Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) technology relies on precisely formulated ink cartridges to achieve high-resolution coding on various substrates. Original quick-drying ink cartridges are engineered to meet the demanding requirements of industrial TIJ printers, ensuring fast evaporation, adhesion durability, and printhead compatibility.
2. Core Functions in TIJ Systems
2.1 Rapid Drying Mechanism
Micro-porous Absorption: Penetrates porous surfaces (paper, corrugated board) in <0.5 seconds
Solvent-Based Formulation: Ethanol/acetone blends evaporate within 1–3 seconds on non-porous materials (plastics, metals)
On-Demand Phase Change: TIJ printheads heat ink to 300°C, creating vapor bubbles that propel droplets while accelerating drying
2.2 Printhead Synergy
Nozzle Protection: Low viscosity (1.2–2.5 cP) prevents clogging in 50–70μm nozzles
Thermal Stability: Withstands repeated heating/cooling cycles without pigment degradation
