Online TIJ Printer
High-Speed Thermal Inkjet Batch Coding System for MRP, Expiry Date, Barcode & QR Code Printing
Introduction
In modern production and packaging environments, speed, traceability, compliance, and flexibility are non-negotiable. Manufacturers across industries—food, pharmaceuticals, FMCG, cosmetics, and chemicals—need reliable, efficient, and high-resolution printing systems that can integrate directly onto their production lines.
The Online TIJ Printer (Thermal Inkjet Printer) is an advanced inline coding solution engineered to deliver sharp, permanent, and fast batch coding on a wide range of packaging materials. Using HP 45A cartridge-based technology, this compact printer offers zero-maintenance, high-speed, and contactless printing, suitable for both startup units and large-scale manufacturing operations.
It is designed to print on cartons, labels, pouches, bottles, sachets, blister packs, foil wrappers, and other packaging surfaces—producing legible and smudge-proof prints of batch numbers, manufacturing dates, expiry dates, MRP, QR codes, barcodes, serial numbers, and logos.
