Revolutionizing Shelf-Ready Packaging: Domino Unveils Cx150i Piezo Inkjet Printer for Non-Porous Substrates

In a bold step toward redefining how brands code and label their packaging, Domino Printing Sciences has unveiled its newest innovation : the Cx150i Piezo Inkjet (PIJ) Printer, designed specifically for high-resolution printing on coated, non-porous, shelf-ready packaging.

Traditionally, printing durable, clear, and compliant codes on glossy or laminated packaging has posed significant challenges especially in the food sector where material safety, durability, and ink compatibility are non-negotiable. Enter the Cx150i a solution engineered with precision to solve these exact issues while keeping sustainability at its core.

Designed for the Demands of Modern Retail

Today’s retail environment is shifting away from plain brown boxes to visually compelling, branded secondary packaging. These new materials non-porous and often coated require printing solutions that can withstand the rigors of the supply chain without compromising code legibility.

The Cx150i answers this call with :

  • Large-area, high-resolution printing (up to 600 dpi)
  • Capability to print fine Asian character sets and dense GS1-compliant 2D barcodes, including QR codes
  • UV-curable inks with excellent scratch and rub resistance
  • GMP and EuPIA-compliant ink options for food-safe packaging

Smart, Sustainable, and Compliant

What sets the Cx150i apart is its low-impact, eco-conscious design. The use of LED curing reduces energy demands, while its smart ink pouch system minimizes waste. Plus, the system is virtually maintenance-free with no need for factory air, ink purging, or regular cleaning.

And because regulatory compliance is key in food and pharma, the inks used in the Cx150i are developed with global standards in mind safe, sustainable, and reliable.

Built for Industry 4.0 Integration

The Cx150i isn’t just another printer it’s a connected powerhouse. It can function as a standalone printer or become part of a closed-loop verification system with Domino’s automated vision technologies. Integration with ERP systems, label creation software, and packaging lines is seamless, thanks to full Industry 4.0 compatibility.

Optional cloud-based services give manufacturers real-time visibility into printer performance, uptime, and usage vital in today’s data-driven operations.

By launching the Cx150i, Domino reaffirms its position at the forefront of coding innovation. As Paul Clarke, Domino’s Director of Printers & Consumables, puts it:

“We’re offering manufacturers a low impact, high-performance coding solution for modern shelf-ready packaging one that delivers print clarity, durability, and compliance without compromise.”

Backed by Domino’s global service network, the Cx150i is not just a printer it's a complete solution for brands aiming to meet the evolving demands of both compliance and consumer appeal.

For businesses ready to level up their packaging, the Domino Cx150i is more than a smart investment it’s a statement of innovation.
