Introduction
Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) printers have become an indispensable tool in the pharmaceutical industry, offering precise, high-resolution coding and marking solutions. Integrating TIJ printers into pharmaceutical production lines can significantly enhance efficiency, traceability, and compliance. In this blog post, we’ll explore the key considerations and benefits of integrating TIJ printers into your pharmaceutical operations, with a focus on Videojet’s solutions.
Why TIJ Printers for Pharmaceutical Lines?
TIJ printers offer numerous advantages for the pharmaceutical industry:
- High-Resolution Printing: TIJ printers can print small, detailed codes, including barcodes, Data Matrix codes, and alphanumeric characters.
- Versatility: They can print on a wide range of substrates, including paper, cardboard, plastic, and glass.
- Durability: TIJ-printed codes are resistant to smudging, fading, and other environmental factors.
- Flexibility: TIJ printers can be easily integrated into existing production lines and can print variable data like batch numbers, expiration dates, and lot codes.
- Low Maintenance: TIJ printers require minimal maintenance and downtime.
Key Considerations for Integration
-
Printer Selection:
- Printhead Configuration: Choose a TIJ printer with the appropriate number of printheads to meet your specific needs.
- Ink Type: Select an ink that is compatible with your substrates and regulatory requirements.
- Connectivity: Ensure the printer can communicate with your production line systems, such as PLCs and SCADA systems.
-
Line Integration:
- Mechanical Integration: Position the printer(s) strategically within the production line to ensure optimal print quality and minimal downtime.
- Electrical Integration: Connect the printer to the power supply and control systems.
- Software Integration: Configure the printer’s software to match your specific coding requirements and production line speeds.
-
Validation and Compliance:
- Validation: Validate the printer’s performance to ensure it meets regulatory standards and industry best practices.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensure the printer and its ink meet regulatory requirements, such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11.
