What is the difference between inkjet printers and printers and marking machines

In the marking industry, people often use inkjet printers, printers and marking machines to refer to marking equipment. They are actually different types of products. The differences between inkjet printers and printers and marking machines are as follows: 1. Inkjet coding Machine equipment Inkjet printer is a kind of equipment that is controlled by software and uses non-contact method to mark products. According to the working principle, it can be divided into small character inkjet printer, large character inkjet printer, and thermal foam inkjet printer. , UV inkjet printers, etc. Thermal foam inkjet printers and UV inkjet printers are high-resolution inkjet printers, which can print various variable data in real time, including barcodes, QR codes, date and time, shift group numbers, and calculations. Software, graphics, tables, databases, etc. 2. Coding machine equipment Coding machine generally refers to mechanical coding machine equipment. The body is small and can be directly installed on the labeling machine. It is driven by a motor. The coding is realized by using metal characters to hit the ribbon to stamp the information. To the label. The main types of coding machines on the market include ribbon coding machines, pneumatic coding machines, ink wheel coding machines, etc. The coding machines mainly print simple content such as letters and numbers such as production date and batch number. 3. Marking machine equipment Marking machines are mainly divided into three types: pneumatic, laser, and electric corrosion. The pneumatic marking machine is controlled by a computer. The printing needle makes high-frequency impact movement under the action of compressed air, so as to print out the material on the workpiece. A certain depth of marking; laser marking machine uses a laser beam to make permanent marks on the surface of various materials. The effect of marking is to expose deep materials through the evaporation of surface materials, thereby engraving exquisite patterns, trademarks and texts; Corrosion marking machines mainly print fixed trademarks, just like stamping, but it is inconvenient to change the printing content. In daily life, inkjet printers, printers, and marking machines are all broad concepts. Sometimes people call inkjet printers or marking machines, or laser marking machines as laser jets. Code machine, laser code machine.
