Your Trusted Source for Industrial Coding and Marking Solutions
Founded in 1992, our company revolutionized the inkjet fluid industry by delivering higher-quality products at significantly reduced costs. We began by offering drop-on-demand ink at $75 per pail, a fraction of the market price, while maintaining superior performance. Over the decades, we expanded our offerings to include advanced coding and marking systems, barcode printers, and case taping equipment, all designed to meet rigorous industrial standards. Our ISO 9001:2015 certification underscores our commitment to quality management, ensuring every product adheres to strict operational and customer satisfaction benchmarks. We prioritize innovation, developing solutions like the CoPilot Max LT with industry-leading throw distance and the JetStream Sonic CIJ Printer capable of 1,200 f/min speeds.Our expertise in UV LED curing systems and laser coders demonstrates our ability to address diverse material marking needs across global markets. We maintain transparency through direct customer engagement, including a dedicated CEO hotline and comprehensive support resources. Our team combines decades of experience in fluid chemistry and industrial printing to deliver reliable, low-maintenance systems that reduce total cost of ownership. We partner with organizations like GS1 US to implement standardized coding practices, enhancing supply chain traceability for clients. Our global presence, with facilities in the U.S., China, and the Netherlands, ensures localized support for international operations.

Services
Hi-Resolution Printers
Our Hi-Resolution Printers deliver precise, high-quality markings for barcodes, batch numbers, and logos on diverse substrates. These systems utilize piezo and thermal inkjet technologies to ensure clarity on porous and non-porous materials. Designed for industrial environments, they offer durability and minimal maintenance requirements.
Laser Coders
Laser Coders provide permanent, high-contrast markings on metals, plastics, and composites without consumables. Our systems include CO2, fiber, and UV laser options for applications requiring precision and longevity in harsh conditions.
Inkjet Fluids
We manufacture specialized inkjet fluids compatible with various printing systems, including mineral oil-free formulations. These inks ensure consistent performance across different substrates while meeting regulatory standards for safety and environmental impact.
UV LED Curing Systems
UV LED Curing Systems rapidly solidify inks on printed surfaces using energy-efficient LED technology. These systems support high-speed production lines and are available in water-cooled variants for demanding industrial applications.
Print Validation Systems
Print Validation Systems automatically verify code accuracy and readability during production. This ensures compliance with traceability standards and reduces errors in packaging and logistics operations.
