Continuous Inkjet Printers Market Outlook

Continuous inkjet printers can code onto most materials, regardless of porosity, size, shape, and texture. The continuous inkjet printers are used mainly to print variable information on individual products – such as dates, times, specific text, batch codes, product names, and logos. Particularly useful for providing traceability data and for complying with increasingly strict industry legislation.

In continuous inkjet printer the ink is pumped from an ink reservoir and ejected through a nozzle that creates a jet of ink. The jet of ink is then broken up into a large number of ink droplets through high-frequency vibration. Once the droplets are formed select droplets are charged by electrodes. The stream of droplets then passes through deflector plates which create an electrostatic field.

The growing usage of continuous inkjet printers for advertisements, which provides high print quality is expected to be a significant factor that can propel the market.

Some characteristics of the continuous inkjet printer make it extremely versatile and suitable for coding and marking in many industries. Typical applications are found in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, healthcare, beauty, cable and wire, and industrial markets.

Continuous inkjet printers do not need to come in contact with the product when coding onto it. Ink drops are deflected from the print head and land on the product as it passes the print head. This makes continuous inkjet printers a good choice for coding breakable products

Continuous inkjet printer print heads are mounted at a distance from the product. This distance is flexible, which allows for printing onto curved or uneven surfaces. The continuous inkjet printer print heads can use a wide variety of specialty inks to accommodate a multitude of applications:

The better adhesion offered by continuous inkjet printers makes it suitable for surfaces such as glass, plastic and metals and can be used for marking and coding on the products across multiple industries. The continuous inkjet printers deliver outstanding coding on a wide range of products and substrates. Common applications include bottles, cans, sachets, films and foil, pipes, profiles, cable and wire.

Printer is a widely used peripheral device used for the purpose of creating readable document through computer graphics. Continuous inkjet printer is among the oldest printing technology, which is continuing its dominance where speed and reliability is needed. In continuous inkjet printer, the individual drops of ink is electronically controlled to print character on the product. Generally dye-based ink is used in these kind of printers.

Continuous inkjet printer caters to various industries such as food & beverage, pharmaceutical, automotive, cosmetics, electronics and other industrial sectors, where these printers are suitable for various marking and coding in packaging applications. Continuous inkjet printers are not labour-intensive. In addition, these printers are available with the option of altering languages as per the requirement of the client.

Continuous inkjet printers are a reliable solution to mark and code on many types of materials, at any orientation and speed. Continuous inkjet printers are used to print lot codes, date, barcodes, logos and text to variety of substrate such as wood, plastic, glass, plastic, metal and others. Continuous inkjet printers can be used with ink with wide range of colours.
