PRINT SPEED:

Early TIJ systems could only print at speeds of up to 30 m per minute. That’s no longer the case. CIJ still prints at greater speeds than TIJ, but TIJ can now print at around 100 m per minute. That’s more than fast enough for c. 90% of production lines.

MAINTENANCE

TIJ has always won on maintenance. TIJ printers require zero servicing and minimal cleaning. If there’s a problem, you simply change the ink cartridge, which takes seconds. CIJ printers are far more complex. They need frequent cleaning and regular maintenance by trained technicians, causing more production downtime.
