Background A customer required reliable printing of a batch number and best before date for quality control and regulatory requirements
What is HPTIJ2.5 Technology?
At Digital Ink Technologies Pty Ltd, we are proud to pioneer High-Performance Thermal Inkjet (HPTIJ2.5)
HPTIJ2.5 inkjet printing technology revolutionises how the FMCG, Pharmaceutical, and General Purpose industries approach high-speed, high-resolution marking and coding.
The Next Evolution in Thermal Inkjet
The thermal inkjet printing process operates through a precise mechanism where ink cartridges within the printer heat the ink to temperatures up to 300°C. This intense heat causes the ink to boil and form a vapour bubble, expanding its volume. The formation of this bubble generates pressure that propels ink droplets out of the nozzle with high accuracy onto the substrate.
Once the ink droplets make contact, they cool rapidly, returning to a liquid state and creating sharp, detailed prints. As the vapour bubble collapses, a vacuum is created, drawing new ink into the nozzle for the next droplet ejection. This cycle allows for fast, efficient printing without compromising on quality.
Thermal Inkjet Delivers
HP Thermal Inkjet Technology (HPTIJ2.5) drives the performance of HP45si & HP45A print cartridges. The result is high-resolution printing (up to 600 dpi) for sharp text, crisp barcodes, and graphics.
Digital Ink Technologies Pty Ltd is the only HPTIJ2.5 ink filler that offers the five pillars of inks needed for FMCG & Pharmaceutical industries. Our wide variety of inks —including Thermochromic, Hot Ink Printing and Food grade inks and unique intervention free fast drying inks —offer the right solution for your business.
High performance
Maintain high quality and high productivity with high-performance Polymer Thermal Inkjet Inks. Digital Ink Technologies Pty Ltd’s unique HPTIJ 2.5 inks supports a wide variety of applications and substrates. Each ink accentuates certain performance characteristics such as substrate coverage, fast drying time, or long decap time.
Consistent and reliable
Every Digital Ink Technologies Pty Ltd print cartridge must meet strict quality standards. All Digital Ink Technologies Pty Ltd inks are subject to a battery of tests to prevent problems that degrade image quality such as microscopic contaminants that can clog printhead nozzles (kogation). Count on consistent printing performance and reliable results.
Cost effective
Save time, improve productivity, and lower operating costs. Self contained, customer-replaceable unique POLYtij® Intervention free inks in HPTIJ2.5 cartridges eliminate time-consuming and routine maintenance and deliver a fresh printhead with each cartridge replacement. Proven HPTIJ2.5 Thermal Inkjet Technology enables low-cost, efficient ink usage.
Choose Our Unique HPTIJ2.5 Inks
When you choose our HPTIJ2.5, you’re investing in:
- Intervention-Free Technology
- Superior Ink Adhesion and Dry Time
- Proven Performance and Low-Cost Efficient Ink Usage
- Maximum Production Uptime designed to save you money
How It Works
Traditional TIJ inks dry out quickly mainly due to poor kogation (Gradual and inevitable degradation), causing nozzle blockages that ruin printer cartridge uptime. POLYtij® uses advanced rheologies which incorporate polymer resins that stay primed and stable inside the printhead, even when idle — a breakthrough we call intervention free technology.
- Level One: 30-minute decap time, medium to fast continuous production lines
- Level Two: 72-hour open time, designed for slow, medium and fast production lines
- Level Three: 90-hour open time with no wiping or capping, designed for slow, medium and fast production lines
These levels define our product tiers — from Adhesion+50 to Perfecta Limitless Plus, each suited to different industrial demands.
OTHER HPTIJ2.5 SOLVENT BASED INKS
Standard HPTIJ2.5 Technology utilises ABSORPTION
Absorption occurs when molecules pass into a bulky material. An everyday example of this is a paper towel absorbing water – imagine water evenly permeating a paper towel as it soaks it up. The ratio of absorption depends on factors like concentration levels of the substance being absorbed, exposed surface area, and pressure.
POLYtij® POLYMER THERMAL INKJET TECHNOLOGY
Unique HPTIJ2.5 Technology utilises ADSORPTION
Adsorption is a process in which atoms, ions, or molecules from a substance adhere to a surface (of the adsorbent). Our unique POLYtij® inks utilise polymer resins which are bonding agents and can form strong bonds with various substrates such as metals, plastics, wood, glass, ceramics and composite materials.
