What is the best printing technique?

Thermal jet printers are ideal for stringent requirements. Before we explain why, let's take a quick look at other technologies. Laser printing provides indelible code at high production speeds. It can also handle a variety of applications. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with all substrates, which means it doesn't provide the flexibility needed when handling food packaging.

Another option is continuous inkjet printing, the default option for many manufacturers. It certainly meets the minimum requirements. But as food brands demand more clarity and detail, the industry will soon start pushing the limits of what the technology can achieve. As for wax injection operations, they are not suitable for food package printing due to long start-up time and low print quality.


6 reasons thermal inkjet printing is Perfect for food packaging

So what makes thermal inkjet printing so good?

1. High speed

To keep the production line efficient, quality printers are needed at high speed. With TIJ, that's exactly what you get.

2. High quality

Printing clarity has become a major factor for food manufacturers. Thermal ink-jet (TIJ) printing provides extremely high resolution - up to 600 dpi.

3. The flexibility

Think about all the different types of food packaging you see in supermarkets. This diversity will grow further as manufacturers seek to differentiate their brands from each other. TIJ is suitable for a variety of substrates. The hundreds of nozzles inside each print head mean that TIJ can apply alphanumeric text (true fonts), graphics, logos, QR codes, 2d data matrix codes and more.

4. Full certification

Printing specialists pioneered water - and ethanol-based inks that are fully certified for use in food environments - drying quickly and suitable for a wide range of substrates and applications.

5. No stains and scratches

Traceability is critical in the food industry. Encoding and label integrity cannot be compromised. TIJ binds the above inks to the packaging substrate to achieve a permanent, scratch-resistant printing capable of withstanding the rigors of transportation and handling.

6. Easy integration

An interruption to the production line means an interruption to your output. TIJ systems are easy to use, easy to integrate with traditional technologies and quick to get started.

The key to the success of food packaging printing is to maintain high efficiency and safety.

The Power of High-Speed Variable Date Printing Systems

In today's fast-paced business environment, the need for efficient and flexible printing solutions is paramount. The advent of high-speed variable date printing systems has revolutionized the way companies handle data printing tasks. These advanced systems offer unparalleled speed, accuracy, and versatility, catering to a wide range of industries and applications. In this article, we will explore the capabilities and benefits of   high-speed variable date printing systems , shedding light on their significance and relevance in meeting the dynamic demands of the modern business landscape. The Evolution of Data Printing Data printing plays a critical role in various industries, including manufacturing, logistics, retail, and pharmaceuticals. Traditionally, printing large volumes of customized information, such as dates, batch numbers, barcodes, and variable data, was a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. High-speed variable date printing systems have emerged as a game-changer

Advantages of Thermal Inkjet Printer

Understanding Thermal Inkjet Technology Thermal  inkjet technology  is a non-impact printing method that involves the use of tiny droplets of ink expelled onto the printing surface. It relies on thermal energy to heat the ink and create the necessary pressure for droplet ejection. This technology enables precise and controlled placement of ink droplets, resulting in high-resolution prints. How Thermal Inkjet Printers Work Thermal inkjet printer  consist of a print head with a series of microscopic nozzles. These nozzles are heated rapidly using a tiny heating element. As the ink within the nozzles heats up, it forms a vapor bubble, which forces an ink droplet out of the nozzle and onto the paper or other printing substrate. This process repeats for each required dot, creating the desired image or text. High-Quality Prints with Exceptional Detail One of the primary advantages of thermal inkjet printers is their ability to produce prints with exceptional detail and clarity. The precise c

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
