What Problems Does Online Laser Marking Solve for Inkjet Printers?
A comprehensive breakdown of how continuous/flying laser marking systems replace traditional continuous inkjet (CIJ) technology on high-speed production lines.
The primary
value of Online Laser Marking (Flying
Marking) lies in completely resolving a series of pain points inherent to
traditional Continuous Inkjet Printers (CIJ) on high-speed assembly
lines—specifically consumables
dependency, frequent maintenance, and easily tampered markings.
By upgrading the marking process from 'physical ink deposition' to 'laser
photo-thermal/photochemical reaction', it fundamentally revolutionizes how
product identifiers (such as production dates, batch numbers, and QR codes) are
applied in automated production.
1. Solving Core Pain Points of Traditional Inkjet Printers
|
Comparison Dimension |
Traditional Inkjet Printer (CIJ/TIJ) |
Online Laser Marking (Fly Marking) |
Core Problem Solved |
|
Consumables Cost |
Requires continuous purchase of ink, solvents, and cleaning agents. |
Zero consumables (only consumes electricity). |
High ongoing operational & procurement expenses. |
|
Equipment Maintenance |
Nozzles clog easily; requires frequent cleaning & filter replacements. |
Maintenance-free / Minimal maintenance (stable optical structure). |
Production line efficiency loss due to frequent downtime. |
|
Marking Durability |
Easily wiped off with alcohol/solvents, or worn off over time. |
Permanent mark (physical / chemical etching). |
Counterfeiting, product diversion (grey market), and date tampering. |
|
Environment & Safety |
Ink contains Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) with strong odors. |
Clean and non-toxic (only requires a dust/fume extraction unit). |
Environmental non-compliance & cross-contamination in food/pharma. |
|
Adhesion & Versatility |
Poor adhesion on ultra-smooth, oily, or specialized materials. |
Broad adaptability (by matching different laser wavelengths). |
Difficulty marking smooth PET, metal, or high-polymer materials. |
