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 printing on aluminum requirements. Our vast ink portfolio, including high-performance 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 is highly suited to aluminum can, cap, and lid printing in the food and beverage industries. Specialized color-changing inks serve as a visual quality control indicator that metal cans filled with food or drink have successfully completed the high-pressure sterilization process. We also offer inks visible only in UV light as an anti-counterfeiting measure.
We offer a full range of MEK-free inks in multiple colors with both dyes and pigmented inks to match your printing on aluminum needs. Our consumables range includes water-resistant, permanent, food-grade, fast-drying, and thermochromic inks.
9330
Designed for for light to medium-duty production lines. The cost-efficient 9330 will cover all your basic extrusion product coding needs and is available with an extrusion-dedicated yellow semi-pigmented permanent and MEK-free ink.
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 most challenging FMCG coding operations, the market-first 9750 Expert Series of CIJ printers has been innovated to mark tiny surfaces, deliver enhanced 2D messages, including QR codes, and only requires one type of coder for dye or pigment prints.
Laser offers
Our SmartLase ® Fiber, CO2, and UV laser printers, the latter available in 3- or 5-watt models, provide high-quality aluminum printing, whether it is tin can printing, or coding on metal caps or lids, including metalized film lids. With patented Intelli’Arc® scribing, paired with onboard Intelli’Cool®, our lasers deliver crisp, high-contrast codes with greater uptime and reliability than other lasers.

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.
