What is the difference between small character inkjet printer and handheld inkjet printer?

Small character inkjet printer is also known as the continuous inkjet printer, that is the CIJ printer. Small character inkjet printer is a non-contact inkjet printer, which is generally matched on the production line or configured on the conveyors; The handheld inkjet printer is also known as the portable inkjet printer, which is a convenient inkjet printer. You can carry printing, light, easy to operate. However, due to the need for manual printing operations, the printing speed of the hand-held inkjet printer is slow, which is only suitable for small production, such as small batch carton inkjet (such as temporary printing when the warehouse is out of warehouse).

Then what is the essential difference between small character inkjet printer and handheld printers?

1.Design and appearance: On-line small character printers are generally larger than handheld printers and can be installed on the production line, while handheld printers are smaller, lighter and suitable for hand-held use. The operating panel of an online small character inkjet is usually larger than a handheld inkjet because it needs to display more information.

2. Application scenario: Online small character inkjet printer is usually used in large-scale production lines, such as food, beverage, pharmaceutical and other industries. They can be printed on a variety of materials, such as glass, metal, paper, plastic, etc. The hand-held inkjet printer is usually suitable for small enterprises or unstable production environment scenarios, such as off-site sales, on-site maintenance, etc.

3.The printing principle is different: the on-line small character inkjet printer is a nozzle, forming ink droplets, under the action of an electric field to form words, ink droplets need to be charged. The hand-held inkjet printer commonly uses thermal foaming printing technology, and some use DOD large character electromagnetic valve control printing technology.

4.Different types of printable characters. The characters printed by the small character inkjet printer are dot matrix characters, and the handheld inkjet printer can choose dot matrix and solid characters.

5.Different ink supplies: online small character inkjet printer needs ink and needs to be equipped with solvent, handheld inkjet printer is a single ink cartridge or ink tank.

6. The height of the printing characters and the application of the production line are different: the height of the CIJ printing characters is only about 15mm, and the single printing speed is fast, suitable for mass production. The handheld inkjet printer has two types of font, dot matrix and entity, the height is large, can be used on the outer box of the product, mainly mobile flexibility does not require a production line or conveyor belt. In short, online small character inkjet printers and handheld inkjet printers are both effective inkjet solutions, but they differ in terms of design, functionality and application scenarios. Therefore, when choosing the inkjet equipment, you need to consider your specific needs, and choose the most appropriate inkjet equipment according to your own situation.
