Yes. A SHICAI desktop coder marks metal, plastic and cartons with fast-dry ink at 2-12.7 mm height, so a single bench unit handles components, bottles and boxes. The metal-body G12 holds position steadily, which helps registered marks on small parts better than a free handheld.
For very curved items, hold or fixture them; the TIJ jet still bridges a small gap.
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.
