Batch Coder Machine

Handheld inkjet printer "gun" specifications include the print technology (usually HP TIJ 2.5), print height (up to 12.7mm or higher), print speed (varying widely), resolution (up to 600 DPI), ink type and color options, connectivity (USB, Ethernet), power source, and operating temperature. These printers are used for marking dates, codes, and barcodes on various porous and non-porous surfaces like cardboard, metal, and plastic

Online batch coding machine specifications vary by model but generally include features like a 1-8 line print capability, 1mm to 13.5mm character height, and printing speeds up to 100+ pieces per minute or 180 meters per minute. These machines use different ink types, can print logos, QR codes, and text, and operate at a range of speeds and voltages.Common specificationsPrinting capability: 1-8 lines of text, logos, QR codes, barcodes, and numbersCharacter height: 1mm to 13.5mm (variable depending on the model)Printing speed: Up to 100 pieces/minute, or 180 meters/minute, or 120 characters/minutePrintable materials: Metal, plastic, glass, wood, cardboard, pouches, and moreInk and powerInk type: Fast-dry, water-based, or oily solvent-based inks are commonInk colors: Black, white, red, blue, yellow, and green are availableInk cartridge capacity: Can print about 5,00,000 to 20,00,000 characters in a 5mm height, with a 47ml cartridge printing 35,00,000 charactersPower: Typically powered by \(24V\) DC or \(110-220V\) ACBattery: Some models have a 2600mAh, \(14.8V\) DC battery

Inkjet printers for batch coding come in two main technologies “ Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) and Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) “ with specifications varying based on the application, speed, and material compatibility. Key specs include print resolution, speed, and ink type. Key Specifications Feature Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) Print Resolution Up to 600 DPI (high-resolution for crisp barcodes/logos) Good for basic codes (prioritizes speed over resolution) Print Speed Suitable for medium to high-speed lines (e.g., up to 100 m/min) Ideal for very high-speed production lines (e.g., up to 280 m/min) Print Height Typically 12.7mm (0.5 inch) to 50.8mm (2 inches), model-dependent Varies, character height often ranges from 1.8mm to 20mm Print Distance Printhead must be very close to the product (within a few millimeters) Printhead can be placed further away from the product (up to 30mm) Substrate Compatibility Best for porous and flat surfaces like cardboard, paper, and some plastics Ideal for non-porous, curved, and uneven surfaces such as metal cans, glass, and cables Ink Type Cartridge-based, with options for solvent-based (fast-dry), water-based, and UV inks Utilizes solvent-based inks (black, blue, red, etc.) for strong adhesion on various materials Maintenance Virtually zero maintenance; easy cartridge replacement means minimal downtime Requires regular maintenance, cleaning, and addition of make-up fluid due to complex ink systems

"Continuous Batch Coding Devices" are a category of industrial printers with varied specifications depending on the printing technology used (Thermal Inkjet or Continuous Inkjet), the application (handheld or integrated into a production line), and the manufacturer. Common specifications for these devices include: Key Technical Specifications Feature Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) Printer Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) Printer Print Resolution Up to 600 DPI (Dots Per Inch), ensuring sharp, clear codes. Typically lower resolution, but effective for high-speed industrial needs. Printing Speed Up to 60-80 meters/minute (depending on resolution and surface). Can be very high, up to 700 meters/minute or more for high-speed lines. Print Height Commonly 1mm to 12.7mm (0.5 inch), some models can reach 50mm with multiple printheads. Varies, can range from 1.8mm to 20mm. Ink Type Solvent-based or water-based inks in easy-to-replace cartridges. MEK or other solvent-based inks supplied via an integrated system. Ink Colors Available in black, white, red, blue, yellow, green, and invisible/UV options. Typically black, white, blue, etc.. Maintenance Low maintenance, often "maintenance-free" as the printhead is part of the disposable cartridge. Requires more routine maintenance, including printhead cleaning and filter changes. Interface User-friendly touchscreen (4.3-inch or 7-inch) interfaces, often with USB/Wi-Fi connectivity. Touchscreen displays, Ethernet, USB, RS232 connectivity. Portability Many models are handheld and battery-operated for flexibility. Typically stationary units designed for integration into production lines.
