2 Ink jet printing
Ink jet printing enables contact-free marking to identify, date or customize a product.
Imaje printers use the "deflected continuous jet" principle with dot-matrix type characters.
2.1 Matrix printing
Each symbol (letter, digit, punctuation mark, etc.) is contained within a rectangular area known as
a "matrix", which is divided into columns known as "trames" and which has a defined height and
width
Example: 7 × 6 matrix - 16 × 12 matrix
The first digit is the number of dots per trame and the second digit is the number of trames per
matrix.
