{"product_id":"thermal-inkjet-tij-printers","title":"Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) Printers","description":"\u003cp\u003eThermal inkjet printers apply non-contact codes from replaceable cartridges rather than a circulating fluid system. That makes them simple to run, quick to change over, and well suited to operations that do not want the maintenance overhead of continuous inkjet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThree configurations\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe supply three distinct TIJ solutions, and which one suits you depends entirely on what you are coding:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh resolution\u003c\/strong\u003e for crisp barcodes and fine text, including intricate compliance labelling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh speed\u003c\/strong\u003e for production lines that need rapid throughput\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolvent ink\u003c\/strong\u003e for durable marking on non-porous surfaces such as cables and tubing, where abrasion resistance matters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTIJ or continuous inkjet?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTIJ uses sealed cartridges, so there is no solvent to manage, no makeup fluid and far less routine maintenance. The trade is running cost per code and throughput at the top end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContinuous inkjet suits higher speeds, harsher environments and non-porous substrates.
