How to choose compatible CIJ and TIJ ink, solvent, and makeup fluid by substrate, with practical tips for validated compatible supplies on VJ and DM printers.
How to Select Compatible Ink, Solvent & Makeup Fluid
The right fluid keeps print quality stable and the printhead healthy. CIJ uses ink plus makeup (solvent) to maintain viscosity; TIJ uses sealed ink cartridges. Choose fluids matched to your substrate and printer series, and prefer compatible or equivalent supplies validated for VJ and DM machines to cut cost without sacrificing reliability.
Match Fluid to Substrate
- Porous (carton, paper): standard dye or pigment ink.
- Non-porous (plastic, metal, film): MEK or ketone-based CIJ ink, or TIJ-compatible coated ink.
- Food-contact or pharma: low-migration ink where required by regulation.
CIJ Ink and Makeup
CIJ ink loses solvent during printing; makeup fluid restores viscosity. Keep the correct ink-makeup pair for your model, and store makeup sealed. A compatible makeup fluid validated for your VJ or DM series maintains the same parameters.
TIJ Cartridges
TIJ cartridges integrate ink and heads. Use the equivalent cartridge for your printer; avoid mixing series. Compatible cartridges lower cost while preserving drop quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix original and compatible fluid?
Avoid mixing within one system. Use a consistent compatible set validated for your model to keep parameters stable.
How do I know the right makeup ratio?
The printer controls makeup automatically per its fluid profile. Select the compatible makeup paired to your ink and VJ or DM model.
Do compatible fluids affect warranty?
Quality compatible fluids are formulated to spec and do not modify firmware. Choose validated supplies and keep records for traceability.
