Continuous inkjet offers
With more than four decades of experience in continuous inkjet (CIJ) innovation, Markem-Imaje has a full range of coders for all metal marking and printing on rubber and plastic industrial parts requirements. Our vast ink portfolio, including high-performance and competitively priced MEK-free inks, makes Markem-Imaje CIJ printers the most flexible and one of the most reliable on the market today. Designed for maximum uptime and ease of use, our CIJ range simplifies daily activities and makes your printing process seamless.
Markem-Imaje has a complete MEK-free inks portfolio designed for metal marking or coding on plastics or rubber and is one of the few manufacturers to lower volatile organic compound emissions (VOCs) for MEK-free inks.
- Our consumables cut use and VOCs by up to 40-60%, and by up to 35% for inks with MEKs in consumable-saving mode.
- Black, white, orange, blue, green, red, yellow, and silver inks that ensure code contrast, adhesion, and resistance, regardless of substrate type (LSZH, PP, PE, PVC).
- The 9750 E Series specialty non-migrating inks meet the most challenging applications and storage conditions including resistance to high levels of heat, UV-light, automobile fluids, underwater conditions, and vulcanization.
9330
Designed for light to medium-duty production lines. The cost-efficient 9330 will cover all your basic industrial parts marking needs with up to five-line codes.
9750
Designed for medium-duty production lines. Our next-generation 9750 range delivers clear, customizable, traceable black or colored codes, including 2D codes (QR and DotCodes).
9750 E SERIES
Designed for the highest production needs and the most complex coding applications. The 9750 E+ provides additional flexibility and convenience via a revolutionary ink circuit. It provides both standard codes or pigmented contrast printing.

SmartLase C600
Laser printer for high-speed and demanding rubber coding needs, the SmartLase ® C600 delivers superb code quality and more power, all in an easy-to-integrate and easy-to-operate industrial grade unit, optimized for a variety of interfaces.
SmartLase F250
Laser printer for high speed, crisp, permanent coding on a variety of challenging substrates and diameters. With its high uptime and OEE, SmartLase ® F250 20-watt fiber laser lowers your operating expenses and the environmental impact of your marking.
SmartLase UV500
Laser printer for high-speed and the highest-quality coding with minimal heat transfer, the SmartLase ® UV500 5-watt UV laser is perfect for marking the most challenging materials.
Thermal inkjet offers
The Markem-Imaje range of thermal inkjet printer series or TIJ printers offer high-quality compliant barcodes by heating ink that is highly accurately transferred even onto moving 2D or 3D surfaces, contact-free. They require little maintenance and excel on intermittent or low to mid-volume production lines. (Metal and plastic industrial parts offer only)
1050
Our 1050 thermal inkjet (TIJ) printer offers precision print control at exceptional value-for-money producing codes from 12.7 mm to 50.8 mm high and can print readable 1D and 2D barcodes.
1200
The Markem-Imaje 1200 thermal inkjet (TIJ) printer allows you to meet GS1-compliant requirements in both 1D and 2D barcodes and offers print heights from 50.8 mm to 203 mm.
Valvejet offers
The Markem-Imaje valvejet large character printers use drop-on-demand inkjet technology known as piezo and are ideal for compact or hard-to-access spaces and low-resolution marking.
4700
Our robust 4700 large character valvejet coder offers one or two-sided printing at unmatched value with its numerous low-resolution text and logo options.
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.
