A fixed inline inkjet printer lets operators apply date, batch, expiry, lot, QR and barcode information while the product stays in production flow.
An inline inkjet printer is more than the printhead. The result depends on product control, sensor position, encoder choice, mounting, guarding access and how operators change messages.
Inline systems can be fitted around conveyors, turntables, labellers, cappers, fillers, cartoners, checkweighers and end-of-line packing equipment.
We look at the pack shape, speed, code location and substrate before recommending CIJ, TIJ, large character or handheld machinery.
Brackets and mounts hold the printhead at the correct distance from the pack.
Sensors detect the pack at the right moment for repeatable code placement.
Encoder and control options help keep coding consistent on real production lines.

CIJ, TIJ and large character inkjet can all be inline options. The right choice depends on speed, material, code size and print quality.
Yes. Inline inkjet systems can print changing dates, batch codes, lot numbers, serial data, barcodes and QR codes.
