The Markoprint X1 Jet printer from Code Tech is a compact and powerful thermal inkjet (TIJ) printing system designed for different applications such as food and beverage, chemical, timber pharmaceutical, and other industries. This small system is an independently operating printhead that integrates seamlessly into various production lines.
