Key Features and Benefits
1. Bold & High-Contrast Black Ink Output
Designed with a deep black pigment, the cartridge delivers outstanding visibility on light or transparent backgrounds, ensuring data such as batch codes, expiry dates, logos, and barcodes are clearly legible and easily scannable.
2. High Adhesion on Non-Porous Surfaces
Most industries use plastic, foil, laminated film, or metal surfaces—materials where traditional water-based inks fail. This solvent cartridge is engineered for excellent adhesion on:
-
Plastic bottles (PET, HDPE, LDPE)
-
Aluminum lids and pouches
-
Coated cartons
-
Glossy shrink films
-
Glass containers
3. Fast Drying – 1 to 3 Seconds
On non-absorbent surfaces, drying time is critical to avoid smudging or downtime. This cartridge offers fast drying, even in humid or warm environments, allowing for high-speed continuous printing.
4. Oil & Water Resistant
Once printed and dried, the ink is resistant to oil, moisture, and light rubbing, making it suitable for export packaging, refrigerated products, and industrial logistics.
5. Plug-and-Print Simplicity
Compatible with all HP 45-style TIJ 2.5 printers, this cartridge works without any special configuration. Just plug it in, and you’re ready to print.
