What is a TIJ Handheld Printer?
A TIJ (Thermal Inkjet) Handheld Printer is a portable industrial printing machine used to print variable information directly onto products and packaging. Unlike traditional printing methods, a handheld printer allows operators to print wherever required without installing a fixed production line system.
Using advanced thermal inkjet technology, the printer produces sharp, smudge-free prints while maintaining high printing speed and excellent resolution. It is an ideal solution for businesses looking for a cost-effective and flexible coding system.

A handheld TIJ printer is capable of printing a wide range of information, including:
Batch Number | Manufacturing Date | Product Names | Variable Data |
Expiry Date | QR Codes | Logos | Time & Date |
MRP | Barcodes | Serial Numbers | Text & Alphanumeric Characters |
This makes it suitable for manufacturers who need accurate product identification and traceability.
