TIJ 2.5 Technology Overview
Thermal Inkjet Technology
The HP45 cartridge utilizes advanced thermal inkjet (TIJ 2.5) technology, where microscopic heating elements create vapor bubbles that propel ink droplets onto the substrate. This technology ensures consistent, high-quality printing with minimal maintenance requirements.
With 300 nozzles arranged in a single row with 1/300" pitch spacing, the HP45 delivers precise control over droplet placement, making it ideal for industrial coding and marking applications.
Industrial Applications
- Production line coding and marking systems
- Food and beverage packaging date coding
- Pharmaceutical and medical device marking
- Consumer goods product identification
- Barcode and QR code printing
