The TIJ principle
Thermal InkJet (TIJ) houses the entire printing technology inside the cartridge itself: heating resistors, ink reservoir and nozzles. At each cartridge change, the printhead is brand new — which eliminates virtually all maintenance.
TIJ advantages
- Resolution up to 600 dpi: perfectly readable DataMatrix, QR codes and small characters
- Virtually no maintenance: no pump, no solvent, no nozzle to clean — the head is replaced with the cartridge
- Immediate start-up: ready to print within seconds, even after long shutdowns
- Clean and quiet operation: suited to pharmaceutical and cosmetic environments
- Multi-head: several cartridges stitched together for larger print heights
TIJ applications
TIJ excels on flat, low-porosity substrates at short distance: pharmaceutical and cosmetic cartons, coated boxes, labels, tickets, pouches. It is the preferred technology for serialization and regulatory DataMatrix codes thanks to its high resolution.
Our TIJ range
The
Ti-12 is our reference TIJ coder: compact, clog-free, it integrates easily on existing lines. The
X1JET offers a versatile high-resolution solution for demanding marking applications, and the
Integra One covers standalone printing needs with its integrated controller.
TIJ or CIJ?
| Criterion | TIJ | CIJ |
|---|
| Print distance | Short (a few mm) | Up to several cm |
| Resolution | Up to 600 dpi | Standard, sufficient for text and dates |
| Maintenance | Virtually none | Regular ink circuit upkeep |
| Substrates | Flat surfaces, cartons, cases | All surfaces including curved and wet |
| Speed | Medium to high | Very high |
Conclusion
For clean, maintenance-free high-resolution marking — pharmaceutical serialization, cartons, cases — TIJ is the easiest technology to live with daily. Cartridges and consumables available in our
