Questions & Answers (FAQ) about Inkjet Printers – Cartridge Systems

This depends on production volume and the amount of ink used per label, however the machine will give you advance warning when it is time to replace the cartridge.

You can also calculate the number of prints per cartridge via the Integra Command software., which makes planning easy.

Cartridge systems work on many different materials, such as plastic, cardboard, metal, glass, paper, wood, etc. They are particularly versatile and adaptable to different production environments.

No, a cartridge system requires minimal maintenance. Since there are no complex ink tanks or tubes to clean, maintenance is quick and easy.

A cartridge system is designed to minimize downtime, as cartridges can be quickly and easily changed without interrupting production, increasing efficiency and productivity.

There is a printhead called non-stop printing which means there are two cartridges on one printhead. When one runs out, the other takes over, allowing you to change the empty cartridge without stopping production.

Cartridge systems offer ease of use, quick changes and high performance, making them ideal for businesses looking to maximize efficiency in their production.

Let's dive deeper into how a cartridge system works and how it can help your business.

How an ink marking cartridge system works

A cartridge system is a type of ink management system used in industrial inkjet printers. Instead of having complicated ink tanks and piping systems, cartridge systems use ink cartridges that are easy to replace and maintain. The technology is cleverly designed to provide a consistent ink supply, ensuring that your markings are sharp and clear – every time.

Technically, a cartridge system works by connecting the ink cartridge directly to the print head. When the print job starts, the ink from the cartridge is sent through the print head, where small ink droplets are sprayed with high precision onto the product. This method minimizes the risk of ink spillage and prevents the print head from clogging, making the cartridge system one of the most reliable systems for industrial marking.

Simple and efficient coding with user-friendly cartridge systems

Using a cartridge system machine is simple and efficient. You load the cartridge into the machine in just a few seconds and then program the information you want to code – whether it’s barcodes, batch numbers or best-before dates. The machine automatically detects when a cartridge needs to be replaced and warns you in advance, allowing you to plan replacements without having to interrupt production.

Cartridge systems are also very user-friendly, as you don't have to deal with complicated ink systems. You get consistent results without having to worry about cleaning ink tubes or adjusting ink flow.

Industries and applications for cartridge systems

Cartridge systems are versatile and are used in many different industries, where clear and durable coding is crucial. Some examples of industries and products where cartridge systems are used are:

The food industry

Marking of packaging with best-before dates, barcodes and batch numbers.

Cosmetics industry

Marking of bottles and jars with product information and serial numbers.

Pharmaceutical industry

Precise and durable marks on medicine packaging, ampoules and cartons.

Electronics industry

Marking of small components and packaging with barcodes and QR codes.

The manufacturing industry

Marking of industrial parts and packaging for inventory management and traceability.

Advantages of cartridge systems

With a cartridge system you get a number of advantages that make marking smooth and cost-effective. Here are some of the biggest advantages:

  • Easy to use: Replacing the ink cartridges is quick and easy, reducing downtime and making the system easy for operators to manage.
  • Less maintenance: Because the cartridge system does not require complex ink tanks or tubes, the need for regular maintenance and cleaning is reduced.
  • High quality: The markings are always sharp and clear, with consistent ink flow and high.
  • Flexibility: Cartridge systems work on a variety of materials and surfaces, making them useful for many types of products.
  • Cost effective: By reducing maintenance and downtime, you save both time and money over time.
