How to choose a TIJ ink cartridge
- Size. A 12.7 mm cartridge prints up to 12.7 mm tall and a 25.4 mm cartridge up to 25.4 mm. Match the cartridge to your printer's print height.
- Ink type. Water-based inks suit porous surfaces such as cartons and paper. Solvent inks suit non-porous surfaces such as plastic, metal and glass. See the Material Guide.
- Colour. Black is the standard. White, red, blue, yellow and green give contrast on dark or coloured packaging. Invisible and UV inks are used for security marks.
- Chip. The cartridge chip must match your printer. The cartridge chip must match your printer, so send us your printer model and we will confirm.
- Handling. Do not insert or remove the cartridge while the printer is printing. Keep unopened cartridges in their packaging; shelf life is 9–12 months.
