The "Thermal Inkjet" process is a type of inkjet printing, with which a print image is transferred contact-free and precisely to the carrier medium using small drops of ink. With thermal inkjet printers, the ink drops are fired out of the print nozzle by heating them up to 300°C. An alternative is the "piezo inkjet" process, in which the drops are transported by mechanical displacement. Since its development in the 1980s, thermal inkjet has been the standard in the industrial sector. It is an established technology because it enables cheap, flexible and fast product identification. Our TJ500 and TJ1000 models offer reliability, quality and accuracy. Both printers are quick to install and easy to use. HOW THE THERMAL INKJET PROCESS WORKS The ink cartridges of thermal inkjet printers have heating elements that generate high temperatures of up to 300°C and thus heat the ink above its boiling point. With the temperature-induced change in the physical state from liquid to gas, the volume of the printing ink expands – a vapour bubble is formed. This results in high pressure, which forces the droplets required for the printing process out of the nozzle. They are delivered with pinpoint accuracy to the carrier material. The ink then cools down quickly and returns to its liquid state. The resulting negative pressure feeds the new ink into the nozzle.
