A continuous inkjet (CIJ) coding printer (non-contact printing technology) can quickly print high-quality codes, text, and graphics on various substrates. Food, beverage, pharmaceuticals, and packaging industries mostly use CIJ for marking batch numbers, expiry dates, and barcodes. Here’s an overview of how a CIJ coder works:
Components of a Continuous Inkjet Printer
- Ink System:
The Continuous Inkjet printer has an ink system so that it can reserve ink. The ink, which typically contains solvents, dyes, or pigments, circulates continuously through the system. - Ink Pressure and Circulation:
CIJ pressurizes the ink and pumps it from the reservoir to the printhead. After passing through the printhead, CIJ collects the unused ink and returns it to the reservoir for recirculation. - Printhead and Nozzle:
The printhead contains a nozzle with a small opening, usually ranging from 40 to 70 microns in diameter. A piezoelectric crystal inside the nozzle vibrates at a specific frequency, typically between 60,000 and 120,000 times per second. - Droplet Formation:
As the pressurized ink enters the vibrating nozzle, it breaks into individual droplets due to the vibration effect. These CIJ droplets release in a continuous stream from the nozzle. - Charge Electrode:
Immediately after the droplets exit the nozzle, they pass through a charged electrode. The electrode imparts an electrostatic charge to each droplet, depending on the intended position of the printable character. - Deflection Plates:
The charged ink droplets travel through a pair of deflection plates, which create an electric field. Depending on the droplet charge with a more or less electric field, determining their position on the substrate. - Printing on the Substrate:
The accurately deflected CIJ droplets reach the substrate, creating the desired characters or graphics. Meanwhile, the non-deflected droplets fall into a gutter and return to the ink reservoir for recirculation. - Drying and Curing:
As the ink droplets land on the substrate, the solvents evaporate quickly, leaving behind the ink on the surface. This process results in a high-quality, permanent print that is resistant to smudging and fading.
Expiry Date Printer
Continuous Inkjet Printers are popular for printing variable information, such as dates, batch codes, or expiry dates during production. These printers explicitly handle products of different sizes, shapes, or textures, making them prime for many industries. As a reliable expiry date printer, they are especially suited for sectors like food and beverage, where food grade inks are essential. Furthermore, Linx Printing Technologies offer a range of continuous inkjet printers that are cost-effective and efficient. Some features include remote printer monitoring and customer support, concealed and easy-to-clean printheads, error-free touch-screen control, and simple self-service capability. Compared to other industrial inkjet coders, Linx’s printers provide a reliable and quality solution to meet your needs.
