Product introduction
Short description
The T260E single-head TIJ printer is a compact online coding system for production lines. It prints text, dates, batch numbers, serial numbers, barcodes, QR codes, DataMatrix codes, graphics, and database-driven content within a nominal 12.7 mm print height.
Product overview
The T260E uses TIJ 2.5 thermal inkjet technology to provide clean, high-resolution coding with simple cartridge replacement and low routine maintenance. It is suitable for cartons, labels, paper packaging, coated materials, and selected non-porous surfaces when the correct ink cartridge is used.
The industrial control platform supports product sensors, encoders, USB, network communication, RS232, and alarm output. It can be mounted on a conveyor or integrated into an existing packaging line.

Ink and material selection
Water-based inks are suitable for absorbent materials such as paper and uncoated cartons. Solvent and specialty cartridges may be selected for suitable coated or non-porous surfaces. The material, drying time, adhesion, color, and regulatory requirement must be confirmed before ink selection.
Integration and automation
The T260E can work with a product sensor, encoder, conveyor, external alarm, database, and production-line controls. It is suitable for distributors, machine builders, and factories that need a compact online coding unit.
