idTij

idTIJ is an industrial thermal inkjet printer for clean, high-resolution coding on packaging, labels and suitable products. Based on HP Thermal Inkjet technology, it combines compact line integration with simple cartridge replacement and flexible ink selection.

Use idTIJ to print batch and date codes, barcodes, 2D codes, logos and variable production data directly onto suitable substrates. Aqueous, solvent-based and UV ink options help match the printer to porous and selected non-porous materials.

Clean, high-resolution industrial coding

idTIJ is designed for manufacturers that need clear variable data without the complexity of a traditional fluid-based ink system. Each replacement cartridge includes a new printhead, helping keep operation clean and reducing routine maintenance requirements.

Its compact format makes idTIJ a strong option for packaging lines where space is limited but code quality, flexibility and straightforward operation remain essential.

Key features

High-resolution HP TIJ technology

Produce sharp text, barcodes, 2D codes, logos and graphics at up to 600 dpi for legible, high-quality coding.

Clean, user-replaceable cartridges

Each cartridge includes a new printhead, allowing quick replacement without specialist maintenance or extensive cleaning procedures.

Ink options for different substrates

Choose aqueous, solvent-based or UV inks according to the material, surface finish, drying requirements and required code resistance.

Compact production-line integration

The compact, lightweight design is easy to position on production lines where installation space is limited.

Touchscreen message design and control

Create, preview and manage print messages through the touchscreen interface or compatible PC software, including texts, logos, barcodes and variable fields.

Print variable data directly onto packaging and products

idTIJ allows changing information to be printed on demand during production, helping reduce reliance on pre-printed packaging variants.

Typical print content includes:

• Batch, lot and production codes.
• Best-before and use-by dates.
• Serial numbers and traceability data.
• Barcodes, QR codes and Data Matrix codes.
• Product references and variable text.
• Logos, graphics and promotional information.
• Shipping and handling information.

The right ink for the right material

No single ink is suitable for every substrate. idTIJ can be configured with an appropriate ink for the material and production environment.

Typical porous-material applications

• Paper and cardboard.
• Corrugated packaging.
• Wood.
• Uncoated labels.

Typical selected non-porous applications

• Plastics and coated packaging.
• Aluminium and other metals.
• Ceramics.
• Film and selected flexible packaging materials.

Final adhesion, contrast and drying performance depend on the substrate, line speed, print distance and ink selection. We recommend testing the actual material before confirming the configuration.

When should you choose idTIJ?

Choose idTIJ when you need high-resolution, small-character or variable-data coding with a compact printer and straightforward cartridge replacement.

It is particularly suitable for:

• Packaging date and batch coding.
• Barcode and 2D code printing.
• Product and label identification.
• Short-run or frequently changing product information.
• Production lines with limited installation space.

For large-character outer-case coding, explore idJET Compact or idJET Umbilical.
