In today’s highly developed industrialized society, whether it is common food and beverages in daily life or electronic components in professional fields, there is an invisible business card behind each product – that is the clear logo given by the inkjet printer. As an efficient printing device, CYCJET Inkjet Printing Machine occupies an indispensable position in modern manufacturing industry with its unique technology and wide application.
- Working principle and types of inkjet printers
The basic working principle of inkjet printers is to eject ink droplets at high speed through tiny nozzles, and then change the flight trajectory of the ink droplets through the action of the electric field, so that they fall accurately on the surface of the moving product to form text, patterns or barcodes and other information. The most common technologies are continuous injection (CIJ) and drop-on-demand (DOD).
Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ)
CIJ inkjet printers generate a continuous stream of ink droplets, charge the ink droplets through the charging plate, and then deflect or not deflect them to the absorber or product surface as needed in the deflection electric field, thereby forming the required characters or graphics.
Drop On Demand (DOD)
DOD Large Character Inkjet Printers instantly stimulate ink to produce ink droplets under the action of printing signals, and directly spray them onto the surface of the substrate without the need for deflection process. They are suitable for high-resolution, large-font and color printing.
- Application fields of inkjet printers
- Food and beverage industry: used to print important information such as production date, shelf life, batch number, etc. on bottles, cans, and packaging boxes to protect consumer rights.
- Pharmaceutical industry: barcodes, expiration dates, batch numbers, etc. on the outer packaging of drugs and ampoules to ensure drug traceability and safety.
- Electronic product manufacturing: serial numbers, trademarks, warning signs, etc. on PCB boards, mobile phone cases, and batteries to enhance brand recognition and product management.
- Automobile manufacturing: VIN codes and other logos on engines, frames, and parts to facilitate vehicle assembly and subsequent maintenance services.
- Daily necessities and cosmetics: production information and warnings on bottle caps and tubular containers to increase product aesthetics and functionality.
- Selection and maintenance of online inkjet printers
Faced with the wide variety of inkjet printer models on the market, companies should consider the following factors to make wise choices:
- Applicable materials: Different substrates have different requirements for ink adhesion, and choosing the right model is crucial.
- Printing content: Determine the size, density and clarity of the text to be printed to match the machine of the corresponding technical type.
- Production environment: The temperature, humidity, dust concentration and other conditions in the workshop will affect the quality of inkjet printing and the life of the equipment, and need to be considered.
- Regular cleaning and maintenance should not be ignored, which can not only extend the service life of the inkjet printer, but also maintain the stability and consistency of the printing effect. Usually includes procedures such as cleaning the nozzle, replacing the filter, and replenishing the solvent and ink.
With the advent of the Industrial 4.0 era, Industrial Inkjet Printers are evolving towards higher precision, faster speed, and more diverse functions. They not only undertake the task of product identification, but also serve as the key link between physical objects and digital information, helping companies build smart supply chains and achieve lean production.
