Anser TIJ Printheads
Choose your printhead by print height — 1/2" or 1". Both sizes run on the Anser X1 and the X1 Lite, and both support the Anser printhead technologies (HP, IUT, Brady). Match the height to how the code has to be read, and we’ll match the technology to your ink and substrate.
1" printheads
A full inch of print height in a single pass — for big codes read at a distance, stacked lot numbers over barcodes/logos, or a taller GS1 2D Data Matrix. The 1" bulk printhead pairs with the 160 mL cartridge for the 1" 160 mL High-Volume System (longest runs, fewest changeovers). On the Anser X1, two 1" heads can be stitched for a 2" print height.
- 1" print height · up to 600 dpi
- Pairs with the 160 mL bulk cartridge for high-volume runs
- Runs on the X1 and X1 Lite
1/2" printheads
The standard print height for everyday date and lot codes on cartons, cases, and packaging. Lower ink use for high-volume, small-code jobs.
- 1/2" print height · up to 600 dpi
- Runs on the X1 and X1 Lite
About printhead technologies (HP, IUT, Brady)
Anser printheads support HP, IUT, and Brady technologies. These are the underlying printhead/cartridge technologies — NOT sizes and NOT separate products. You choose your printhead by print height (1/2" or 1"); we match the right technology to your ink and substrate. (So "IUT" is a technology option, never a print size.)
How to choose
- Height: 1/2" for standard date/lot codes; 1" when the code must be big or dense (cases, totes, large 2D codes).
- Controller: both the X1 and X1 Lite run either size.
- Ink & technology: tell us your substrate and we’ll match the ink (Odyssey line) and the printhead technology.
