Ink Jet Printing
Like a modern-day printer, Ink Jet printing occurs by the wire or cable passing under the printing head where the wire gets marked with either black or white ink. Ink-Jet printing is a non-contact form of printing best suited for cables that have a rough or uneven surface.
Wheel Printing
Opposite of Ink Jet Printing, Wheel Printing is a contact form of printing best suited for cables with smooth surfaces and small gauge wire. In this form of printing a print wheel acts as a large ‘stamp’ and presses a series of characters in black or white ink onto the wire or cable. Wheel printing is a fixed process meaning that different prints will require different wheels.
