Tracey Brown and David Heath explain how recent advances in printhead drive electronics and software can dramatically improve print quality in high-speed, single-pass inkjet applications
From the exceptional print quality requirements of commercial labels to the non-contact robustness needed for ceramic tile decoration, to the precision deposition capability demanded by printed electronics, adoption of inkjet technology in industrial environments continues to expand and amaze.
Years of focused development have yielded highly reliable printheads which work with an unending stream of fluids but jetting, by its nature, will always present some level of challenge.
