Options To Choose From With ID Coders

By Keren Kipfer


The world of id coders is vast, and there is no one-size-fits-all type of coder out on the market. The type of id coder that you select depends upon your product and what type of coding you need to place on your products. Here is some basic information about a few types of coders that you might need for your business.

To begin with, coder brands offer a wide assortment of different types of coders and there are many different brands. A Domino coder, a Willett coder, a Videojet coder or perhaps an Imaje printer or Altima coder are some of brand names that you might have heard about.

Within these brand names, you also must choose the type of coder that you need. You might need a continuous inkjet coder or CIJ printer. You might need a drop on demand printer or DOD coder. There are also thermal inkjet coders, binary inkjet coders and even print and apply coders.

You also need to consider whether you need to print small or large characters as there are coders that print specific sizes of coding. For instance a small water bottle might need smaller type, while a large section of PVC pipe would need larger printing. In addition, the type of material on which you are printing also affects your printer choice. Some printers work better on porous materials while others easily can print on slicker surfaces such as plastic or glass. You need a printer with extremely fast-drying ink that will not smudge or smear.

In addition to all of these requirements, it is important to note that each type of id coder, such as a Willett coder or a Domino coder needs specially formulated ink and make-up fluids. Each machine has ink created specifically for that machine, so when you purchase replacement inks, such as Domino inks or Videojet inks, you need to make sure that you are purchasing the correct ink for your specific coder.

Naturally, as they are complicated pieces of machinery, these coders have a larger price tag. A great way to save on huge expense is by purchasing a refurbished coder, such as a used Videojet printer or a used Altima coder or Domino printer. PrintJet is a company that sells refurbished coders at low prices while also formulates generic versions of Domino inks, Videojet inks and other major brands. Just like the name brands but without their high price tag is what these specially formulated inks and make-up are made of. Look into refurbished coding equipment as well as buying generic inks.
