In the ever-evolving world of industrial printing, new technologies often promise revolution\u2014yet only a few prove their reliability on the production floor. One such breakthrough is CTIJ<\/strong>, or Continuous Thermal Inkjet<\/strong>, a printing technology that bridges the gap between high-speed, continuous operation and the maintenance-free simplicity of Thermal Inkjet (TIJ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since MapleJet first introduced Hx Ultro in 2022<\/strong>, CTIJ has quietly proven its reliability across hundreds of flexible packaging production lines. Now, with the launch of Hx Ultro 25w<\/strong> and the upcoming Hx Ultimo<\/strong>, CTIJ is stepping forward as a category of its own<\/strong>\u2014a dependable, high-performance solution built for the future of coding and marking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is CTIJ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n CTIJ (Continuous Thermal Inkjet)<\/em><\/strong> is an evolution of TIJ designed to overcome the traditional limitations of cartridge-based systems in high-speed, high-volume production.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n While standard TIJ printers rely on self-contained cartridges, CTIJ introduces a bulk ink delivery system with continuous ink <\/strong><\/em>supply<\/em><\/strong> to the printhead<\/em> resulting to uninterrupted operation.<\/em>. This means<\/em>:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n In short, CTIJ retains the core strengths of TIJ\u2014clean, maintenance-free printing and sharp resolution\u2014while delivering the performance continuity typically associated with Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why CTIJ Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Today\u2019s production lines, particularly in primary<\/strong> packaging<\/strong>, demand both precision and speed. Traditional TIJ excels at short runs and simple setups, but when lines run continuously or operate in challenging environments, a new level of robustness is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s where CTIJ fits perfectly<\/strong>\u2014it offers the durability, ink capacity, and integration flexibility<\/strong> that high-output lines need, without the solvent-heavy maintenance of CIJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CTIJ is also Industry 4.0\u2013ready<\/strong>, integrating seamlessly with smart factory systems for monitoring, remote management, and cloud connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Proven in Action: Hx Ultro<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Hx Ultro<\/strong> printer has been running on production lines across various regions since 2022<\/strong>, particularly in flexible packaging<\/strong> applications\u2014one of the most demanding segments for coding and marking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Video documentation and case studies have shown Hx Ultro delivering:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This proven reliability has established Hx Ultro as the benchmark of CTIJ performance<\/strong>, validating the category\u2019s long-term potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
