A full charge gives 16+ hours of intermittent use – easily a full shift of warehouse, dispatch or rework coding. SHICAI handhelds use a rechargeable pack with a simple charge-between-shifts routine, so the device is ready whenever a box, pallet or component needs a mark.
For all-day high-volume use, keep a second charged pack on hand; the models differ mainly in pack size and runtime, not in print quality.
A full charge runs 16+ hours, enough for a full shift of intermittent coding in a warehouse or dispatch area.
The interface ships in multiple languages (English, Spanish, Arabic and more), with handwriting input for one-off marks.
Operators like that there is no purge, no make-up fluid and no daily startup routine; you charge it, pick a stored message and print.
Key points:
- SHICAI handheld inkjet printers cover a print height of 2-12.7 mm at 300×600 DPI and connect over USB 2.0.
- Onboard storage holds 50 MB – roughly 30,000 saved messages – so operators switch between SKUs without a PC.
- A 42 ml fast-dry cartridge prints on cartons, plastic, metal, pipe and curved surfaces, drying in 2-5 seconds.
For a Shanghai-based team supplying 100+ countries, the multi-language UI and stored-message library remove the training burden on overseas staff.
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.
