IJP stands for inkjet printing, a non-contact digital printing process that creates images by precisely spraying microscopic droplets of liquid ink onto a substrate. Industrial IJP systems are heavily used for variable data printing, such as barcodes, mailing addresses, and personalized direct mail, because they require no physical plates and can change the image on every single impression.

Insider tip
Industrial IJP is generally divided into continuous inkjet (CIJ) and drop-on-demand inkjet (TIJ), each suited for different production speeds and substrates.
