Industrial Coding Information

By Keren Kipfer


If your business will be need any type of product id code to be placed on the packaging, you need to learn about the types of printers and inks that are designed specifically for id coding. Here are a few quick facts about product id printers that might prove helpful.

There are many different types of printers, but the two you generally will find associated with product id printer are drop on demand or continuous inkjet printers. With the continuous inkjet (CIJ) coder, pressure builds in the ink containment basin or reservoir and then it is this high pressure that will force the ink from the basin out of a microscopic nozzle and onto your product. Drop on demand printers, interchangeably known as DOD coders, work in one of two ways. These printers also use pressure to force out ink but this pressure is created using either heat or a type of piezoelectric material. Piezoelectric DOD printers are commonly used for product id coders.

There are many different brands of CIJ coders and DOD coders, so it is important to do some research before settling on a machine. Some of the most common brands of CIJ coders include VideoJet coding equipment and Maxima CIJ coders. Maxima is an excellent option for a smaller business or a new business, as it is high quality but fairly low cost when compared to other similar printers on the market.

There are also many brands of DOD printers, such as Altima and Domino. There are both DOD and CIJ coders from Domino. Altima is an option that tends to cost a bit less, so if you are looking for a quality coder at a good price, this might be the brand for you. No matter what brand you choose, selecting a used coder can be the best way to get a great price on your coder.

If you purchase a used coder, you probably will need to have it refurbished, especially if it is not in working order. Find a company that specializes in product id printers and services at reasonable costs. They can inspect your new coder, clean it, rebuild or replace any part, reassemble the machine and ensure that it is working properly. There are companies that can refurbish many different brands, including VideoJet, Domino, Imaje, Willett and much more.

Finding a great product id company can be a great help for your business. Not only will they be able to help with repairs and parts, they also often sell ink and all of your make-up fluids at much lower prices than the manufacturers. Be sure to look for a company with the highest possible quality inks. The ink should be produced using a method that ensures you ink will have no sludge, residue and sediment as this can cause many problems with your coder and delays in manufacturing.
