The 1-inch printhead covers a 25.4 mm height in one pass, so outer-case markings and large-character content no longer need two half-inch cartridges stacked one above the other. That saves the setup time spent aligning the seam and calibrating heights, and avoids barcodes becoming unreadable because of misalignment at the join.
Large characters, solid graphics and logos consume noticeably more ink than ordinary small-character marking. A 60 ml capacity extends continuous running time and reduces how often the line has to stop mid-production for a cartridge change.
The 1-inch empty cartridge uses the same solvent-resistant body construction, resisting swelling and leakage after filling, so you can take your own formulation straight into volume supply.
This product is a 1-inch empty cartridge supplied without ink; actual print performance is determined by the formulation the customer fills it with.
Please note: the instantaneous ink delivery of a 1-inch printhead is higher than that of a half-inch head. Even where a formulation has already been validated at half-inch, we recommend re-confirming viscosity, ink feed responsiveness and continuous-jetting stability when migrating to 1-inch. This empty cartridge is not recommended for water-based, UV-curable or non-solvent inks; please contact UniPlus customer service for those requirements.
With its greater print height and fill capacity, the 1-inch empty cartridge suits large-character and outer-case applications. If your marking content is mainly small-character dates and batch numbers, or your existing equipment only supports half-inch printheads, the half-inch empty cartridge is the better fit.

If you need the half-inch format, see the UniPlus Half-Inch 42ml TIJ 2.5 Solvent-Based Industrial Empty Ink Cartridge. If you need a pre-filled finished product, see the UP45 1-Inch 60ml Solvent-Based TIJ Industrial Ink Cartridge.
If your current equipment is half-inch, adopting a 1-inch empty cartridge requires confirming that the printhead mount, control board and clamping fixture will support it. We suggest providing your equipment model and current consumable details when you get in touch so we can help assess feasibility.
