CONTROL PRINT LIMITED | AUGUST 13, 2024
Businesses are always looking for methods to save operational expenses without sacrificing quality in today’s competitive marketplace. The optimization of printing technology is one such area where substantial savings can be obtained. Control Print’s Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) coding technology provides an attractive alternative for businesses looking to reduce printing expenses without sacrificing output quality. This blog will explore Control Print’s TIJ technology strategies for reducing the overall printing costs for various industries.
Understanding TIJ Coding Technology
Widely used in a variety of industries, thermal inkjet (TIJ) technology heats the ink in the cartridge to form bubbles that create dots on the print surface This process is known for its high-precision, high-quality quality well and requires minimal maintenance. The TIJ systems of Control Print are particularly valuable because of their ease of integration, flexibility, and versatility on a variety of substrates.

Key Strategies to Optimize TIJ Technology
1. Cartridge Utilization Efficiency
Optimizing Cartridge Use: One of the most direct ways to reduce costs is by maximizing the efficiency of cartridge usage. Cartridge-based technology makes the Control Print TIJ virtually maintenance and failure-free. Cartridges typically contain most of the parts prone to failure, including the print head and ink system. With TIJ you only need to replace the ink cartridge with a new one to get the printer running again, a procedure that takes less than a minute
Extended Cartridge Life: Our proprietary, 230 ml cartridges have several advantages over standard 42 ml cartridges. Large capacity brings costs down. These options allow for longer use between cartridge changes, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
2. Print Head Maintenance and Longevity
Routine Maintenance Protocols: Regular maintenance of print heads ensures consistent print quality and extends their lifespan. Implementing routine cleaning protocols can prevent clogging and other issues that lead to costly replacements.
3. Advanced Software Integration
Print Management Software: Utilizing advanced print management software can help monitor cartridge usage, print head performance, and overall printer efficiency. This data-driven approach allows for precise adjustments and better resource management.
Variable Data Printing: Control Print’s TIJ technology supports variable data printing, which is essential for industries like pharmaceuticals where each product needs unique identifiers. Optimizing this capability reduces waste by ensuring that only the necessary information is printed, directly onto packaging or labels.
4. Energy Efficiency
Low Power Consumption: TIJ printers are generally more energy-efficient compared to other types of printers. By selecting energy-efficient models and optimizing printer settings to minimize power usage, businesses can further reduce operational costs.
Standby Modes: Implementing standby or sleep modes when printers are not in use can lead to significant energy savings over time.
Conclusion
Optimizing Control Print’s TIJ technology offers a pathway to significantly reduce printing costs while maintaining the high print quality essential for various industries. By focusing on efficient cartridge usage, regular maintenance, advanced software integration, and energy efficiency, businesses can achieve cost-effective, high-quality printing solutions. As industries continue to evolve, the ability to adapt and optimize printing technologies will remain a key competitive advantage.
