One such breakthrough is <strong>CTIJ<\/strong>, or <strong>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<p>Since <strong>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 <strong>Hx Ultro 25w<\/strong> and the upcoming <strong>Hx Ultimo<\/strong>, CTIJ is stepping forward as a <strong>category of its own<\/strong>\u2014a dependable, high-performance solution built for the future of coding and marking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is CTIJ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>CTIJ (Continuous Thermal Inkjet)<\/em><\/strong><em> 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<p><em>While standard TIJ printers rely on self-contained cartridges, CTIJ introduces a <strong>bulk ink delivery system with continuous ink <\/strong><\/em><strong><em>supply<\/em><\/strong><em> to the printhead<\/em><em> resulting to uninterrupted operation.<\/em><em>.
