What Is CIJ?
CIJ stands for Continuous Inkjet, a popular printing technology used in high-speed industrial production lines. It enables non-contact printing on various surfaces like plastic, metal, glass, and paper.
How CIJ Works
CIJ printers spray a continuous stream of ink droplets through a tiny nozzle. Some droplets are electrically charged and deflected to form characters, while unused droplets return to the ink system for reuse.
Advantages of CIJ
- Prints at high speeds
- Operates continuously with minimal maintenance
- Works on a wide variety of substrates
- Suitable for harsh environments
CIJ technology is ideal for date coding, batch numbers, and barcoding on production lines.
