Industrial Inkjet Printers

What are Industrial Inkjet Printers?

What Makes Industrial Inkjet Printing Essential for Packaging?

In today’s fast-paced packaging environment, manufacturers need coding solutions that are flexible, reliable, and cost-effective while also meeting strict requirements for product safety and supply chain traceability. Industrial Inkjet Printers & Inkjet Coders have emerged as a go-to technology for marking packaging across all stages, from primary containers to shipping cases. What makes it truly valuable is its ability to print clean, scannable codes on a wide range of packaging substrates.

Within industrial inkjet printing, advanced Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) technology provides manufacturers with the high-resolution quality needed for barcodes, logos, QR codes, and regulatory labels. TIJ systems excel on porous and semi-porous materials such as corrugate, coated cartons, paperboard, and flexible films while also supporting specialty inks for plastics and other challenging surfaces. This versatility makes TIJ the preferred choice for modern packaging lines.

If your production line involves multiple packaging materials such as corrugate, plastic film, coated cartons, or metal you need a print technology that keeps up without constant changeovers. That is where industrial inkjet printing solutions from Markoprint, distributed by AT Information Products, come in.

Why Industrial Inkjet Outperforms Other Printing Technologies?

Not all printing systems are built for modern packaging demands:

  • Limited material compatibility: Some printers can’t print on non-porous packaging like films, plastics, or glass.

  • High consumable costs: Others need expensive specialty inks to handle coated or glossy surfaces.

The Advantage of Industrial Inkjet in Modern Production

Industrial inkjet printers, especially advanced thermal inkjet (TIJ) and piezo-based coders solve these challenges. They deliver:

  • Crisp, permanent marks on a wide range of substrates.

  • Compatibility with porous and non-porous packaging.

  • High-speed performance without slowing your production line.

What are industrial inkjet printers
used for in packaging?

With the right ink and printhead configuration, industrial inkjet printers can apply a wide range of information in real time, such as:

  • Expiration and best-by dates

  • Lot and batch numbers

  • Serialized codes for product identification

  • 1D & 2D barcodes

  • QR codes for marketing and traceability

  • Compliance and regulatory labels

Which packaging materials can industrial inkjet printers code on?

One of the biggest advantages of industrial inkjet printing is flexibility. These systems achieve excellent adhesion and clarity on:

  • Corrugated cardboard (uncoated & coated)

  • Shrink film and flexible plastics

  • Glossy cartons and folding boxes

  • Glass and metal containers

  • Paperboard sleeves and trays

  • Pouches and sachets

Industrial Inkjet Printing: One Technology, Infinite Possibilities

Why do manufacturers choose inkjet printers for coding and marking?

By standardizing on industrial inkjet technology, manufacturers reduce downtime, minimize operator errors, and future-proof their packaging lines for evolving material choices. Whether your operation is food, beverage, pharma, e-commerce, or industrial goods, having one adaptable print system for every substrate simplifies the coding process and your bottom line.

Key Benefits of Using Markoprint Across Packaging Materials

No Need for Labels

Direct-to-pack printing eliminates label stock, reduces waste, and lowers your material costs.

Instant Drying Inks for Non-Porous Surfaces

Markoprint systems offer solvent-based and UV-curable inks designed for films, foils, and glossy coatings—delivering fast dry times and high contrast.

Seamless Integration with Packaging Machinery

Inkjet printheads can be mounted on form-fill-seal (FFS) machines, cartoners, case packers, and conveyors—providing consistent marking across all substrates in one streamlined workflow.

Low Maintenance and Easy Changeovers

Compared to CIJ systems, TIJ-based industrial inkjet printers require minimal upkeep and can switch between ink types or print tasks quickly.

Choosing the Right Ink for Your Substrate

A crucial factor in industrial inkjet printing success is ink selection. Markoprint systems support a wide range of cartridges and bulk ink solutions engineered for specific substrate types. The right ink ensures crisp, durable prints, maximizes adhesion, minimizes smudging, and maintains compliance with packaging regulations. Explore all of our inks to find the perfect match for your application.
