DOD Large Character Inkjet Printer - Industrial-grade high-speed coding solution

The T16 Series All-Aluminum Shell DOD Large Character Inkjet Printer is engineered for reliability and high performance in harsh industrial settings. Built with a fully aluminum alloy casing and utilizing advanced Drop-on-Demand (DOD) technology, this printer delivers crisp, durable codes at speeds of up to 60 meters per minute. It offers unparalleled flexibility with both ketone-based and water-based ink cartridges, making it the ideal coding solution for a vast range of materials and industries, from food and beverage to logistics and construction.

1. Industrial-Grade All-Aluminum Enclosure

The robust all-aluminum shell provides superior protection against dust, moisture, and physical impact, ensuring long-term reliability and reduced downtime in challenging factory environments. This construction offers a significant advantage over cheaper plastic-bodied competitors.

2. Reliable DOD Inkjet Technology

The patented Drop-on-Demand (DOD) technology ensures precise ink droplet placement for sharp, high-quality codes without contact with the product. This guarantees consistent print quality at high line speeds and eliminates the risk of product damage.

3. Superior Print Performance & Flexibility

• High-Quality Marking: Produces clear, smudge-resistant alphanumerics, barcodes, and graphics.

• Adjustable Print Height: The rotating print head allows for easy adjustment. The T16-107 model (7 nozzles) covers 10-20mm, while the T16-207 model (16 nozzles) handles larger codes from 25-50mm.

• Versatile Fonts & Graphics: Supports multiple TTF fonts (Arial, SimSun, KaiTi, etc.), dot matrix fonts, and 24-bit color BMP images for dynamic branding and identification.

4. Flexible Ink System & Easy Maintenance

Choose between ketone-based (fast-drying on non-porous surfaces) and water-based (eco-friendly for porous surfaces) ink cartridges. This simple, plug-and-play cartridge system minimizes operator intervention and reduces maintenance time.

5. Intuitive Operation & Connectivity

• 7-inch Capacitive Touchscreen: The user-friendly interface, powered by a stable Linux OS, allows for quick setup and operation.

• Advanced Data Handling: Supports variables like multi-digit counters, real-time clock (with seconds), and expiry dates. Import data easily via USB (TXT/XLSX formats).

• Seamless Integration: Equipped with an RS232 interface and a free-port communication protocol for easy connection to PLCs, scanners, and factory automation systems.

• T16-107 (7 Nozzles) - Cost-Effective Choice

  • Print Height: 10mm - 20mm

  • Application Scenario: Perfect for printing small to medium-sized characters, such as production dates, batch numbers, expiration dates, simple logos, or 1D barcodes. Widely used in industries like food, beverage, pharmaceuticals, electronic components where high printing precision is required but large print height is not a primary need.

• T16-207 (16 Nozzles) - Large Character Multi-Function Choice

  • Print Height: 25mm - 50mm

  • Application Scenario: Designed specifically for printing large information, such as large characters, multi-line text, complex logos, large 1D barcodes, and QR codes. Commonly found in industries like building materials, chemical pipelines, logistics warehousing, large outer packaging cases that require long-distance identification.

Q1: Is the T16 Series suitable for use in humid workshop environments?

A: Yes. Its all-aluminum alloy casing provides excellent sealing, effectively protecting against dust and moisture, making it very suitable for humid workshops like food processing and beverage filling plants.

Q2: How should I choose between ketone-based and water-based ink?

A: Ketone-based ink dries quickly, has strong adhesion, and is suitable for non-absorbent surfaces like plastic, metal, and glass. Water-based ink is environmentally friendly, odorless, and suitable for absorbent surfaces like cardboard and wood. Our team can provide recommendations based on your specific material.

Q3: Can the printer connect to my production line automation system?

A: Absolutely. The T16 Series comes standard with an RS232 interface and supports a free-port communication protocol, allowing easy integration with PLCs, computers, or main production line control systems for automated coding.

Q4: What is the main difference between the T16-107 and T16-207?

A: The core difference lies in the print height. The T16-107 is suitable for small character printing, while the T16-207 is suitable for large characters and taller information. Please select the model based on the actual size of the identification needed on your product.

Q5: Is the device maintenance complicated?

A: Not complicated. DOD technology itself is highly reliable, and replacing the ink cartridge is as simple as replacing a printer cartridge. The user interface provides clear maintenance prompts, greatly simplifying daily upkeep.

The T16 Series DOD Large Character Inkjet Printer, with its industrial-grade rugged design, outstanding printing performance, high flexibility, and user-friendliness, has become a trusted identification device for global distributors and end-users. Whether you need to mark dates on small packages or print traceable codes on large boxes, the T16 Series provides accurate, reliable, and cost-effective solutions.
