In the automotive industry, component failure can mean life or death. As such, significant attention is given to traceability, and inkjet printers and laser markers—which can print reliably even without coming into contact with targets—have been used for many years.
In recent years, common component usage has increased, resulting in increased use of high-visibility inkjet printers capable of printing identification numbers and rank marks to prevent incorrect assembly.
The ability for inkjet printers to print clearly and vividly regardless of shape or material has given rise to usage even outside the automotive industry, including with metals, wood, and resins.
