Key Advantages of the UP45 Half-Inch Solvent Cartridge
The Classic Half-Inch 12.7 mm Standard Print Height
The print height of the UP45 half-inch solvent cartridge adjusts flexibly between 2 and 12.7 mm, matching a wide range of product marking and packaging coding requirements. It gives you a consumable compatible with mainstream 12.7 mm TIJ systems, so you can keep using existing equipment and reduce adoption and switching costs.
Fast-Drying Ink That Keeps Pace with Conveyors and Inline Coding
UP45 fast-drying solvent ink suits conveyor integration and inline coding systems. The ink dries within 2 to 5 seconds of landing, avoiding smudging or smearing from contact later in the print run, so there is no need to slow the line down while ink dries and throughput is maintained.
High-Adhesion Ink for a Wide Range of Non-Porous Substrates
Solvent ink forms its image by adhesion, bonding firmly to non-absorbent materials such as plastic, metal and glass. The UP45 formulation offers strong adhesion, marking clearly even on curved surfaces, recessed areas and irregularly shaped flexible packaging, which broadens the range of products you can code.
Long Decap Time Resists Clogging on Restart
Decap time refers to how long the printhead can stay exposed to air without clogging. UP45 industrial cartridges offer a longer decap time, giving the line more breathing room during changeovers and restarts after a pause, and effectively reducing cleaning cycles and waste ink residue.
600 DPI Resolution for Smooth Barcode and QR Code Scanning
UP45 industrial cartridges support output up to 600 DPI, keeping the edges of 1D barcodes, QR codes and fine serial numbers sharp and free of blurring. This improves scan recognition rates and reading speed, meeting the barcode accuracy requirements of product traceability and logistics management.
Water and Abrasion Resistant, with Markings That Resist Fading
Industrially coded products are frequently subjected to friction during handling and stacking. Once the solvent evaporates, the colourant bonds firmly to the printed material, providing water resistance and durability that resist fading even as conditions change, so dates and batch numbers stay legible throughout the product life cycle.
100% Brand-New, High-Quality Cartridges
Every UP45 industrial cartridge is newly manufactured—never a recovered cartridge refilled and repackaged. A brand-new printhead structure ensures consistent print quality and a low failure rate, so the cartridge maintains stable, efficient output throughout its service life.
Suitable Printing Substrates
The UP45 half-inch 42 ml solvent-based TIJ cartridge works across both absorbent and non-absorbent materials, and suits non-porous surface marking that requires fast drying and strong adhesion.
Commonly printable surfaces:
- Plastics: PET, HDPE, LDPE, ABS, PP, PVC, PS foam, PO, nylon, PC and acrylic
- Films: OPP film and other flexible plastic films
- Metals: iron, steel, aluminium, aluminium foil, galvanised steel and laminated metal
- Glass
- Laminated paper/glossy coated paper
- Wood, leather and selected synthetic materials
Choosing Between Half-Inch and 1-Inch Solvent Cartridges
With its smaller single-pass print height, the half-inch cartridge suits standard small-character marking, small barcodes and date codes. When you need larger type, wide-format output or fewer stitched cartridges, it is worth evaluating an upgrade to the UP45 1-Inch 60 ml Solvent-Based TIJ Industrial Ink Cartridge.

Use and Storage Recommendations
Recommended storage conditions:
- Avoid direct sunlight
- Keep away from environments with excessive dust
- Do not store upside down for extended periods
Precautions:
- When pausing use, refit the cartridge into its protective clip so the printhead is not left exposed for long periods
- Use within six months of opening
- Even with no immediate printing requirement, run a test print roughly every two weeks to extend cartridge service life
- Ink is not edible. Keep out of reach of children
- Avoid contact with skin and eyes; in case of contact, rinse promptly with clean water and seek medical attention if you feel unwell
