T16 Series All-Aluminum Shell DOD Large Character Inkjet Printer:
Reliable Coding for Demanding Industrial Environments
In today's fast-paced industrial production, reliable, efficient,
and adaptable large character inkjet printing is crucial. The T16
Series All-Aluminum Shell DOD Inkjet Printer is engineered for this
very purpose, combining a rugged design with advanced inkjet
technology to deliver superior printing performance and stability
across various industries.
Key Features & Competitive Advantages
1. Rugged All-Aluminum Shell Construction
The T16 series features a full aluminum alloy shell, providing more
than just a modern industrial aesthetic. It offers exceptional
protection against dust, oil, and minor impacts common in harsh
factory environments. This robust build ensures long-term, stable
operation and significantly extends the equipment's lifespan,
reducing total cost of ownership.
2. Reliable DOD (Drop-On-Demand) Inkjet Technology
Utilizing advanced DOD technology, ink drops are generated on
demand, ensuring precise control. This delivers several key
benefits:
High Clarity: Produces sharp, legible, and durable codes, even at high
production line speeds.
High Speed: Achieves maximum printing speeds of up to 60 meters per minute, meeting the demands of most high-speed production lines.
High Efficiency: On-demand printing significantly reduces ink waste, lowering your
operational costs.
3. Flexible Ink and Printhead Configuration
Dual Cartridge System: Operators can choose between ketone-based or water-based ink cartridges based on substrate material (e.g., cardboard,
metal, plastic) and required drying speed, ensuring optimal
adhesion and performance.
Two Printhead Options:
T16-107 (7 Nozzle): With a print height of 10-20mm, this model is a cost-effective
solution ideal for printing batch numbers, expiration dates,
medium-small characters, and simple 1D barcodes. Perfect for food,
beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.
T16-207 (16 Nozzle): Offering a larger print height of 25-50mm, this model supports
large characters, multi-line messages, and complex graphics like
large barcodes and QR codes. It meets the needs of the
construction, chemical, and logistics sectors.
4. User-Friendly Operation and Interface
7-inch Capacitive Touchscreen: A responsive and intuitive interface makes operation simple,
minimizing training time and potential errors.
Powerful Editing Features: Supports multiple TTF fonts (Arial, SimSun, etc.) and dot matrix
fonts. It can print bitmap images and includes counter and
time/date (with seconds) variables, making it easy to handle "best
before" dates and sequential numbering.
Easy Data Import: Use a USB drive to directly import .TXT and .XLSX files for batch
content updates, saving significant time.
Ample Storage: Features 3GB of usable storage space and supports message lengths
of up to 2 meters.
5. Seamless Integration
Equipped with an RS232 interface and an open communication
protocol, the T16 can be easily integrated with PLCs, computers, or
main production line control systems for automated operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the main difference between the T16-107 and T16-207
models?
A1: The primary difference is the print height range. The T16-107
is designed for small to medium characters (10-20mm), while the
T16-207 is for large characters and complex graphics (25-50mm).
Choose based on the size requirement of your product
identification.
Q2: How do I choose between ketone-based and water-based ink?
A2: Ketone-based ink dries quickly and has strong adhesion, making
it suitable for non-porous surfaces like plastics and metals.
Water-based ink is more environmentally friendly and is ideal for
porous surfaces like cardboard and wood. Select based on your
product material and factory environment.
Q3: Is the printer easy to integrate with our existing production
line?
A3: Yes. The T16 series comes with a standard RS232 communication
interface and an open communication protocol, allowing for easy
connection with PLCs, computers, or production line control systems
for automated coding.
Q4: How is the print height adjusted?
A4: The T16 series features a rotating printhead. The printing
height on the product is easily adjusted by physically rotating the
head, making the process straightforward.
