What Type of Printer Makes No Contact with the Material?

Continuous Inkjet (CIJ), Thermal Inkjet (TIJ), and Laser Marking printers are all non-contact printing technologies. They print without touching the surface of the material.

Non-Contact Technologies Explained

• CIJ Printing: Ink droplets are electrically charged and steered onto the surface without physical contact.
• TIJ Printing: Ink is sprayed from a cartridge onto the material through a tiny nozzle.
• Laser Marking: A laser beam alters the surface to create a mark, without any mechanical interaction.

Benefits of Non-Contact Printing

• Prevents material damage
• Ideal for fragile or irregularly shaped items
• Supports high-speed, continuous production

Non-contact printers are essential for industries that require fast, clean, and accurate marking on delicate products.
