling it to achieve printing territories once impossible with its technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TIJ printer works by using an ink cartridge consisting of hundreds of nozzles which each contain a heating component. This heating component allows current to pass through it in order to warm up the ink inside the nozzles. This allows for a pressure build-up which then pushes the ink onto the final surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
TIJ printers were only a choice to mark onto porous materials such as boxes and corrugated containers due to the limited range of available ink types. It is also confronted with limitations to print closer (lower throw distance) to the surface of the product. Unlike CIJ printers, there is no additional pressure applied to jet the droplet towards the surface of the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"TIJ](\"https:\/\/maplejet.com\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/03\/water-shoulder-print-1024x578.jpg\")

The latest development in this technology that MapleJet has proudly pioneered was the introduction of a high throw distance TIJ printer, Hx Nitro. The printer uses a Funai-based ink cartridge and can achieve up to 10 mm throw distance<\/a> from the product substrate. It is a perfect solution to print on concave or irregular shapes such as on the bottom of cans or the shoulders of bottles that are sloped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
