FAQS
Speed, ease of integration, and reliability are the main reasons manufacturers choose continuous inkjet printers. CIJ is versatile ink-based coding technology ideal for printing on flat and curved surfaces on high-speed production lines. Optimal code formation is dependent on the substrate or material type, production speed, and product-use environment. Durable ink codes can withstand wear over time. Choosing the right ink is imperative to ensuring that a product has a lasting code.
