Frequently Asked Questions
-
Which coding technology is best for dairy production?
It depends on the environment, line speed and packaging. CIJ suits wet, cold and high-speed lines. TIJ fits clean areas needing high-resolution codes. Laser works where permanent marking is required.
-
Can these printers operate in chilled and high-humidity areas?
CIJ systems are designed for cold, wet and condensed environments. TIJ and laser suit controlled areas away from direct washdown.
-
What packaging materials can be coded?
Plastics, films, foils, coated cartons, labels and some rigid containers. Material choice influences the best technology.
-
What types of codes can be printed or marked?
Use-by dates, batch and lot codes, barcodes and QR codes. All technologies support traceability requirements.
-
How do I choose between CIJ and TIJ?
Choose CIJ for speed, moisture resistance and curved surfaces. Choose TIJ for sharp codes on flat, dry packaging.
-
Is laser coding suitable for food production?
Yes. Laser coding uses no inks or fluids. It creates permanent marks with low ongoing costs.
-
How complex is maintenance across technologies?
CIJ requires routine servicing and fluid management. TIJ uses simple cartridge replacement. Laser systems need minimal maintenance.
