Anser X-Series1" TIJ Printhead
The 1" (25.4mm) thermal inkjet (TIJ) printhead for the Anser X1 Controller — a taller print band for bigger, bolder date, lot, and batch codes, barcodes, and logos. The high-volume 160mL system runs 1" bulk cartridges for the longest production runs with the fewest changeovers.
The 1" 160mL high-volume printheads
Two heads, one 160mL high-volume system. The T1XL runs on the Anser X1; the T2XL is its counterpart on the cost-efficient Anser X1 Lite. Both drive the same 1" 160mL bulk cartridge — so you pick the head for your controller.
Anser X1 1" HV Printhead (T1XL)
SKU: PH-10-HV
High-volume 1" (25.4mm) thermal inkjet (TIJ) printhead for the Anser X1 — the T1XL, the head behind our 1" 160 mL High-Volume System on the X1. Uses DHI-technology 160mL 1" bulk cartridges for extended, uninterrupted production runs and high-volume date/lot coding. Controller not included.

Anser X1 Lite 1" HV Printhead (T2XL)
SKU: PH-10L-HV
High-volume 1" (25.4mm) thermal inkjet (TIJ) printhead for the Anser X1 Lite — the T2XL, the X1 Lite counterpart to the T1XL. Drives the same DHI-technology 160mL 1" bulk cartridges for extended, high-volume date/lot coding. Controller not included.

Part of a complete coding system
A printhead is one piece of the line. Pair a 1" head with the Anser X1 Controller and 1" bulk ink cartridges for an end-to-end thermal inkjet coder — clean, high-resolution variable data with minimal maintenance and fast cartridge swaps.
The 1" band suits cartons, cases, paper, and many rigid surfaces. Need taller codes? The X1 controller can run dual 1" cartridges for 2" (50 mm) high-resolution coding.
Built for high-volume runs
The 160mL high-volume (HV) heads (the T2XL on the X1 Lite, the T1XL on the X1) are our highest-volume 1" option — their DHI-technology bulk cartridges deliver the longest runs and fewest changeovers on high-throughput lines. For lower-volume work, each controller also has a standard head that takes 1" IUT cartridges (the T2 Standard on the X1 Lite, the Type-H on the X1), so you can match the setup to your throughput. Not sure which fits? We’ll help you size it.

XL Bulk Ink Cartridge — 160 mL, solid 1" printing
Prints a full 1" in a single pass — no stitching — and installs like a standard cartridge, so there are no pouches and no tubes to maintain. About 4× the ink of a standard 42 mL cartridge: longer runs, fewer changeovers.
Frequently asked questions
What is a 1" TIJ printhead?
A 1" (25.4mm) thermal inkjet printhead prints a one-inch-tall band of high-resolution coding — dates, lot and batch numbers, barcodes, and logos. On the Anser X-Series it runs 1" cartridges in water-based and solvent inks and is driven by the Anser X1 Controller.
Why choose the 1" HV (high-volume) printhead?
The 1" HV head pairs with 160mL bulk cartridges for much longer production runs with fewer changeovers — ideal for high-throughput lines coding dates, lot and batch numbers, and barcodes.
Which cartridges does the 1" HV printhead use?
The 1" HV Anser X1 printhead uses 160mL bulk cartridges — sized for long, high-throughput production runs. The water-based 160mL ink is available now; the solvent version is coming in late 2027.
Can I print taller than 1 inch?
Yes — the Anser X1 Controller can drive two 1" printheads and combine dual 1" cartridges to produce 2" (50 mm) high-resolution coding.
Does the 1" printhead work with the Anser X1 Lite?
Yes. The X1 Lite runs the T2XL — its own 1" 160mL high-volume head, the counterpart to the X1's T1XL — and it uses the same 160mL bulk cartridges.
