One inch ink cartridge - 1 inch TIJ ink

Industrial printing, marking and labelling in large format (over 1 inch)

Many modern industrial labelling and marking systems use TIJ (Thermal Inkjet) technology from Hewlett Packard. The print head is integrated in the ink cartridge. Printers and marking systems can therefore be designed very flexibly and the programming can be done individually. Hand printers such as our NasaJet® also use TIJ technology to enable a wide range of printouts with a small, handy device.

Standard ink cartridges for TIJ technology have an integrated print head with a height of just over 12mm - corresponding to half an inch. To enable larger printouts, several cartridges are cascaded (slightly vertically offset) in the device or special cartridges with a print head twice as high as an inch (1 inch = 25.4mm) are used. These can also be cascaded to allow even higher printouts.

1-Inch TIJ ink cartridges

A 1-inch TIJ (Thermal Inkjet) ink cartridge is a high-resolution printing solution designed for industrial and packaging applications that require bold, clear, and fast printing. Unlike standard ½-inch cartridges, the 1-inch print height allows for larger text, logos, and barcodes — ideal for cases, boxes, and other secondary packaging.

These cartridges are compatible with a wide range of TIJ printers, including popular brands like HP and Kao Collins. They’re commonly used in food packaging, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, logistics, and manufacturing industries.

Advantages of 1-Inch TIJ ink cartridges

1. Larger Print Area

The biggest advantage of a 1-inch cartridge is its taller print height. This allows you to print large characters, bold branding, or multiple lines of text in a single pass — without compromising on clarity.

2. High-Resolution Output

TIJ technology offers sharp, high-resolution printing (up to 600 dpi). Whether you’re printing QR codes, barcodes, or batch numbers, you get consistent, scannable, and professional results every time.

3. Versatile Ink Types

1-inch TIJ cartridges come in various ink formulations, including:

• Water-based ink for porous materials like cardboard or paper.
• Solvent-based ink for non-porous surfaces such as plastic, glass, and metal.
• UV-curable ink for specialized industrial applications.

This versatility makes them suitable for almost any production environment.

4. Easy Maintenance and Replacement

TIJ systems are cartridge-based, meaning there’s no need for messy ink refills or complex maintenance. Just snap in a new cartridge, and you’re ready to print — minimizing downtime and maximizing efficiency.

Use of 1 inch (1 inch) TIJ print cartridges

TIJ print cartridges with 1 inch print height are mostly used in production for automated labelling of products or packaging. The objects to be printed pass a sensor on a conveyor belt. This sensor gives the impulse for the following printing process. As they pass, the desired information - such as serial numbers, production date, delivery details, shelf life information, etc. - is printed directly onto the item. - is printed directly onto the object. Thanks to inkjet technology, this is usually done contact-free, quickly and cleanly. Special inks (UV ink, UV curing ink,...) can also be used excellently in the given production process.
