Continuous inkjet offers
With more than four decades of experience in Continuous Inkjet (CIJ printer) innovation, Markem-Imaje offers a line of continuous inkjet inks together with a line o f wax-based, edible hot-melt inks that are FDA, EU, and kosher compliant. For incidental food contact with packaging, a line of inks is also available. Designed for maximum uptime and ease-of-use, our CIJ range simplifies daily activities and makes your coding process seamless.
We offer a full range of proprietary inks to match your date coding on food requirements with a full range of compliant food grade and food contact inks including MEK-free options with reduced VOCs, all designed to improve your TCO. Our consumables range includes blue and pink food grade inks e.g. for egg coding on both white and brown shells, thermochromic inks that change color upon temperature change and resist sterilization, as well as high-adhesion (smudge-proof) and condensation-resistant inks, ideal for marking date codes on food.
9330
CIJ printer designed for light to medium duty production lines, the 9330 series offers versatility, cost-effectiveness and longevity, covering all your basic coding needs, with the capacity to print for more than 8,000 hours non-stop.
9450
Primed for medium to heavy production loads, the 9450 features Intelli’inks design, making set-up clean and automatic, maximizing your production uptime and OEE. The 9450 coder prints high-resolution codes 20% faster than similar printers of its generation and is specially primed for food-grade printing, egg traceability, and indirect food contact coding.
9410
Suited to medium to heavy production needs, the 9410 prints multi-line codes in various colors while simultaneously optimizing costs and reducing power and consumables consumption to achieve a lower TCO. Suitable for indirect food contact coding.
9750 E SERIES
Designed for the most challenging, and fast-food packaging printing operations, the market-first 9750 Expert Series of CIJ printers has been innovated to mark tiny surfaces, deliver 2D coding and only requires one type of coder for dye or pigment prints. Fully stainless, the 9750 Expert and Expert + code at line speeds of up to 120,000 units per hour and are suitable for both direct and indirect food contact coding.
9750
Designed for medium to heavy-duty production lines, the 9750 is primed for digitalization and traceability with its unique 24-pin interface. The 9750 is also designed to be less environmentally-impactful with its easy-to-use, modular format, IntelliDesign and consumables-saving function. Suitable for direct food contact and indirect food contact coding.
2D code solutions
2D codes have already become an indispensable method of connecting your products to the Internet, facilitating vast amounts of product data and customisation possibilities. They are also simultaneously becoming essential to comply with new regulations and standards, especially concerning traceability, including for the GS1 Digital Link, Digital Product Passport and regulations. The advantages of 2D codes for boosting brand loyalty through the supply chain are unrivaled. The possibilities for promoting sustainability efforts, packaging design efficiencies, and retail process optimisation are enviable.
With the GS1 set to begin phasing out 1D barcodes in favor of 2D codes like the QR and DataMatrix from 2027, at Markem-Imaje, we have GS1 Digital Link-compliant 2D codes at the heart of our innovations from our coding hardware, vision solutions to software solutions.
