What is the Bentsai B85 and what makes it different from other handheld inkjet printers?

The Bentsai B85 is a wide-format handheld inkjet printer that uses Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) technology. What sets it apart is its ability to print characters up to 92mm tall using four modular print heads that can be used individually or stitched together for seamless wide-format output. It supports both water-based (aqua) and solvent-based inks, making it suitable for porous and non-porous surfaces alike. It is designed for both handheld use and inline conveyor line integration.

What is the maximum print height of the Bentsai B85?

The Bentsai B85 can print characters from 2.5mm up to 92mm in height. With all four print heads combined via stitch printing, the maximum print area reaches 92mm tall by 2100mm long. This makes it one of the largest print widths available in a handheld inkjet printer, ideal for marking large cartons, utility poles, steel structures, and building materials.

Does the Bentsai B85 support both aqua (water-based) and solvent ink?

Yes. The Bentsai B85 supports both ink types. Water-based (aqua) ink cartridges are recommended for porous and semi-porous surfaces such as corrugated cartons, cardboard, wood, fiberboard, and textile sacks. Solvent-based ink cartridges are designed for non-porous and semi-porous surfaces such as plastic packaging, glass bottles, metal plates, aluminium foil, and cables. You choose the right ink type based on the surface you are printing on.

What surfaces can the Bentsai B85 print on?

The Bentsai B85 can print on a wide range of industrial surfaces, including corrugated boxes, wooden crates, woven bags, cement pipes, utility poles, metal plates, aluminium foil, plastic bags, glass, fiberboard, steel keels, cables, and more. With aqua ink it handles porous surfaces, and with solvent ink it handles non-porous and smooth surfaces.

What resolution does the Bentsai B85 print at?

The Bentsai B85 prints at a standard resolution of 300 DPI (dots per inch). This resolution is sufficient for producing sharp text, clear logos, readable barcodes, and scannable QR codes. The printer also offers gray level options from 1 to 10, allowing you to adjust print density based on the surface material.

How fast can the Bentsai B85 print?

The Bentsai B85 supports a maximum print speed of 60 metres per minute when used in inline conveyor mode. In handheld mode, the speed depends on the operator. The combination of high speed and 300 DPI resolution makes it suitable for high-volume production and logistics environments where both accuracy and throughput matter.

How many lines of text can the Bentsai B85 print at one time?

The Bentsai B85 supports multi-line printing from 1 up to 40 lines of text in a single pass. This makes it ideal for printing complex coding content such as product name, batch number, manufacturing date, expiry date, weight, barcode, and QR code all in one operation.

What types of content can the Bentsai B85 print?

The Bentsai B85 can print text, numbers, symbols, logos and images (JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP), dates and times, real-time counters, variable data from a database, QR codes, Data Matrix (DM) codes, multiple barcode formats (Code 128, Code 39, EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A, ITF-14, and more). It is a highly versatile coding and marking solution for industrial, commercial, and logistics use.

What ink cartridge colours are available for the Bentsai B85?

For water-based (aqua) ink, the available colours are black, cyan, magenta, yellow, and green. For solvent-based ink, the available colours are black, cyan, magenta, yellow, white, and green. Each cartridge contains 42ml of ink and slots into one of the four independent print head positions. White solvent ink is particularly useful for printing on dark or opaque surfaces.

Can the Bentsai B85 do multi-colour printing?

Yes. The Bentsai B85 supports multi-colour stitch printing. Because it has four independent ink cartridge slots, you can load different ink colours into different positions and print them side by side or stitched together in a single pass. Each colour operates independently, giving you flexibility for branding, colour-coded product marking, and decorative coding.

Is the Bentsai B85 suitable for use on a production conveyor line?

Yes. The Bentsai B85 includes a photoelectric sensor port that allows it to be connected to a conveyor system for automatic inline coding. When a product moves along the conveyor and triggers the sensor, the printer fires automatically. This makes it ideal for automated production lines in manufacturing, food processing, logistics, and packaging operations.

Can I use the Bentsai B85 as a standalone handheld printer without connecting to a conveyor?

Yes. The Bentsai B85 is designed for both handheld and inline use. In handheld mode, the operator holds the printer against the surface and triggers printing manually. The printer includes a positioning plate accessory to help align the print head accurately during handheld operation. This makes it very convenient for warehouse marking, spot coding, and on-site printing tasks.

What is the battery life of the Bentsai B85?

The Bentsai B85 is powered by four 18650 lithium-ion batteries with a combined capacity of 6000mAh, providing up to 8 hours of operating time on a single charge. This makes it practical for a full working shift without the need to recharge during production. Charging is done via a USB-C 9V/5A power adaptor.

What is the touchscreen size and operating system of the Bentsai B85?

The Bentsai B85 features a 5-inch Full HD touch screen that provides a clear and intuitive interface for creating, editing, and previewing print templates. The printer runs on a Linux operating system with 4GB of embedded memory for storing print templates and files. It supports multilingual operation covering English, Chinese, German, French, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and many more languages.

What connectivity ports does the Bentsai B85 have?

The Bentsai B85 is equipped with a USB-A port for importing and exporting files from a USB flash drive, a USB-C port for charging, a power port, a sensor port for connecting the photoelectric sensor for conveyor line integration, a beacon port, and an encoder port. There is no built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on the standard unit, so file transfer is handled via USB.

What file formats does the Bentsai B85 support for image printing?

The Bentsai B85 supports JPG, JPEG, PNG, and BMP image file formats. You can design your logo or image on a computer, transfer it to the printer via USB flash drive, and print it directly onto your products. This is useful for printing branded labels, product images, warning icons, and custom graphics.

What industries is the Bentsai B85 most suitable for in Malaysia?

The Bentsai B85 is widely used in Malaysia across the following industries: carton and packaging manufacturers, building materials and construction, pipe and cable production, food and beverage packaging, logistics and warehousing, furniture and wood products, agricultural product packing, and general manufacturing. It is particularly popular for printing manufacturing dates, batch codes, weight information, and regulatory compliance markings.

Is the Bentsai B85 certified and compliant with international standards?

Yes. The Bentsai B85 has been granted more than 50 patents and has passed multiple international certifications including CE, RoHS, FCC, KC, and IEC.

How does the Bentsai B85 compare to the Bentsai B80?

Both the B85 and the B80 are wide-format handheld inkjet printers in the same product family, sharing similar form factors and print head configurations. However, a key difference lies in ink compatibility. The B85 supports both water-based (aqua) ink and solvent-based ink, making it suitable for a wider range of surfaces including non-porous materials such as plastic, glass, metal, and aluminium foil. The B80, on the other hand, only supports water-based (aqua) ink, which limits it to porous and semi-porous surfaces such as cartons, wood, and fabric. If your application involves printing on non-porous surfaces or you need the flexibility to switch between ink types, the B85 is the recommended choice. Both models feature a 5-inch touch screen, inline conveyor compatibility, and multi-line printing support.
