Bentsai E61P Industrial Inkjet Coding Printer – The All-in-One Solution for Malaysian Production Lines
The Bentsai E61P is an all-in-one thermal inkjet (TIJ) coding and marking printer built for inline industrial applications. Whether you are printing expiry dates on food packaging, batch numbers on pharmaceutical cartons, QR codes on corrugated boxes, or barcodes on cable labels, the E61P delivers consistent and high-quality prints with zero maintenance and no ribbons required.
Exclusively available in Malaysia through PTS Technology Sdn Bhd, the Bentsai E61P is ideal for manufacturers, food producers, pharmaceutical companies, packaging companies, and logistics operators who require a reliable, low-cost-of-ownership coding solution.
All-in-One Design with 4.3-Inch Touch Screen The Bentsai E61P integrates the control unit and printhead in a single compact body weighing just 460g. The built-in 4.3-inch HD touch screen allows operators to create, edit, and manage print messages directly on the device without needing a separate computer or external software. Its Linux-based operating system is stable, fast, and easy to use.
Supports Both 0.5-Inch and 1-Inch Cartridges
By simply swapping the printhead plate, the Bentsai E61P can accommodate both 0.5-inch (12.7mm) and 1-inch (25.4mm) ink cartridges. This dual-cartridge compatibility effectively gives you two printers in one machine, offering maximum production flexibility. With the 0.5-inch cartridge, resolution reaches 600dpi at up to 60m/min. With the 1-inch cartridge, the maximum print height doubles to 25.4mm at up to 30m/min.
Protruding Printhead for Curved Surfaces
An optional flat printhead plate allows the E61P's printhead to extend outward by 7mm, making it ideal for coding on curved surfaces such as bottle necks, cans, and round containers. This versatility makes the E61P suitable for beverage, personal care, pharmaceutical, and agricultural chemical industries.
Flexible Rotating Bracket for Narrow Conveyors
The Bentsai E61P includes a rotating bracket that can be angled to accommodate narrow or hard-to-reach conveyor lines. If the printer is accidentally bumped or impacted during operation, the rotating bracket absorbs the impact and swings away, protecting the device from damage.
Wide Material Compatibility
The E61P supports both water-based and solvent-based ink cartridges. Water-based inks are suited for porous substrates such as paper, corrugated cardboard, wood, and fiberboard. Solvent-based inks adhere to non-porous substrates including plastic, glass, metal, aluminium foil, and cables. Ink colours available include black, cyan, magenta, yellow, white, and green depending on ink type.
Rich Print Content Support
The Bentsai E61P supports a wide range of print content types including text, numbers, images, logos, barcodes (Code 128, Code 39, EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A, ITF 2 of 5, ITF-14), 2D codes (QR Code, GS1 DM), date and time stamps, sequential counters, and database-linked variable data. Image formats supported include JPG, JPEG, PNG, and BMP. Multiple font types are available including true type fonts and dot-matrix fonts.

The Bentsai E61P supports a wide range of print content types. For text, it supports adjustable font sizes from 2.5mm to 36.5mm, text rotation at 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees, horizontal and vertical mirroring, and text scaling from 50% to 150%. For codes, it supports QR Code, DataMatrix, and GS1 DataMatrix in 2D formats, and Code 128, Code 39, EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A, and ITF (2 of 5) in barcode formats.

It also supports sequential counters with automatic increment or decrement, logos and images in JPG, JPEG, PNG, and BMP formats, and database-linked variable data printed from CSV or TXT files via USB.
What are the print resolution and print speed options for the Bentsai E61P?
The Bentsai E61P offers two resolution settings: 300 DPI and 600 DPI. At 300 DPI with a 0.5-inch cartridge, the maximum print speed is 60 metres per minute, with a minimum speed of 20mm per second. At 600 DPI with a 0.5-inch cartridge, the minimum speed is 10mm per second and the maximum speed varies depending on the grey level selected. With a 1-inch cartridge, the maximum print speed is 30 metres per minute at 300 DPI. The grey level is adjustable from 1 to 10, allowing you to control ink density based on your substrate type. The print direction can be set to either left-to-right or right-to-left.
How do I install the Bentsai E61P on a production line conveyor?
The Bentsai E61P supports two installation orientations. For downward printing, use 2 pieces of M4 x 16 screws to secure the printer mount base to the mounting holes marked for downward printing. For sideward printing, mount the printer base using the holes designated for sideward printing. The printer also has X-Y fine tuning module mounting holes for precise position adjustment. An optional rotating bracket and anti-shock bracket are available as accessories. The rotating bracket is recommended for narrow conveyors and provides impact protection — if the printer is accidentally hit during operation, the bracket rotates to absorb the impact and protect the device.
How do I switch the Bentsai E61P between 0.5-inch and 1-inch ink cartridges?
To switch between cartridge sizes, you need to replace the printhead panel. First, shut down the printer completely before starting the replacement — this is mandatory. Then unscrew the 4 pieces of M2.5 x 8 screws on the front panel and remove the existing panel. Install the new panel for the desired cartridge size (either the standard panel or the optional flat protruding panel) and screw it back in securely. The 0.5-inch panel allows print heights of 2.5mm to 12.7mm with up to 5 lines and resolution up to 600 DPI, while the 1-inch panel allows print heights of 2.5mm to 25.4mm with up to 10 lines at 300 DPI.
Does the Bentsai E61P require a computer or external software to operate?
No. The Bentsai E61P is a fully standalone all-in-one printer that operates independently without any computer or external software. It has a built-in 4.3-inch HD LCD touch screen running on an embedded Linux operating system. All print editing functions including adding text, QR codes, barcodes, images, dates, counters, and database-linked variable data can be performed directly on the device's touch screen. The device stores up to 128MB of internal memory, which can hold approximately 3,000 print messages. Print jobs can be saved, renamed, recalled, and managed using the built-in Job Management function, including Group Printing which allows multiple saved jobs to be printed in a specified sequence.
What triggering methods does the Bentsai E61P support?
The Bentsai E61P supports two triggering methods. The first is photoelectric sensor triggering (Sensory Mode), where an external optical sensor detects the product passing on the conveyor and automatically triggers the printer to fire. The sensor port is a dedicated port on the back of the unit. The second is continuous printing mode, where the printer fires repeatedly at a set interval and count without needing a sensor trigger. In continuous mode, the print count can be set from 1 to 999,999 times and the print interval can be set from 0 to 2,000mm. The print delay can be adjusted from 0 to 500mm to synchronize the print position accurately with the product on the conveyor.
What languages does the Bentsai E61P system interface support?
The Bentsai E61P system interface supports 29 languages: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, German, Arabic, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Italian, Portuguese, French, Hindi, Thai, Persian, Turkish, Indonesian, Slovenian, Serbian-Croatian, Czech, Bulgarian, Romanian, Polish, Greek, Hungarian, Ukrainian, Slovak, and Burmese. The language can be changed at any time through the System Settings menu using the Language Settings option. Note that the available languages may vary depending on the machine version and region.
How do I print an expiry date with an automatic offset on the Bentsai E61P?
On the Bentsai E61P, go to the Print Editing interface, tap Add, and select Time. You can enable both Date and Time independently or together. Select your preferred date format from 19 available options such as YYYY/MM/DD, DD/MM/YYYY, YYYY-MM-DD, YYYYMMDD, and others. Enable Auto Update so the date automatically updates each day without manual editing. To set an expiry date that is a fixed number of days ahead of the printing date, use the Expiry function — the maximum offset is 7,300 days and the minimum is 1 day. The effective date offset (from when the timer starts) can be set up to 20 years, 12 months, 31 days, and 1 hour. Both Gregorian and Julian calendar formats are supported.
How do I print sequential batch numbers or lot numbers using the counter function on the Bentsai E61P?
On the Bentsai E61P, go to Print Editing, tap Add, and select Number. You can configure either Automatic Increment or Automatic Decrement. For increment mode, set the Start value (minimum value), the Current value (starting print value), and the Stop value (maximum value). For decrement mode, set the Start value (maximum), Current value, Stop value (minimum), and the Step change value. The numbering format can be set to display with or without leading zeros - four format options are available including 0001, and the cycle count can repeat up to 100,000 times before resetting. Font size, type, rotation, spacing, mirroring, and scaling settings are all independently configurable for the counter element.
Can the Bentsai E61P print variable data from a database or Excel file?
Yes. The Bentsai E61P supports database-linked variable printing. To use this function, first prepare your data in Microsoft Excel or WPS Spreadsheet, then save it as a CSV file in UTF-8 format or as a Unicode TXT file. Name the file using letters or numbers only. Copy the file to the database folder on a USB drive and insert the USB drive into the printer. In the Print Editing interface, tap Add and select Database, then choose from Variable Text, Variable QR Code, or Variable Barcode. The system can recognise up to 5 columns per file, with a maximum of 20,485 rows per column. You can set the starting and ending rows for the print run. This feature is ideal for printing unique serial numbers, product-specific QR codes, or individual batch records from a pre-prepared list.
How do I add custom or third-party fonts to the Bentsai E61P?
The Bentsai E61P comes with two built-in fonts: Yahei.ttf (Microsoft YaHei) and Song.ttf (SimSong). To add custom or third-party fonts, download the font file in TTF format and copy it into the fonts folder on a USB drive. Insert the USB drive into the printer and wait a few seconds for the font to install. Note that external fonts can only be used while the USB drive remains connected to the printer — do not remove the USB drive during printing. The font will be available for selection in any text, date, number, or database element within the Print Editing interface.
How do I perform nozzle cleaning and maintenance on the Bentsai E61P?
The Bentsai E61P has three built-in nozzle maintenance functions accessible from the Device Maintenance menu. For Nozzle Cleaning, place the printhead in contact with a printing surface and tap Nozzle Clean to purge the nozzles and restore print quality. For Nozzle Moisturizing, place the printhead against a surface and tap Nozzle Wet to keep the nozzles hydrated, which is recommended when the printer has not been used for an extended period. For Nozzle Testing, use the Print Test Page function to verify that all nozzles are firing correctly, a test page with a QR code and barcode pattern will be printed. The ink parameters including pulse width and voltage are automatically detected when a cartridge is installed and do not need manual adjustment.
What are the power and environmental specifications for the Bentsai E61P?
The Bentsai E61P operates on DC 9V at 2A output, with an input power adapter accepting AC 100-240V — suitable for Malaysian electrical standards. The working temperature range is 5°C to 35°C with humidity between 10% and 80%. The storage temperature range is 0°C to 45°C (some specifications indicate up to 55°C for storage) with the same humidity range. The printer weighs 460g and has a body dimension of 155mm x 61mm x 115mm, making it one of the most compact industrial inline TIJ printers available. The status LED uses a colour-coded system: green indicates the printer is ready, blue indicates it is currently printing, and red indicates an alarm or error condition.
