What if this was the only maintenance your marking and coding system needed?

Legacy CIJ systems often require operators to spend valuable production time managing printheads, filters, pumps, solvents, and ink circulation. That's time your team could be spending keeping the line moving.

Modern cartridge-based thermal inkjet keeps things simple.

Snap in a new cartridge and get back to production. No pumps. No filters. No ink recirculation. Just clean, reliable marking designed for today's fast-moving production lines.

• High-resolution text, barcodes, QR codes, lot and batch numbers, and more
• Faster startups and product changeovers
• Cleaner operation with less operator intervention
• More uptime and reliable product coding

When your coding system is designed around production instead of maintenance, your team can focus on what matters most—keeping products moving.

06/25/2026

For pet food manufacturers and co-packers, the cost of product coding is often judged by the ongoing cost of ink, cartridges, and other consumables. But with many legacy CIJ systems, the true cost extends far beyond the price of ink.

It also includes:

• Maintenance time spent keeping equipment running
• Replacement parts and ongoing service requirements
• Operator involvement and production interruptions
• Downtime that impacts throughput and productivity

When these factors are considered, the lowest consumable cost doesn't always translate into the lowest total cost of ownership. That's why many pet food manufacturers are turning to lower-maintenance coding technologies designed to simplify operation and reduce downtime. They're looking for systems that:

• Keep production lines running
• Reduce maintenance demands
• Simplify operation
• Deliver consistent coding performance

That's why reliability, simplicity, and uptime often have a greater impact on operating costs than consumable cost alone.

AMI's zero-maintenance, German-engineered TIJ systems help pet food manufacturers reduce maintenance demands, simplify operation, and support efficient multi-SKU production with consistent, high-resolution coding.

For pet food manufacturers and co-packers, managing multiple SKUs is challenging enough without coding equipment slowing production down. Different brands, packaging materials, and coding requirements add complexity to production operations. Yet for many facilities using traditional CIJ printers, maintenance requirements, clogged printheads, cleaning cycles, and product changeovers can lead to unnecessary downtime, production delays, and higher operating costs.

The reality for many facilities is:

• Production downtime caused by maintenance demands and printer-related issues

• Clogged printheads and coding failures that disrupt throughput

• Increased labor, maintenance expenses, and total cost of ownership

• Lost productivity across multi-SKU production lines

As product variety continues to grow, many pet food manufacturers are re-evaluating the impact product coding has on overall efficiency.

In fact, one of the top 10 pet food companies in the United States recently made the switch to AMI's zero-maintenance, German-engineered TIJ printing systems to help simplify operations, reduce maintenance demands, and support high-volume multi-SKU production.

Food co-packers don't have time for coding equipment that demands constant attention. When production schedules are tight and multiple SKUs are running across the same line, every unplanned stop creates a ripple effect across operations.

For facilities relying on traditional CIJ and legacy coding systems, common challenges often include:

• Production schedules disrupted by unexpected printer downtime
• Lost output and increased operating costs when lines stop running
• Valuable maintenance hours spent servicing coding equipment
• Coding systems that struggle to keep pace with frequent SKU changes
• Aging coding equipment creating bottlenecks across the production line

AMI's cartridge-based TIJ printing systems simplify coding by eliminating many of the maintenance requirements associated with traditional printers. With no pumps, filters, or makeup fluids to manage, every cartridge change provides a fresh printhead and helps keep production moving.

05/28/2026

Between different packages, substrates, and colors, changing SKUs, and maintaining strict traceability requirements, clear and reliable product coding is critical. For many operations relying on legacy printers, recurring maintenance, inconsistent print quality, and unplanned downtime can become part of the daily routine.

That often means:

• Downtime tied to recurring maintenance
• Poor or inconsistent date, lot code, and barcode quality
• Constant operator adjustments
• Messy operation and cleaning demands
• Production slowdowns tied to coding reliability

We recently explored how Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) technology is helping contract packagers improve print quality while reducing common frustrations associated with traditional printing systems.

05/21/2026

Downtime, inconsistent print quality, and messy CIJ maintenance continue to be common pain points in chemical packaging environments, especially when running pigmented inks across high-volume production lines.

We recently worked with a chemical packaging operation that was dealing with many of those same challenges, including constant cleaning, print instability, and frequent maintenance interruptions.

After transitioning to a cartridge-based Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) system, the operation saw major improvements in:

• Production uptime and throughput
• Print clarity and code consistency
• Maintenance reduction
• Overall day-to-day efficiency

The transition also helped reduce VOC exposure, eliminate messy print environments, and simplify compliance requirements across their operation.

We recently outlined the full case study and operational impact seen after the migration from CIJ to TIJ technology.

Chemical co-packing environments don’t leave much room for inefficiency. Between changing products, different packaging materials, and customer-specific requirements, coding systems need to be flexible without creating extra maintenance and downtime.

That’s why more manufacturers are exploring Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) technology as an alternative to traditional CIJ systems.

TIJ systems offer:

• Cleaner, high-resolution print quality
• Faster changeovers between jobs
• Reduced maintenance and cleaning
• Reliable coding for traceability and compliance

We recently broke down how co-packers are simplifying product coding with TIJ technology.

Why More Contract Packagers Are Moving from CIJ to TIJ

Contract packagers need flexibility, uptime, and clean variable coding for the packages they produce. While continuous inkjet (CIJ) has been the workhorse for years, it also brings its fair share of headaches: low-res prints, time consuming changeovers, high maintenance, and open ink systems that cause ink leakage and make a mess on the production line.

That's why more co-packers are switching to modern thermal inkjet (TIJ) from Automated Marking. Here's what they're getting:

Better Print Quality
TIJ delivers crisp prints up to 600 dpi, ideal for high-quality small characters. and GS1-grade barcodes. Perfect for customers who expect instant legibility and future-proofing for 2D barcodes.

Real Flexibility
Need a different ink or color? Swap the cartridge and go. No flushing. No backup printers. No drama.

Minimal Maintenance
Every new cartridge is a new printhead. No filters, cores, solvent flushes, service contracts, cleaning ink spills. Operators can manage everything on the line.

Cleaner & Safer
TIJ uses sealed cartridges, no open solvents needed. No hazardous-material handling, no odors, no special storage, and no solvent cleaners.

Lower Real Operating Cost
Yes, CIJ has low "cost per print," but downtime, service plans, hazardous waste handling, and complexity all add up. TIJ often wins on total cost of ownership.

If you're a contract packager rethinking your coding setup, TIJ will give you better print, fewer headaches, and a more uptime.
