How Do CIJ Printers Work?

Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) printers create high-speed, high-quality prints by propelling tiny droplets of ink through a nozzle and steering them onto the material.

Working Principle

• Ink is pumped under pressure to the printhead.
• Vibrations from a piezoelectric crystal break the ink stream into droplets.
• Electrically charged droplets are deflected by electrodes to form characters or graphics.
• Unused droplets are recirculated back into the system.

Advantages of CIJ

• Fast printing on high-speed production lines.
• Prints on a wide variety of substrates: plastic, glass, metal, etc.
• Minimal maintenance with long continuous operation.
