Printer types in aseptic environment?

[andy_oohhh]

Does anyone know where I can find any standards on type of printers are allowed in a aseptic pharma clean room enviorment?

For example something stating if inkjet is not allowed or is laser only allowed? Or maybe there is no requirements and all printers are allowed?

Thank you!

Sterile or cleanroom? very different.
In general I have seen inkjet used in sterile environments, but selection of ink is a big issue.
In true cleanrooms (particle controlled) they would never use inkjet because of the aerosols.
Even laser etch would need to be done in an enclosed and vented environment as it also produces vapors.
What are you trying to mark?
What does the marking need to do?
What did you get googling "clean room markers"?

Why do you need to mark in the sterile environment?
Is it possible to have a conveyor transporting your product to a less stringent room where you can then mark it there?
This would save you a lot of headaches.

They will typically have an enclosure that have hinged doors that allow access to the paper loading tray, the printed documents, and the printer display and buttons. I don't recall the ink we used, but it was inkjet. This was in ISO 7 and 8 (grade C and D) environments.

You should keep your printers outside aseptic areas. Go for a network printer rather
