Continuous Inkjet Printers
Industrial, high-speed CIJ printers for reliable coding and marking
Linx continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers deliver reliable industrial printing for global production lines.
Our CIJ printers provide fast, non-contact coding for batch numbers, date codes, expiry dates, 2D codes and product marking on plastics, glass, metal, coated card and more.
The latest Linx CIJ printer range, the 9000 Series, gives manufacturers more choice for reliable product coding. With options to print up to 6 lines of text, IP55 or IP65 ratings and the 9000 Series Spectrum models for high-contrast coding on dark substrates.
What is CIJ printing?
Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) printing is a flexible, high-speed way to add codes to products and packaging as they move along your production line. It works by continuously firing a stream of tiny ink droplets, precisely directing them to form text and codes on the surface. CIJ prints on a wide range of materials without stopping production, helping you keep output high and downtime low. Compared to other technologies, it offers dependable, consistent coding with minimal maintenance—making it a cost-effective choice for busy manufacturing environments.

FAQ
CIJ printing is a non-contact coding technology that uses a continuous stream of ink droplets to create text, dates, and codes on products and packaging.
CIJ can print on a wide range of materials, including plastics, glass, metal, paper, and flexible packaging. It is especially suited to curved or uneven surfaces, and can print on wet or oily surfaces.
CIJ can print a variety of codes, including batch numbers, expiry dates, barcodes, 2D codes, sequential numbers, sequential text graphics and logos.
CIJ printers can run continuously with minimal intervention, reducing the need for frequent stoppages and helping maintain productivity.
Linx continuous inkjet printers offer low total cost of ownership through a balance of low running costs, minimal maintenance and high uptime, making it a cost-effective choice for many manufacturers.
