What is Printing and Marking?

Printing and marking is the art of engraving letters, symbols, lines, marks, etc. on objects.

On the manufacturing site, various printing and marking are conducted on the products and parts, such as marking of product information and serial number, pass/fail mark, identification mark, etc.Even when any failures are found on products or parts, conducting such printing and marking allows target articles to be traced. The simplest is the method in which a person hand-writes with chalk, etc. However, human errors including mistakes in writing are concerned.Today, devices linked to the host systems, etc. are most commonly used for executing reliable printing and marking.
