RK BC Inkjet Batch Coding Machine (CIJ / TIJ)
Inline Inkjet Coder for Batch Codes, Dates, MRP, Barcodes & QR
Inline variable-data coding, CIJ or TIJ
The BC is an inkjet coder for printing batch numbers, dates, MRP, barcodes, QR codes and logos onto labels, film and cartons. It comes in two forms: continuous inkjet (CIJ) for fast, non-contact coding, and thermal inkjet (TIJ) for high-resolution, low-maintenance work.
It mounts directly onto RK's slitting, inspection and printing lines to code inline, so variable data is added without a separate pass. Exact specifications depend on the line and the substrate, making it a flexible coding upgrade for any label operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the BC and the other Batch Coding Machine machines.
Both. The BC is offered with two inkjet technologies: TIJ (Thermal Inkjet) for high-resolution, low-maintenance cartridge coding up to 600 dpi, and CIJ (Continuous Inkjet) for fast, non-contact coding at full line speed. Choose the head that suits your substrate and throughput, or tell us your job and we'll recommend one.
