Why choose an ICE TIJ?

Combining high performance and speed with extraordinary reliability and flexibility

Our TIJ printers have been designed for the modern factory, with minimal maintenance requirements and no manual intervention required to ensure that the inkjets are ready to print whenever they are needed. Our TIJ printers achieve exceptional high contrast prints, facilitated by the quality ink which can be provided with next day delivery by the Aftercare team to keep your production running at full speed. Ultimately our TIJ printers provide exceptional performance at the lowest possible cost of ownership.

How does a TIJ printer work?

As is in the name, thermal inkjets, uses electricity to produce thermal energy, AKA heat, to warm the ink and create a bubble of air within the ink cartridge. This displaces the ink and pushes it towards the edges of the cartridge where a number of nozzles are located, which help determine the print quality and print arrangement.

As the ink droplets are forced through these nozzles it contacts the material underneath and is transferred into the appropriate pattern, leaving a code or print. When the electrical charge is dropped from the cartridge, the air bubble dissipates and causes a vacuum that draws ink back so that it is ready for the next print. For this reason, TIJ printers are sometimes called bubble jet printers and offer a quick and relatively simple way of coding products.
