What is static inkjet printer?
A static inkjet printer is a specialized coding and marking device used on stationary products, particularly in situations where high-speed line coding is impractical or precise, complex markings are needed. These printers employ non-contact inkjet technologies, like CIJ or DOD, with a printhead mounted on a robotic arm or similar motion system. When a product is stationed, the arm moves the printhead along programmed paths to apply accurate, high-resolution marks directly onto the product's surface, even on irregular or hard-to-reach areas.
Static inkjet printers offer excellent accuracy and versatility, accommodating various substrates (paper, plastics, metals, etc.) and ink types (solvent-based, water-based, UV-curable) to meet specific application demands and environmental standards. They can be easily integrated into existing production lines or workstations, controlled by advanced software that facilitates job design, parameter adjustment, ink monitoring, and system interfacing for traceability.
Common applications include secondary packaging labeling, direct part marking on components, coding for large/heavy non-conveyable items, and specialized tasks requiring high precision or multi-dimensional printing. Overall, static inkjet printers provide a flexible, accurate, and seamlessly integrable solution for marking stationary products in diverse industrial settings.
