BENTSAI E61P Inline TIJ Coding Printer for Malaysian Production Lines

The BENTSAI E61P is an all-in-one industrial thermal inkjet (TIJ) printer for automatic inline coding on conveyors and packaging lines. It combines the controller and printhead in one compact unit and supports interchangeable 12.7 mm (0.5-inch) and 25.4 mm (1-inch) cartridge configurations.

The E61P can create batch numbers, manufacturing and expiry dates, text, counters, logos, linear barcodes, QR codes, Data Matrix codes and database-driven variable information. Actual print quality, adhesion and line speed depend on the selected ink, cartridge configuration, resolution, substrate and installation.

Compact all-in-one design with a 4.3-inch touchscreen

The controller, touchscreen and printhead are integrated into a body measuring 155 × 61 × 115 mm and weighing 460 g. Operators can create, save and manage print messages directly on the 4.3-inch HD touchscreen without requiring a separate computer for normal operation. The controller uses a Linux operating system and has 128 MB of storage, listed by the manufacturer as sufficient for approximately 3,000 print messages.

Choose between 12.7 mm and 25.4 mm cartridge configurations

The front printhead plate can be replaced to suit either cartridge size. The printer must be switched off before changing the plate. The maximum height, resolution and speed depend on the installed configuration.

Maximum print size is 12.7 × 406 mm for the 0.5-inch configuration and 25.4 × 406 mm for the 1-inch configuration. Production settings should be validated using the real message, conveyor speed and substrate.

Optional printhead plates for curved or recessed surfaces

Optional protruding or flat printhead plates are available where the standard plate cannot be positioned sufficiently close to a curved or recessed surface. Suitability depends on the product profile, available mounting space and the required 2–5 mm nozzle-to-product distance. A sample installation check is recommended.

Flexible conveyor installation

The E61P supports downward and sideward printing orientations. An optical sensor can trigger the printer as products pass the coding position, while continuous printing mode is also available. Optional rotating, anti-shock and fine-adjustment mounting components can help with narrow or difficult conveyor layouts. These brackets are optional accessories and should be selected according to the installation.

Ink and substrate selection

Manufacturer documentation lists water-based cartridges for porous and semi-porous materials such as paper, corrugated board, wood, fibreboard and cotton. Solvent-based cartridges are listed for semi-porous and non-porous materials such as plastic, glass, metal plate, aluminium foil and cable. Colour availability varies by compatible ink family.

Ink compatibility is application-specific. Coatings, surface treatment, dust, oil, condensation, temperature, production speed and required rub resistance can affect adhesion. Test the selected cartridge on the actual material before production approval.

Batch, expiry-date, barcode, QR code and variable-data printing

The E61P supports text, numbers, images, dates, time, counters and database-linked data. Linear barcode formats include Code 128, Code 39, EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A, ITF 2 of 5 and ITF-14. Supported 2D formats include QR Code, Data Matrix and GS1 DataMatrix. Image files can be imported in JPG, JPEG, PNG and BMP formats, while external TrueType fonts can be used from a connected USB drive.

Variable text, QR codes and barcodes can be prepared in compatible CSV or Unicode TXT files and imported by USB. The manual lists recognition of up to five columns, with one column used at a time and up to 20,485 rows per column.

Important: support for a barcode or GS1-related format does not by itself establish regulatory or customer compliance. Data structure, symbol size, quiet zones, verification, ink suitability and the applicable requirement must be checked separately.

Verified E61P technical specifications

Is the E61P suitable for your production line?

Before selecting the E61P, confirm the required code height, message width, substrate, ink colour, adhesion test, conveyor speed, print orientation, sensor position and available mounting space. Applications involving regulated or customer-specified codes should also define the required verification method and data format.
