HP Inc. launches HP ThermaCore, a thermal inkjet (TIJ) technology that redefines printing performance in Coding & Marking applications. With speed, precision, and adaptability, HP ThermaCore enables manufactures to improve efficiency, meet global coding standards, and reduce operational costs.
As product identification regulations tighten, manufacturers face growing pressure to deliver fast, accurate coding and marking across diverse packaging types. Traditional TIJ solutions often fall short due to limited throw distance, slower speeds, and complex stitching, leading to inefficiencies and production delays. HP ThermaCore aims to address these challenges, helping businesses maintain compliance and improve operational efficiency. With this advancement allows HP to elevate its Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) technology's outstanding value proposition, effectively entering and competing in markets long dominated by ‘Continuous Ink Jet’, ‘Laser’, and ‘Thermal Transfer Overprinting’ technologies.
Advancing Thermal Inkjet Performance
HP ThermaCore represents a leap forward in TIJ technology, enabling three times the throw distance, twice the print swath, and twice the printing speed of previous TIJ generations1. Designed to meet the increasing demands of high-speed packaging and marking applications, HP ThermaCore’s up to 9mm throw distance allows for precise printing on non-flat surfaces, wide-format printing without stitching, and reliable operation in the most challenging production environments.
Meeting Demands of Evolving Industry Standards
As GS1 QR and Datamatrix coding requirements continue to expand globally, HP ThermaCore is designed to keep pace. Its 23mm print swath eliminates the need for stitching, ensuring greater adaptability and efficiency for industries ranging from food and beverage to pharmaceuticals and consumer goods. With printing speeds of up to 120 meters per minute, HP ThermaCore integrates into high-speed packaging and filling lines, ensuring reliability in demanding production environments.
Sustainability at Its Core
HP ThermaCore is engineered for performance and sustainability. The new printhead is made with at 65% recycled plastic in the cartridge body and improves ink efficiency to minimize waste. By combining performance with an eco-conscious design, HP helps drive sustainable innovation in thermal inkjet printing.
Availability & Presence at SinoPack
ThermaCore will be sold direct and indirect to specialty printer OEMs, enabling the development of independent solutions for package coding in fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) packaging lines.
