Large character printers from RED Jet for LARGE printing tasks
In modern industry, the labelling of products, packaging and components plays a central role. Large character printers, also known as large character inkjet printers (LCIJ), have established themselves as indispensable tools. They enable information such as batch numbers, production data, barcodes or logos to be printed directly onto products or packaging in large, easily legible font sizes - quickly, reliably and economically.
Large character printers are industrial inkjet printing systems that have been developed for labelling surfaces with large-format lettering (usually 10 mm to over 60 mm character height). They are primarily used in industries where information needs to be applied to larger packaging units or materials with rough surfaces - for example in the food, beverage, building materials, chemical or wood industries.
In production, large character printing usually takes place directly on the production line or downstream in the warehouse and in dispatch. It therefore makes sense to use systems that can be used both stationary and mobile as hand printers. TIJ technology makes this possible without any problems.
RED Jet offers a wide range of TIJ labelling systems for printing large characters for a wide
variety of applications.
With the RED TIJ, either 2 production lines can be processed independently of each other in
parallel or combined printing tasks can be carried out on one production line, for example
uninterrupted printing or simultaneous labelling of 2 sides.
The different print heads can also be combined as required to achieve print outputs several
centimetres high.
High legibility: Thanks to the large character heights, imprints are easily recognisable even from a great distance or in poorly lit warehouse environments.
Versatile materials: Large character printers can print on a wide variety of surfaces - from cardboard, wood and plastic to concrete or metal.
Non-contact printing: The inkjet hits the product without mechanical contact - ideal for sensitive or irregular surfaces.
Individual labelling: Serial numbers, variable data and customer-specific texts can be applied automatically.
Integration into production lines: Large character printers can be easily integrated into existing production processes and connected to ERP systems.
Modern large character printers offer numerous technical features:
• High-resolution print heads for razor-sharp logos and barcodes
• Low-maintenance systems with automatic nozzle cleaning
• Water-, alcohol- or solvent-based inks, depending on drying time and adhesion requirements
• Network connection for centralised control and remote monitoring
• Touchscreen operation for simple configuration directly on the production line
Overall, TIJ technology in large character printing impresses with its combination of quality, simplicity, low maintenance and environmental compatibility. It is particularly suitable for applications with variable data and frequent product changes - in other words, wherever flexibility and precision are required.
