Smarter Coding for Label Applicators

If you’re running label applicators, you’ve probably dealt with it. Clogged nozzles. Faded prints. Unreadable barcodes. Downtime. Although it’s the final stage of the production cycle it doesn’t diminish it’s importance. Printing variable data like expiry dates, batch codes, and barcodes, should be the easy part. However for many businesses, it’s the source of repeated frustration.

Whether you’re running a packaging line for food, cosmetics, or consumer goods, the last thing you need is downtime due to messy, inconsistent printers.

At MapleJet, we’ve engineered a smarter solution.

The Problem with Traditional Printing Solutions

CIJ (Continuous Inkjet) printers have long been a default choice for label printing. But behind the scenes, they bring:

• High operational costs
• Frequent maintenance requirements
• Messy ink and solvent handling
• Costly production delays

On the other side, many thermal inkjet (TIJ) printers using traditional outdated cartridges introduce new problems:

• Ink drying and nozzle clogging
• Poor adhesion on glossy or coated label materials
• Inconsistent print quality under variable speeds

These problems lead to misprints, wasted labels, and production stoppages, which ultimately cost time and money.

The MapleJet Solution: Smart, Clean, and Reliable TIJ Printing

At MapleJet, we’ve engineered a family of TIJ printers designed specifically to work seamlessly with label applicator systems and to eliminate the pain points you’ve been forced to live with.
