Key Advantages
1-Inch Print Height with 60ml High-Capacity Ink Cartridge
Upgrade to a larger 60ml ink capacity and 2x print height to reduce print stitching and alignment issues, improve production line throughput, and lower the risk of maintenance downtime and printing failures.
Fast Drying — Ideal for High-Speed In-Line Production
Fast dry time is a critical requirement in industrial production environments. This solvent-based TIJ industrial ink cartridge is designed for conveyor belt integration and in-line inkjet systems, enabling clear, reliable marking without production slowdowns.
Superior Adhesion on Difficult Surfaces
Solvent-based ink delivers strong adhesion on a wide range of non-porous and non-absorbent substrates. It performs well on curved, concave, and irregular surfaces — making it ideal for diverse industrial marking and product identification applications.
Extended Decap Time for Greater Operational Flexibility
Decap time refers to how long the printhead can remain uncapped without clogging. A longer decap window improves operational flexibility on the production floor and supports reliable performance across varying environmental conditions.
High-Resolution Output for Barcode & QR Code Readability
This industrial ink cartridge is engineered for high-resolution barcode printing, QR code marking, and traceability code output — delivering superior scan reliability and print clarity for compliance and product tracking needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is the Uniplus 1-inch TIJ solvent ink cartridge compatible with HP 45 / 2580 or similar models?
A: This cartridge is specifically designed for a 1-inch TIJ 2.5 printhead and is not an HP 45-compatible cartridge. It operates on an independent industrial specification and is not interchangeable with HP 45 / HP 2580 / HP 2590 or other half-inch cartridge systems. Upgrading to a 1-inch TIJ solution requires a device that supports a 1-inch printhead or appropriate system modification. For production lines currently using HP 45 half-inch cartridges, the 1-inch TIJ solution can be considered an efficiency upgrade — significantly expanding print coverage and stability without increasing system complexity.
Q: What is the difference between a 1-inch and a half-inch TIJ ink cartridge?
A: A 1-inch cartridge delivers a larger single-pass print height, making it better suited for larger fonts, wide-format output, and high-speed production lines that require fewer print passes. Traditional half-inch cartridges are more commonly used for standard small-character marking applications.

Uniplus Half-Inch vs. 1-Inch Printhead Height and Capacity Comparison
Q: Why upgrade from traditional TIJ 2.5 half-inch technology?
A: Traditional TIJ 2.5 half-inch cartridges (such as HP 45 or HP 2580) often require multiple stacked cartridges to achieve greater print heights, resulting in complex alignment, higher maintenance costs, and reduced print consistency. The Uniplus 1-inch TIJ solution eliminates these challenges — achieving large-format printing with a single cartridge, reducing hardware complexity, increasing throughput efficiency, and delivering more consistent output quality.
Q: What substrates are compatible with solvent TIJ ink cartridges?
A: Compatible with a wide range of absorbent and non-absorbent surfaces, including plastic, flexible film, aluminum foil, metal, glass, coated paper, wood, leather, and select synthetic materials. Adhesion performance varies by surface type, so we recommend conducting adhesion tests before high-volume production.
Q: What industries commonly use this product?
A: Frequently used in beverage and bottling, flexible packaging, logistics and warehousing, industrial component manufacturing, outer carton coding, and general product traceability marking applications.
Q: Is this cartridge suitable for food packaging applications?
A: Yes. Uniplus offers food-grade solvent ink formulations that have passed SGS testing and meet the requirements for food contact packaging marking applications.
Q: Is this suitable for printing barcodes and QR codes?
A: Yes. The solvent-based industrial ink cartridge supports high-resolution inkjet printing and is well-suited for 1D barcodes, 2D QR codes, and product traceability marking.
Q: Is this cartridge compatible with conveyor belt in-line printing systems?
A: Yes. Fast dry time is a key advantage of solvent-based inkjet cartridges, making them highly effective for conveyor-integrated, high-speed in-line production coding applications.
Q: How do I verify compatibility with my existing equipment?
A: If you are currently using a TIJ 2.5-compatible device, provide your equipment model, print content requirements, and substrate material. Our team will assess compatibility and provide print sample testing recommendations.
Q: What should I know about usage and storage?
A: Store away from direct sunlight and high-dust environments. Maintain storage temperature between 15–35°C (59–95°F). Always return the cartridge to its protective cap when not in use, and use within six months of opening.
