A one-stop supplier of industrial inks and cartridges for date, lot, and batch coding. We go deep on thermal inkjet (TIJ) — HP 45 / 45A / 45si format cartridges, the Anser X-Series, and Odyssey inks — serving the coding & marking channel across the Americas and Australia.
From corrugated cardboard and kraft paper to coated cartons, plastic films, foils, and rigid containers, the right ink is the one matched to your substrate and line speed. We help you specify a cartridge and ink chemistry — water-based or solvent-based — for clean, durable, scannable codes.
Our customers mark products across food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and general industrial manufacturing — anywhere a legible date code, lot number, or barcode is required for traceability and compliance.
Thermal inkjet is clean, low-maintenance, and high-resolution — ideal for variable data like dates, lot codes, and barcodes. We stock cartridges in the industry-standard HP 45 format (including 45A and 45si) plus the Anser X-Series controllers and printheads and Odyssey ink cartridges.

Coding and marking inks are industrial inks used to print date codes, lot and batch numbers, barcodes, and traceability marks directly onto products and packaging. They are formulated to adhere to specific surfaces — porous, semi-porous, and non-porous — and to dry fast on a moving production line.
Our product depth is thermal inkjet (TIJ) — HP 45 / 45A / 45si format cartridges, the Anser X-Series, and Odyssey inks. We provide technical support across the wider coding & marking category and can advise on continuous inkjet (CIJ), piezo, thermal transfer (TTO), and laser coding applications.
