Frequently Asked Questions

• This depends on the technology. For TIJ we offer different types of solvent-based, water-based, and food-grade ink. For piezo we have oil and solvent-based ink.

Oil-based inks are odorless and offer the advantage of being more resistant to water and lighter than water-based inks. Solvent-based inks are used as the carrier for the colorants, and the solvent evaporates during printing. The advantage of these inks is that they adhere to a wider range of materials.

Our printers are ready for use right out of the box. Installation and set-up could be done in 10-15 minutes (depending on the production line).

With RN Mark printers, customers can mark and code variable data, lot/batch numbers, production dates, barcodes, shifts, logos and images, dynamic databases, dynamic barcodes such as Data Matrix, external info from barcode scanner, scales etc. on practically any surface.

To ensure optimal performance of your RN Mark printer, we do not recommend purchasing ink from other suppliers as their inks might not be compatible with our machines.

Unfortunately, this switch cannot be made because of  incompatibility with the print engine. 

Many companies cannot print below freezing. But we’ve got you covered. We have a special ink which could print even below 0 Celsius.

Objects should be moving in order to be printed on. A conveyor is the most common and standard mechanism, which creates the movement required for the printing process. You could use any movement as well as friction feeder or demo tables.
