TIJ vs CIJ Egg Printer: Which Should You Choose?

TIJ (Thermal Inkjet) offers high resolution (300–600 DPI), clean plug-and-play cartridges and low maintenance, ideal for crisp dates, barcodes and QR. CIJ (Continuous Inkjet) runs continuously at very high speed and excels on irregular surfaces but needs more upkeep (ink/solvent system).

  • Choose TIJ for resolution, low maintenance and variable data.
  • Choose CIJ for maximum speed and uninterrupted inline operation.

Many egg lines use TIJ as the default and reserve CIJ for the fastest grading lines.

Why SHICAI: Against rubber stamps and stick-on labels, the SHICAI Six Nozzle Egg Coding Machine wins on speed, cost per egg and individual-egg traceability.
