THERMAL INKJET (TIJ)

High‑resolution non contact thermal inkjet printing for sharp, reliable, low‑maintenance date coding and direct batch coding across porous and non‑porous materials.no

What is TIJ?

Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) printing is a compact, high resolution coding technology designed for manufacturers who need sharp, reliable, and easy to manage product marking. TIJ systems use heat to fire precise droplets of ink from replaceable cartridges, making them exceptionally clean and low maintenance.

Ideal for food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, electronics, and packaging operations, TIJ printers deliver crisp text, barcodes, and graphics on both porous and non porous materials. Their small footprint, intuitive operation, and low running costs make TIJ a popular choice for businesses looking to upgrade from manual labelling or older coding technologies. With fast setup and consistent print quality, TIJ is perfect for production lines that value simplicity and efficiency.

How this product works

TIJ printing works by rapidly sending an electrical pulse through a microscopic resistor located inside the ink nozzel, heating the ink to a high temperature creating a microscopic bubble that ejects precise droplets through the printhead nozzles. This thermal process allows for extremely fine droplet control, resulting in high resolution codes that remain clear and readable even on small surfaces.

TIJ uses individual cartridges, therefore the system requires less maintenance.
Supporting a wide range of ink formulations, including fast drying solvent and UV inks for non porous materials and water based inks for paper and cardboard. This flexibility allows manufacturers to code everything from cartons and labels to plastics, foils, and blister packs.
Businesses choose TIJ for its simplicity, reliability, and premium print quality, a cost effective solution that enhances traceability, branding, and compliance without adding complexity to the production line.
