Inkjet Printing Systems overview
Trend offers a range of economical inkjet coding systems for small and large character printing. Inkjet printing is ideal for non-contact marking of variable production information onto a variety of products.
Inkjet coding ejects drops of ink a short distance onto the product surface in dot-matrix format, printing the programmed message without contact as the product is moving. Therefore the product needs to be conveyed past at a relatively consistent height and speed.
Inkjet printing is used for coding a variety of information onto products or packaging as the item is conveyed past on a production line or packing machine. An inkjet prints electronically - using valves or nozzles to eject ink drops a short distance.
Messages can be fixed or variable, with automatically updating batch numbers, date coding & serial numbering - or just a plain text message. The coders can then be programmed to print a serial number, use-by date, shift code, batch or lot number, real-time or current date.
There are two main types of inkjets available depending on your marking application.
Small Character Inkjet coders
Small printing from 1.5 - 3.2mm high. Suitable for printing smaller items such as pharmaceutical jars, drink bottles, small varnished cartons. Low cost alternative to continuous inkjet coders

Large Character inkjet coders
Large bold prints ranging from 7.9 - 44.5 mm. Most suitable for non-contact coding of carton shippers or other large items.

MagicPin budget dot-peen system
Trend Marking Systems has released a series of budget dot-peen marking systems known as MagicPin.
They are a lower-cost alternative to the standard Pinmark range as they are manufactured without expansion opportunities like loading/deloading mechanisms or 3rd-axis rotation marking.
As such - German-made quality is not lessened but price is lower!

4700 Ink released
The new 4700 ink has been released for the EVOLUTION-1 inkjet systems, featuring a dry-time of 1-3 seconds on materials such as metal and plastic.
This ink lets this sub-2K printer handle applications traditionally reserved for expensive continuous inkjet printers (CIJ) while reducing consumable cost and maintenance.
Printing Glass Bases
Trend's Hot QuickCoder was successful in providing a solution to print on the base of glass jars with a use-by date.
The application is manual - an operator loading the jars into a basic jig - with the HQC unit printing from underneath on the slightly domed base with a white colour.

Egg carton printing
Trend have installed multiple Evolution inkjet printers to replace old labelling machines.
Evolution inkjets were chosen because of their low purchase cost (14 printing heads were required) and low operating cost (high-volume but low-cost products) as well as simplicity of installation and excellent reliability.
