CAD 45 INK CARTRIDGES

WECARE CAD 45 Ink Cartridges

WECARE CAD 45 pigment ink cartridges for compatible garment plotters and cutters, with options for different output and production priorities.

WECARE CAD 45 A+, Grade A and Regular ink cartridges with garment pattern output

OVERVIEW

Built Around Garment CAD Printing.

The WECARE CAD 45 ink cartridge is built on the HP45 / 51645A thermal inkjet platform widely used across garment CAD plotting, pattern printing and marker workflows.

With approximately 42ML of pigment ink and an integrated thermal inkjet printhead, the cartridge supports clear technical line output, practical cartridge replacement and daily use in garment CAD rooms, pattern rooms and production-preparation environments.

WECARE offers three cartridge grades — A+, Grade A and Regular — so customers can select the appropriate balance of stability, workload and cost for different plotters and operating environments.

PRODUCT GRADES

Three Grades for Different Production Priorities.

WECARE A+ Garment CAD 45 ink cartridge and packaging
Recommended for demanding production

A+ — Highest Stability

A+ is designed for CAD rooms and production environments where print stability, fine line output and continuous daily use are higher priorities.

  • Higher stability
  • Fine pattern-line output
  • Suitable for continuous production
  • Broad plotter recommendation
WECARE Grade A Garment CAD 45 ink cartridge and packaging
Balanced for regular production

Grade A — Recommended Daily Choice

Grade A provides a balanced option for mainstream garment CAD production, combining practical daily performance with broad workflow suitability.

  • Daily CAD plotting
  • Reliable pattern output
  • Balanced performance and cost
  • Broad machine support
WECARE Regular Garment CAD 45 ink cartridge and packaging
For selected plotter environments

Regular — Economy Choice for Selected Machines

Regular is a cost-focused option for selected machines and applications where the highest level of print stability is not the primary requirement.

  • Cost-conscious choice
  • Selected plotter environments
  • Standard workload
  • Machine-specific recommendation

02

Filling & Process Control

Controlled filling and assembly steps are used to improve consistency.

03

Pressure & Leakage Checks

Cartridge sealing and pressure-related performance are checked during production.

04

Print Testing

Print output is checked before product release.

05

Batch Records

Production and quality records are maintained for batch-level traceability and follow-up.

06

Final Inspection

Final verification is completed before packing and shipment.

USAGE & SUPPORT

Practical Support for Daily CAD Printing.

Missing or Broken Lines

Check cartridge seating, electrical contacts and printhead condition before replacing the cartridge.

Weak Printing

Confirm cartridge installation, contact condition and ink / printhead status.
