The Benefits |
HP designed the Q2344A, 1918 Dye-based Black Print cartridge specifically to support intermittent industrial printing on a wide variety of substrates: coated and uncoated papers, and specialty media.
This dye – based ink optimally penetrates the surface of the substrate, producing sharp, crisp output without smearing or transfer – ideal for packaging industry and other markets that need consistently robust results. On coated substrates, such as photo papers, this dye – based ink enhance the glossiness of the medium.
Higher decap times reduce nozzle dropout I production environments with intermittent printing requirements.
Unlike some pigmented inks, the dye-based ink in this print cartridge is water-based, not solvent-based, so production facilities do not need additional ventilation, special chemical cleaners, or qualified service technicians who can handle solvents. |

The Q2344A, 1918 Dye-based Black Print cartridge is:Reliable, Higher decap times minimize servicing requirements between print jobs and ensure consistent higer-quality output.
Versatile: Prints on a wide variety of substrates, so customers have a greater range of media choices.
Effective: 1918 Dye-based Black ink can be used on top of several types of offset inks, in knockout areas on porous packaging materials and on ink-receptive coatings.
Efficient: Drop-on-demand technology makes maximum use of ink supplied in the print cartridge.

What are the key advantages
of this print cartridge? |
> Continuity of printing: Higher decap times ensure on immediate startup every time–virtually eliminating the need to service the printhead between print jobs.
> Excellent print quality: 1918 Dye-based Black ink produces sharp, crisp, durable output without smearing or transfer.
|
What are the advantages
of HP Thermal Inkjet (TIJ)
Technology? |
> Cost-effective: Requires no warm-up cycle and no downtime. When it’s time to replace a print cartridge, replace only the one that’s needed.
|
> Easy to use: No special training is required to operate and maintain thermal inkjet printers. The print cartridge design allows it to be snapped in and out for easy replacement.
|
> Fast: Hundreds of tiny nozzles firing at a high frequency allow high-quality printing at high speeds.
|
> Reliable: TU is less sensitive to air bubbles in the firing chamber than other printing technologies, avoiding print quality problems and delays caused by trapped air.
|
> Flexible: Support a wide variety of substrates.
|
> High quality: TU places smaller drops more accurately, producing consistently superb image and text quality. |
> Environmentally safe: With thermal inkjet, there is no need for service technicians qualified to handle volatile solvents, and noxious fumes.
|
> Lower cost of ownership: A thermal inkjet printer can cost to hundreds of thousands of dollars less than other printing equipment, reducing the market entry cost.
