Kunststoff-Autoteile OR Kunststoffteile für den Automobilbau
Depends on how formal you need to be. And of course, you can replace "Kunststoff" by "Plastik". Same approach with regards to the Gummiteile, just replace "Kunststoff" bei "Gummi".

You said \"pigmented ink sample of an ink jet printer,\" so I presumed the samples are to be printed on these materials, e.g. to demonstrate how durable the ink is, or how good it sticks to different materials. If that\'s not the case, no, I wouldn\'t be able to think of any automotive parts in an ink jet printer.

A few notes to counter the arguments brought forward by Mr. Gleim:
Definition
(from Cambridge International Dictionary of English)
automotive
adjective [before n, not gradable]
relating to road vehicles
the automotive industry/business/trade/market
automotive research/manufacturing/engineers/components/parts
The adjective \"automotive\" has 2 senses in WordNet.
1. automotive -- (of or relating to motor vehicles; \"automotive supplies\")
2. automotive, self-propelled, self-propelling -- (containing within itself the means of propulsion or movement; \"a self-propelled vehicle\")
And, Merriam-Webster\'s
Main Entry: au·to·mo·tive
Pronunciation: \"o-t&-\'mO-tiv
Function: adjective
Date: 1898
1 : of, relating to, or concerned with self-propelled vehicles or
machines
2 : SELF-PROPELLED
I think we can rule out the meaning given under 2., right?

In think my suggestion fits exactly what you are describing: these photos show pigmented ink (Pigmenttinte) samples printed on different materials. As it happens to be, these parts are car parts. One of the advantages of pigmented inks is that they are suitable for outdoor use, so car parts do make sense in this context.

Kunststoffschlitten für Tintenpatrone oder für Druckkopf
"automotive" means "mit Eigenantrieb". As the subject deals with ink I assume that the term refers to the printer head and its feed unit or slider (printer carriage). It could designate a plastic part of the print head, which travels to and fro. This gives the impression of "automotive".
