continuous inkjet

Continuous inkjet (CIJ) is a printing technology where a steady stream of tiny ink droplets is constantly generated and directed toward a surface. As these droplets travel, some are electrically charged and deflected by magnetic fields to form images or codes, while excess ink droplets are collected and recycled. This process allows for high-speed, precise printing of variable information such as dates, barcodes, or serial numbers on products moving quickly along production lines. CIJ printers are commonly used in packaging, labeling, and industrial applications due to their speed, reliability, and ability to print on a variety of surfaces.
