Is Thermal Inkjet Better Than Inkjet?
Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) is a type of inkjet printing that uses heat to eject ink droplets. It offers advantages over traditional Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) or piezoelectric inkjet technologies, depending on the application.
Advantages of Thermal Inkjet
- Higher print resolution (up to 600 dpi)
- Low maintenance (no moving parts)
- Smaller, more compact devices
- Easy cartridge replacement
When TIJ Is Better
TIJ is ideal for high-quality text and graphics on packaging, labels, and cartons. However, CIJ is still preferred for extremely high-speed, continuous industrial coding.
