What is a thermal inkjet printer or TIJ printer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thermal inkjet printing is another type of inkjet printing technology that is cartridge-based. It typically has a small footprint with low to zero maintenance compared to other inkjet printers in the market. In the old-time, choosing a printer was wholly dependent on what you needed; there were specific printers based on the type of materials you needed to print; and how much you were willing to pay for the machine. With recent development in coding and marking, there are now printers available that are cost-efficient, simple, and can print onto different materials and applications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the most popular choices in the market are TIJ printers such as Maplejet’s Hx Nitro thermal inkjet printer<\/a>, continuous inkjet printer or CIJ printer, and laser printer. These printers are the top choices of companies that want to code on any materials. There are advantages and disadvantages among these printers, which will be helpful in deciding which is the best for your application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before introducing thermal inkjet printing, CIJ is one of the best coding printers available to code on most substrates. When thermal inkjet printers arrived, they provided solutions that are only possible using CIJ technology. For example, Maplejet’s Hx Nitro TIJ printer is one of the best and most reliable thermal inkjet printers for date coding of primary packaging. These thermal inkjet printers offer a considerable advantage when you need a flexible, small-footprint, low-cost ownership, and high print quality coding and marking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A thermal inkjet printer uses heat to produce the ink from the cartridge. Depending on the printer, around 300 to 600 tiny nozzles heat the ink in the cartridge, expanding it into a bubble providing a high-resolution print. The ink from this bubble is pushed through a nozzle onto the substrate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
