Latest developments in technology articles In short runs, Demand Today, well-respected printing, inkjet printing can be realized as a print variable data printing technology has been more attention, and the ink-jet printing technology continues to mature, drupa2008, we also see more and more companies release of its innovative inkjet printing technology, and even have tried to put into application. 1, on-demand inkjet technology On-demand inkjet technology with continuous inkjet printing technology, the slow, but with better quality, wider application field advantage, while technically sound and mature, steady improvement in print speed, the industry of the press require acceptance of inkjet printing technology has been increasing. FUJIFILMDimatix new technology on display includes ShapedPiezoSiliconMEMS technology, using on-demand piezoelectric inkjet print heads and inkjet printing equipment single paper path prototype. Which, ShapedPiezoSiliconMEMS technology with intellectual property rights, is a flexible substrate can be realized, plastic, glass, metal, silicon, thin film substrates such as various types of precision printing surface. For the ink-jet printing technology to "Beyond Print", used in RFID, Flat panel displays, circuit boards and other high-speed, low-cost manufacturing technology provides unlimited opportunities for expansion, no doubt also become a hot topic drupa2008. Concern there, Kodak Introduced its first high-speed on-demand in the history of inkjet printers VersamarkVL2000. New VersamarkVL2000 to maintain the same speed with the existing VersamarkVT3000 same time, the color image quality be increased dramatically. 2, continuous inkjet printing technology Continuous inkjet printing technology as a high-speed digital Printing Equipment Widespread use of technology, widely used in digital printing equipment, drupa2008 will have several new display. Hewlett-Packard equipment for the current international environment are increasing calls in a timely launch of its Latex printing technologies and the first printer to use the technology. The core technology is the use of its new environmentally friendly water-based Latex Ink, has excellent water-soluble, odorless, safe, non-toxic harmless; and high image quality, without coating can be maintained under 3 years do not fade for outdoor large printing business. Kodak drupa2008 also will showcase its newly developed inkjet printing technology and the concept of Stream Machine. Stream is a " Thermal Truncated (thermalpinch-off) "the new concept of continuous inkjet technology, while the ink is added 10 ~ 60nm particles, the unique properties of the ink drying, with faster speed and superior print quality, though still not immediately Expand industrial applications, but Kodak inkjet products represent the future of technology trends. 3, Inkski and Stream inkjet printing technology appeared shoulder to shoulder The latest product releases in the above articles, we have on the Kodak Stream inkjet technology for a detailed understanding. As a new inkjet technology, Kodak's Stream was most customers consider to be most promising, because it applies to short runs, but also to long-printing, and Inkski is a commercial application will technology. Stream and Inksk have adopted different from the mainstream market, inkjet methods, but they have in common is to use a single print head to achieve higher linear speed. It is understood that most of the current ink-jet device using multiple print heads for production. At drupa, the Kodak display a speed of 2.5 m / s (500 ft / min) of the device, after the adoption of the Stream technology, its speed can be expected to become faster. Inkski claims its print head can be 10-20 m / sec to work, claiming that their company has proven this concept, and in the next year and four-to five-year period with its own concept of the print head and the printing press.
