Overview

What is TIJ Printing?

Thermal Inkjet Printing (TIJ) is a high-resolution coding technology that uses disposable ink cartridges with integrated printheads to print variable information directly onto products and packaging.

Each cartridge contains both the ink supply and the printhead, which means there are no pumps, filters, or complex fluid systems to maintain.

TIJ is widely used to print:
