Machined or formed metal parts may require different codes to meet internal or external traceability requirements. When specifying the best solution for a range of performance and application challenges, working with partners who offer a wide range of inkjet solutions and have integrated expertise can be beneficial.

Laser printer and small character printer (CIJ) are still two more commonly used identification technologies for metal parts. Vidig's laser wavelength options provide greater flexibility to match a given material. CIJ inkjet printer is easy to integrate and can be used on many kinds of metals. It is an ideal solution for inkjet on curved or concave surfaces. VDJ also provides mil spec ink to meet specific military and aerospace requirements.
