How to choose the right inkjet printer for your customer

How to choose the right inkjet printer for your customer

Oct 15, 2025

Imagine this: your client is an electronic component manufacturer who has just expanded their production line, and they're frowning over a stack of inkjet printer quotes – should they choose CIJ or DOD? Will UV ink corrode precision components? Can the printer keep up with a speed of 300 pieces per minute? Or, another client is a food processing plant owner, struggling with whether the inkjet printing is resistant to low-temperature freezing, whether it can print on eggs, and whether it meets FDA food contact standards... Do these scenarios sound familiar?

 

For many sales representatives or inkjet printer maintenance engineers, helping clients choose the right inkjet printer is like walking a tightrope: balancing cost and performance while adapting to specific industry requirements (such as sterility in the medical industry, high-temperature sterilization in the canning industry, or adhesion in the cable or pipe industry). A single misstep could shut down the client's production line or lead to compliance issues. But choosing the right one can not only help clients improve efficiency and reduce losses, but also make you a "knowledgeable and reliable" partner in their eyes. In this blog post, we'll break down the core logic of "choosing the right inkjet printer for your client," transforming you from a "product recommender" into a "solution expert."

Types of inkjet printers Core principles Advantages Limitations  Typical application scenarios
CIJ character inkjet printer High-pressure ink forms tiny characters (1-5mm) through nozzles. High speed (up to 1000 bottles/minute), low consumable costs The characters are small (maximum 5mm), and the nozzle requires regular maintenance. Beverage bottles, mineral water bottles, and pipes (continuous production line high-speed inkjet printing)
DOD inkjet printer Solenoid valve controls ink ejection (7-100mm characters) Large characters, suitable for rough surfaces (such as cement pipes). Slow speed (≤30 m/min), high material consumption Large pipes, sheets, and containers (large-size signage)
High-resolution inkjet printer Piezoelectric printheads deliver ink on demand (similar to printers). High resolution (300-600 DPI), supports complex patterns/QR codes Medium speed (≤300 bottles/minute), high requirements for material adhesion. Cosmetic tubes, electronic components (high-resolution graphics, variable data)
Laser marking machine Laser beam ablation/etching creates permanent markings on surfaces. No consumables, permanent labeling (tamper-proof), simple maintenance High initial cost, unable to print in color Metal parts, pharmaceutical packaging (high adhesion, traceability requirements)
Thermal transfer coding machine The carbon ribbon is transferred to the substrate through the thermal print head. Clear labeling (suitable for paper/film), no ink smudges Slow speed (≤150 packs/minute), requires replacement of carbon ribbon

Food packaging bags, express delivery waybills (paper/film flexible materials)

 

Choosing an inkjet printer is never as simple as "ordering based on specifications"—it requires a deep understanding of the customer's business processes, industry compliance, and future growth needs. When you can help customers avoid the misconception that "expensive is always better" and find equipment that not only fits their current production line but also supports their business expansion for the next three years, your relationship with the customer will upgrade from a mere "transaction" to "long-term trust."

This is precisely the original intention of the KSF brand: we not only provide a full range of high-precision inkjet printers covering CIJ, DOD, and UV technologies, but also possess over 10 years of customized service experience across various industries (electronic components, rubber gloves, food and pharmaceuticals, etc.). From needs assessment to equipment commissioning, from ink formula matching to 24-hour after-sales support, KSF's professional team is always by your side and your customer's side.

Act now—contact the KSF consulting team and let us work together to create a "tailor-made" inkjet printing solution for your customers, using precise and stable inkjet technology to help their products stand out in the market!
