With its ease of use, small footprint, no maintenance requirement, and great potential for creating a more efficient and sustainable coding and marking environment, manufacturers are shifting attention towards thermal inkjet printing technology. TIJ printers are easy to operate since they only require ink cartridge change and once replaced the printer is as good as new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TIJ printer works using tiny resistors creating heat, and this heat vaporizes ink to create a bubble. As the bubble expands, some of the ink is pushed out of a nozzle onto the paper. A typical TIJ print head has 300 or 600 tiny nozzles, and all of them can fire a droplet simultaneously1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bulk Ink System<\/strong>–equipped<\/strong> Thermal Inkjet <\/strong>Printer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are several TIJ OEMs that have developed bulk ink delivery systems to work with either Funai or Hp bulk cartridges. However, most of these ink delivery systems lack ease of use and require expert settings to install and operate reliably. The need for skilled production staff to set up and regularly maintain these bulk systems has made this type of printer unpopular in high-volume production lines. On the other hand, MapleJet was able to develop a bulk ink delivery system which is now under US Patent Pending status that addresses the issue of complexity in installation, set up and high regular maintenance. Hx Ultro bulk ink delivery system (US Patent pending) is fully automated and requires no initial setting or skilled labour to operate. It is designed to be a user-friendly plug & play printer similar to disposable TIJ cartridges making it an ideal coding solution for high-volume production lines alternative to continuous inkjet (CIJ) and thermal transfer (TTO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why a need for a TIJ Bulk Ink system?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Continuous inkjet printing technology is known to be the most preferred coding solution in many high-volume production lines mainly due to the fact that it offers a low cost of print. However, food manufacturers are starting to understand that the cost per mark is not the only expense to consider when choosing a coding technology. Other factors such as service, maintenance, operator intervention, environmental impact, and the size of equipment are to be considered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To mention a few reasons why bulk ink delivery systems of a TIJ technology are the most viable coding and marking solution:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
