An egg printer ink cartridge is the sealed, food-grade ink supply that clips into the print head. Our cartridges hold 42 ml and print tens of thousands of trays before replacement.
Some systems use refillable cartridges you top up with food-grade ink; others use sealed, plug-and-play cartridges that are cleaner and clog less. Many are based on standard HP-type TIJ cartridges.
Capacity depends on how much ink each mark carries, but in a multi-head setup one cartridge covers a long production run, which keeps per-egg ink cost low.
