Open-system TIJ cartridges — factory direct
Open-system TIJ cartridges — factory direct
HP45-format thermal inkjet cartridges from our own factory. 12.7 mm and 25.4 mm print widths, 42 ml industrial fill, open chip. Pick by the surface you print on — that is the only decision that really matters.
HP45-format thermal inkjet cartridge with fast-dry solvent ink, for the plastic, coated metal and film surfaces that a water-based ink will not hold. If a water-based code has already failed on your part, start here.
A covert TIJ cartridge that prints a mark invisible in daylight and readable under a 365 nm UV lamp, for traceability, warranty control and anti-counterfeiting. If the check you already run uses a UV lamp, this is the cartridge that fits that step.
Reservoir, filter and printhead are one sealed assembly. There is no separate head to clean, align or replace — the nozzle plate ships inside the cartridge.
That changes how failure looks. There is no recirculation loop and no solvent top-up, so a nozzle that dries out during a long stop stays dry. You change the cartridge, not the head. It is also why ink has to be formulated for TIJ specifically: viscosity sits in a narrow band so the heater can eject reliably, and surface tension has to be low enough to wet a low-energy plastic. Change the material and you change the ink — you do not adjust the printer.
| Half-inch (12.7 mm) | One line: date, batch, serial or spec code. Fits handheld and mini units. Light and quick to swap. |
|---|---|
| One-inch (25.4 mm) | Multi-line text, QR, Data Matrix, logos. Needs a carriage that accepts a one-inch body. |
| Stitched heads | Two or more heads joined into one band — up to 76.2 mm with four one-inch heads inline. |
Tell us the material, the line speed and what you need to print. We will name the ink system and post you samples you can test yourself.
