The right industrial printer should be selected according to the actual production requirement rather than a single specification.

Several factors should be evaluated.

1. Determine Printing Height

First, calculate the required printing area.

The TIJ platform described in the catalog supports printing heights up to 150 mm.

A larger area may be valuable when printing multiple information elements.

2. Define Your Content

Determine whether production requires:

• Characters

• Symbols

• Graphics

• Images

• Barcodes

• Serial numbers

3. Determine Variable-Data Requirements

If information must change during production, real-time variable-data printing becomes an important selection factor.

4. Consider Color Requirements

If the application requires several colors, consider a system capable of simultaneous multi-color printing.

5. Evaluate the Application

The stated application range includes:

• Plastic packaging

• Food packaging

• Beverage packaging

• Electronic film

• Plastics

• Textiles

• Pharmaceutical coding

• Daily chemical products

• Glass-related applications

• Printing industries

6. Test the Real Material

Different substrates can produce different printing results.

Before finalizing a production solution, manufacturers should test the actual material and required content.

Conclusion

Selecting a TIJ online printer starts with understanding the actual printing task.

Printing height, variable data, color, content type and substrate should all be evaluated before defining the final printing system.
