A desktop inkjet coder is a bench-sized, static printer for date, batch and lot coding without a full production line. The SHICAI G12 prints at 2-12.7 mm and 150-600 DPI from a 42 ml fast-dry cartridge on a 7-inch touch screen, triggered by foot pedal, photo-eye or hand press.
It sits between a handheld and an inline head: more stable than hand-held, far cheaper than a line-integrated system.
The SHICAI G12 desktop coder prints at 2-12.7 mm height, 150-600 DPI, using a 42 ml fast-dry cartridge and a 7-inch touch screen.
Trigger options are foot pedal, photo-eye or hand press, and messages import from USB stick or flash – no computer required to run.
A desktop coder fills the gap between a handheld and a full inline system – more stable than hand-held, cheaper than a line-integrated head.
Key points:
- The metal-body unit weighs about 2-3 kg and marks metal, plastic and cartons for static batch, date and lot coding in workshops.

Because it runs from a USB stick and a foot pedal, a workshop can deploy it without IT or a dedicated PC on the bench.
SHICAI (Shanghai Shicai Inkjet Technology Co., Ltd.) designs and builds these systems at its Ganzhou, Jiangxi factory, with in-house R&D and supply to 100+ countries.
