When selecting a coder, you can choose between many different brands and models. Typically you will find that these coders are either a CIJ printer or a DOD coder. The CIJ stands for continuous inkjet, and the DOD stands for drop-on-demand. Here are a few facts about CIJ coding equipment.
A CIJ printer is quite commonly used for industrial marking and coding, and this technology has been used by commercial businesses for more than half a century. The ink is stored in a cartridge or reservoir and then a pump essentially pushes the ink through a tiny nozzle in a continuous stream.
A CIJ printer has many advantages for those who need CIJ coding and marking. These printers can work very quickly and can keep production lines moving fast. In addition, the inks also dry very quickly and that also helps with your production time and prevents smudging and smearing.
The CIJ printer is an excellent option for a company that needs a small character printer that works quickly and can print on a variety of surfaces. CIJ coding equipment often is ideal if you need to print on a curved or uneven surface.
Our CIJ printer clients includes those in the food and beverage industries, cable manufacturing, the pharmaceutical industry, plastic and metal extrusion and many other types of manufacturing. Generally CIJ coding machines are used for coding primary packaging or the actual product itself.
Many CIJ printers can print in multiple fonts and even in multiple languages, which makes them an excellent choice if you ship products internationally. You also can adjust the print size on most CIJ coding machines.
