Solvent-Based Black Ink for Coding Selected Non-Porous Packaging Materials.

HSAJET K4022si Thor Black Solvent Ink – HP45si Cartridge The HSAJET K4022si Thor Black Solvent Ink is a solvent-based black ink designed for commercial coding and marking applications involving selected semi-porous and non-porous materials.

HSA Systems supplies K4022si in the HP45si print cartridge, a cartridge platform specifically optimized for solvent inks used on non-porous materials.

K4022si is particularly relevant for applications involving:

• Metallic stock
• Aluminium
• Blister foil
• OPP
• PE
• PET film
• UV-coated paper
• Glossy coated materials
• Other compatible non-porous substrates

The actual adhesion, drying and print durability should be tested on the customer's exact substrate before production use.

Overview

K4022si is part of the HSAJET solvent-black ink range for HP TIJ 2.5 thermal inkjet printing systems.

According to current HSA Systems documentation, this ink is intended to produce dark, defined printing on challenging substrates where standard aqueous inks may not be appropriate.

Typical uses can include:

• Variable product coding
• Batch codes
• Lot numbers
• Date information
• Identification codes
• Traceability information
• Compatible 1D/2D codes
• Packaging marking

The printer/controller determines the data being printed; the cartridge provides the ink and integrated printhead.

Key Features

• HSAJET K4022si Thor Black Solvent Ink
• HP45si cartridge format
• Solvent-based black ink
• Dye-based formulation
• 45 ml stated fill volume
• Approx. 33 ml average delivered ink according to HSA documentation
• Approx. 2–3 second drying time depending on substrate
• Approx. 1-hour decap time
• 12-month stated shelf life under defined storage conditions
• Designed for selected semi-porous and non-porous substrates
• Suitable for HP TIJ 2.5-based coding applications using compatible equipment

HP45si Cartridge Platform

The K4022si is supplied in the HP45si cartridge.

HSA Systems states that HP45si is specifically optimized for solvent ink and non-porous printing and offers different operating characteristics from the standard HP45A cartridge. It also includes a programmable HP Smart Card used by compatible systems for cartridge-related information and diagnostics.

For SEO and buyer clarity, the correct terminology is:

HP45si solvent ink cartridge / HP TIJ 2.5 platform

rather than simply “HP 45A cartridge.”

Compatible Substrate Guidance

HSA Systems specifically identifies K4022si for materials such as:

• Aluminium
• Metallic surfaces
• Blister foils
• OPP
• PE
• PET film
• UV-coated papers
• Glossy coated substrates
• Other compatible non-porous materials

This list describes manufacturer-identified application areas. It does not mean every grade, coating or surface treatment within those material families will produce identical results.

Blister Foil & Pharmaceutical Packaging

HSA Systems specifically highlights K4022si for aluminium and blister-foil applications and references pharmaceutical packaging and track-and-trace use cases.

Potential printed information may include:

• Batch number
• Lot number
• Date information
• Variable codes
• Traceability references
• Product identifiers

Any pharmaceutical or regulated packaging application remains subject to the customer's validation and applicable regulatory requirements.

PET, OPP & Film Applications

K4022si may also be evaluated for compatible:

• PET film
• OPP
• PE
• Flexible packaging
• Coated packaging film

Surface treatment, coating chemistry and print conditions can materially affect adhesion and drying.

A production sample should therefore be tested before committing to large-scale use.

Drying Time

HSA Systems lists a 2–3 second drying time for K4022si under its documented test conditions, while noting that drying depends on the substrate.

This should not be interpreted as a guaranteed drying time for every production line.

Factors can include:

• Substrate chemistry
• Surface treatment
• Ambient temperature
• Ink laydown
• Print density
• Conveyor speed
• Distance from the substrate

Decap Time

The K4022si documentation specifies approximately one hour of decap time.

Decap time refers to how long the printhead can remain uncapped/non-printing under defined conditions before print quality may require attention.

Environmental conditions and system configuration can affect real-world performance.

Shelf Life

Current HSA Systems documentation lists a 12-month shelf life for K4022si.

Shelf-life interpretation should follow the manufacturer's date coding, storage conditions and cartridge instructions.

Applications

Potential applications include:

• Pharmaceutical packaging coding
• Blister foil coding
• Flexible packaging
• Product identification
• Batch coding
• Lot coding
• Date coding
• Traceability
• Industrial packaging
• Metallic packaging
• Variable-data printing

Important Compatibility Guidance

Before ordering, confirm:

• Existing HSAJET printer/controller
• HP45si cartridge support
• Current cartridge model
• Ink reference K4022si
• Substrate type
• Surface coating
• Required print height
• Production speed
• Print-to-product distance
• Required drying time
• Required adhesion
• Regulatory/application requirements

If replacing an existing cartridge, matching the exact K4022si reference printed on the current cartridge is the safest starting point.
