How far away from the product can CYCJET continuous inkjet printers print?

For most CYCJET continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers, a distance of 3/16 inch (approximately 4 mm) from the printhead tip to the product is recommended. The closer the printhead is to the product, the smaller the printed characters and the smaller the spacing between ink droplets. When the printhead distance exceeds 3/16 inch, the print height increases, the spacing between ink droplets increases, and the accuracy of droplet placement decreases.
