Where thermal inkjet printing performs well

Thermal inkjet printers are widely used on cartons, sleeves, labels, trays, outer packs and flat packaging surfaces where a sharp code is required.

A TIJ printer can be a practical choice for dates, batch numbers, variable text, QR codes and barcodes. It is especially useful when operators need a clean cartridge-based system without solvent routines.

We help match print height, head position, ink type, drying time and data entry to the way your line is actually run.

High-resolution codes

Good for small text, barcodes, QR codes and clear production data.

Cleaner operation

Cartridge-based ink handling can reduce mess and simplify changeover.

Flat pack faces

Often suited to cartons, sleeves, labels, trays and flat panels.

Questions before you buy

Common questions

Can TIJ print QR codes?

Yes. Thermal inkjet is commonly selected where clear QR codes, barcodes and high-resolution text are required.

Is TIJ suitable for bottles?

TIJ can work on flat bottle panels or labels, but CIJ is often assessed first for curved, high-speed bottle lines.

Does TIJ need solvent?

Most TIJ systems use replaceable cartridges. Ink choice still matters, especially on coated or non-porous materials.
