Step away from the line and come back ready to go. The Forge Inkjet holds standby power for up to 20 hours so it's always ready when you are.

Charging is straightforward with the included power supply. No proprietary cables, no complicated dock — just plug in and you're charging.

Award Winning Ratings From TrustPilot

Print quality is amazing

"The print quality is excellent and the battery life is as advertised. Took me about an hour to figure out all the settings for date codes but once I got it dialed in it's been flawless. Would recommend to anyone needing a reliable handheld coder — just give yourself a little time to learn the interface."

Handles EVERYTHING we throw at it

"We print on cardboard, plastic wrap, and glass all in the same day. One printer, three surfaces, zero issues. Being able to swap ink colors in seconds without any mess or downtime is huge for us. Really impressive piece of equipment

Replaced our label printer easily

"We used to use label printers which constantly jammed and cost a fortune in label rolls. Switched to the Forge Inkjet and haven't looked back. Print directly onto the box, no labels, no waste, no jams. Paid for itself within the first month."
