Inkjet Printers

Enicstra stocks industrial inkjet printers used for non-contact marking of lot codes, date codes, batch numbers, and barcodes directly onto products and packaging. Inventory covers Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) printers for high-speed marking of porous and non-porous surfaces, Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) printers for simpler installations with cartridge-based ink supply, and large-character valve-jet printers for case and corrugated marking.

Brands carried include Videojet 1000-series, 8000-series, and Wolke TIJ, Domino A-series, A-GP, and V-series, Markem-Imaje 9028/9028 Smart/9040/9410/9450, Hitachi UX-series, Linx 7900/8900/CJ400/TT500, KGK Jet, and Squid Ink TIJ. Obsolete inkjet printers — discontinued Videojet Excel, retired Domino A100, end-of-life Markem-Imaje 5800, and earlier Hitachi PXR-series — are sourced through our supplier network. Each unit is bench-tested for power-up and basic ink flow and ships with a 12-month functional warranty on hardware.

Buying guide

Choosing Inkjet Printers components

Inkjet selection comes down to CIJ vs. TIJ, character height capability, throughput, and the consumable ecosystem (ink chemistry, makeup fluid for CIJ, cartridge availability for TIJ). The wrong technology forces compromises that show up as missed marks or inflated running cost.

Specs to confirm before ordering:

Technology: CIJ (high speed, broad surface compatibility, complex ink-circuit maintenance), TIJ (simpler, cartridge-based, narrower surface compatibility), or valve-jet (large characters on corrugated)
Maximum print speed at the application's line speed
Character height range — typical 1.5–10 mm for CIJ, 6–25 mm for TIJ, 25–50 mm for valve-jet
Number of print lines (1, 2, 3, or 4 lines stacked)
Ink type: dye-based (most surfaces, including metal with pigmented), MEK-based (fast dry on non-porous), food-grade (low-migration), thermochromic, UV-readable invisible
Communication: Ethernet/IP, Profinet, Modbus TCP, serial
Print-head configuration: standard, low-profile, retractable for cleaning
Photocell trigger input (presence detection upstream of the print head)
Encoder input for speed-matching on variable-speed lines

Common gotchas: CIJ printers require careful ink-circuit maintenance — solvent levels, ink viscosity, and head cleaning all affect mark quality, and missing maintenance leads to nozzle clogging that takes hours to clear. TIJ cartridge cost per print is higher than CIJ ink cost, which makes TIJ economical only at moderate volumes. Print-head distance to the product matters — too close and the head gets contaminated, too far and the ink scatters. Encoder-coupled installations need correct gain settings; without speed-matched printing, characters distort at speed changes.

Typical applications: lot/date coding on beverage cans and bottles, batch numbers on pharmaceutical blister packs, cable and wire marking, and barcode generation on cartons and trays. On legacy installations, in-kind printer replacement preserves the consumable supply chain, the photocell and encoder integration, and the upstream system's message format.

Related categories Frequently asked questions

Do you stock obsolete Videojet, Domino, and Markem-Imaje printers?

Yes. Discontinued Videojet Excel 170i/270i, retired Domino A100/A200, end-of-life Markem-Imaje 5800/9028 early codes, and earlier Hitachi PXR-series are sourced through our supplier network.

CIJ vs. TIJ — which is cheaper to run?

For high-volume continuous production, CIJ has lower cost per mark (bulk ink + makeup fluid). For low-to-moderate volume with simpler maintenance preferences, TIJ's cartridge model is more convenient even at higher per-print cost.

Will the printer mark my surface?

Surface compatibility depends on the ink chemistry. Porous (paper, cardboard, wood) is universal. Non-porous (glass, plastic, metal) requires MEK-based or specialty inks. We can provide ink-compatibility charts on request.

Can it integrate with my PLC?

Most modern inkjet printers offer Ethernet/IP, Profinet, Modbus TCP, or serial integration. Variable data (lot codes, serials) is pushed from the PLC. Specify the communication interface needed.

What's the maintenance schedule?

CIJ: daily nozzle cleaning, weekly fluid checks, periodic filter changes (every 2000–4000 hours). TIJ: cartridge changes as ink depletes (no other maintenance). Missing CIJ maintenance is the leading cause of unplanned downtime on inkjet lines.

What is the warranty?

12-month functional warranty on hardware. Damage from ink contamination, missed maintenance, or operating with non-OEM consumables is not covered.
