Detailed analysis of the technological evolution of inkjet printers in the past ten years

In the past ten years, whether it is canned, bottled or other packaging, its coding and marking technology has undergone tremendous changes. From the beginning, the inkjet printer was only to indicate the production date of the product, and it has become a basic element of enterprise supply chain management since its development. For consumers, with the popularity of QR codes and smart phones, they can scan the barcodes of purchased products at any time to get more and more accurate product information immediately, so that product information identification is gradually valued and understood by the consumer market. After decades of development, manufacturers have not only realized that the use of more mature labels means product value-added and more market opportunities, but also put forward more complex requirements to the labeling technology. Especially the beverage, food and other industries that rely on high-speed production lines are constantly launching new challenges to the existing marking technology! The continuous inkjet technology of inkjet printers is based on excellent integration with existing production lines and clear and stable inkjet quality. Since the late 1970s, more and more manufacturers have chosen continuous inkjet coding ( CIJ) equipment. While being favored, they often face many challenges. The continuous speed-up of the production line, the repeated increase in the number of printing lines, the complication of the coded content...All these actively promote the progress of CIJ technology. In the past, under the high-speed production demand of 2,000 cans per minute, conventional inkjet printers could not do anything to print multiple lines of information. Therefore, manufacturers have to sacrifice line speed and rely on branch lines to ensure output and label quality. This is undoubtedly worse for companies with meager profits. With the continuous development of business needs, how to ensure label production without affecting output and cost has once become a bottleneck for enterprise development. Today, more and more companies are beginning to apply coding technology to digital marketing, interacting and dialogue with customers. Usually, the company assigns a unique code to the packaging. After the customer purchases the product, they log on to the company's official website to enter the code, and then participate in the lottery promotion activities of the product. A series of links run through by the small code not only increased product sales, brought considerable page views to the company's official website, improved brand awareness, and also accumulated considerable customer information for the company. In the future, coding and marking will still carry many expectations. Consumers hope to obtain more information from the coding to make shopping more satisfying; retailers hope to use coding to further effectively regulate the management of the supply chain; and manufacturing companies hope to continuously increase output, optimize equipment efficiency, and ultimately maximize corporate benefits . Tracing back to the source, the first step to make all expectations come true is for the manufacturer to choose the most suitable labeling partner for its product line to create a safe, convenient, secure, and high-value-added label.
