Manufacturers – Getting Started & Next Steps

Let us Talk About Industrial Inkjet Printing
?
?
Many of you have wondered what is an industrial inkjet (aside from the printers in our offices). Inkjet technology is the process of printing tiny drops of ink onto a plain surface without making any sort of contact. This technology has been around for more than a decade already. The dots that of each ink are combined with other colored ink to create other colors to create quality images. These are almost microscopic, which requires it to be positioned precisely where it needs to be aimed for high print quality. The output of this machine was achieved through the help of science and technology. Thanks to its innovation, it has served well in the industrial field printing quality images for commercial purposes and others.

Now, these industrial inkjet printing systems are generally classified into two categories; the continuous printing and the drop on demand. Each of these categories has its variants, which you can learn more about it here. The continuous inkjet technology, its heads (where the ink drops come out) continuously ejects inks to a surface. While the drop on demands is dissimilar to the continuous printing inkjet, this technology only drops ink from its head when it is only required.

In the continuous printing inkjet, it constantly allows a flow of ink from the reservoir onto one or more small nozzles. Which allows it to have a continuous stream of drops of ink at a very short interval. The low interval is achieved with the use of piezoelectric crystal. When the drops pass to those electrodes (crystal) it imparts a charge onto each drop, then it is made to pass through the deflection plate. Thanks to the piezoelectric technology, high-speed printing is possible.

The advantage of this technology is that it can produce a high output, especially for on-demand printing orders. The inks that used are solvent-based which means it is good adhesion and rapid drying is possible. The only drawback is that it requires high maintenance for the print-heads to continually work efficiently to achieve the desired speeds for printing.

On the other hand, the drop-on-demand technology ejects drops of ink when it is necessary. Drops that came out from the heads are caused and control by pressure. One of its sub-variant is thermal inkjet technology which drops of ink are formed by rapidly increasing the temperature of the ink in a small ink chamber. This results in a vacuum on the head which later will be replaced with the flow of ink. Another sub-variant of drop-on-demand technology is using a piezoelectric crystal. The crystal is used to create a rapid distortion which causes pressure pulses to eject the ink on the heads.

Overall, inkjet technology has been an in-service for countless business and large companies. The application of this technology hasn’t yet stopped, because researchers are now developing edible inks. For more info about inkjets, see this page here.
