What is continuous inkjet printing?

Inkjet printers are the most common type of printers used today. Two main methods can be distinguished: drop-on-demand and continuous inkjet technologies.

Dod printers work by expelling tiny ink droplets, one drop at a time, with each drop precisely placed onto the substrate.

Continuous inkjet printers expel ink from the print nozzles in a continuous, steady flow.

Typical substrates suited to inkjet printing include paper, films, metal, plastics, and many other materials.



A closer look at CIJ printing

An industrial Continuous Inkjet ( CIJ ) printer is used for coding and marking products and packaging during production and packaging processes. Mainly variable data is printed; typical applications include expiry dates, batch and production information, serial numbers, and promotional codes.

CIJ printing is a non-contact, versatile solution for these use cases, providing high-quality, reliable coding on fast-paced production lines. By reliably coding each product they can help to ensure high overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).

Among Continuous inkjet printers, Domino’s Ax-Series are a preferred choice. They are simple to install, extremely versatile, and able to print on a wide range of product materials. Ax-Series printers deliver outstanding coding on a wide range of products and substrates. Common applications include bottles, cans, sachets, films and foil, pipes, profiles, cable and wire.

How does a CIJ Printer work?

CIJ is short for continuous inkjet. In a CIJ printer, ink is pumped from an ink reservoir and ejected through a nozzle that creates a jet of ink.

The jet of ink is then broken up into a large number of ink droplets through high frequency vibration. Once the droplets are formed select droplets are charged by electrodes. The stream of droplets then passes through deflector plates which create an electrostatic field.

The charged drops are deflected as they move through the deflector plates, to be ejected from the print head and placed on the product to form the required message. Uncharged drops are not deflected and return into the CIJ ink system.

Through this printing process the solvent base of the ink will evaporate, changing the ink’s viscosity. To ensure the optimum drop formulation the viscosity must be tightly controlled to a defined value.

The Differences Between CIJ Printers and TIJ Printers

  As a  inkjet printers supplier   , I will share it with you.   The Working Principle of  CIJ Printers Continuous Inkjet Printer CIJ printers operate on the basic premise of creating a continuous flow of ink. And the process begins when two chipped cartridges within the printer. And one for the ink itself, and the other for solvent. These two liquids are then fed to a larger main tank where the mixture becomes pressurized and fed toward the printhead. After reaching the printhead, a piezoelectric element oscillates the ink, causing it to form droplets. These droplets are then charged by an electrode plate, pushing them towards the substrate in a precise manner.

What is an inkjet printer?

Inkjet printers   are essential computer peripherals in many people's lives, helping to create everything from letters to life-size posters. An inkjet printer is a printer that forces black or colored ink through a chamber or nozzle to a medium such as paper. These types of printers are typically used in homes, offices and large commercial operations.   What is a thermal printer? Thermal printers are low-cost, portable printers typically used to print receipts and shipping labels.  Thermal printers , as the name implies, use a heated print head to print an image on paper. They use a heating element to burn or melt dot pattern characters on special paper. The thermal print head is the heart of the thermal printing system and consists of a fixed array of microscopic heating elements. When the resistive element is energized, heat is generated in the area below the element. Two main types of thermal printers are used: direct transfer thermal printers and hot wax transfer prin...
