Small character printers

What is a small character printer?

A small character printer is a type of inkjet printer used to print information like barcodes, logos or text in small sizes.

The terms ‘small character continuous inkjet printer’ or ‘small character CIJ printer’ are commonly used as synonyms for ‘small character printer’.

What are small character printers used for?

Small character printers can be used to print a wide range of information. They are often used to print things like best before dates, batch codes, logos, shift codes, manufactured dates, barcodes or time codes.

Because of their high speed capabilities and compatibility with different inks, small character printers are used to print information on many different products, including electronic components, cables, or pharmaceutical packages. Among the industries that often use small character printers are the pharmaceutical sector, food and beverage as well as electronics.

Advantages of small character printers

Small character printers have several advantages, including the following:

  • They can print a wide variety of information in very small sizes. This includes text, images, logos or barcodes.
  • They are flexible enough to be incorporated into the production line.
  • They can print information at high speed, something that is absolutely necessary with large production lines, where thousands of products need to be marked in a matter of minutes.
  • They are compatible with different types of inks, including washable inks, high-adhesion inks or pigmented inks.
  • They can print information on different surfaces. Because they are compatible with different types of inks, small character printers can print on multiple surfaces, including plastic, metal or glass.
  • They offer high resolution printing results. The type of information that must be printed does not matter, small character printers always guarantee a high resolution printing.

Even though small character printers offer multiple advantages, they cannot print large-size information. For this type of job, a large character printer becomes necessary.
