Continuous ink jet technology uses
electrically charged ink droplets to create high quality characters based on
a grid formation. Using a wide range of inks that have been developed for
specific industry applications, the Domino A-Series can print text,
graphics and variable data directly onto food, glass, plastic, metal,
rubber and other substrates.How
it Works
The Domino A-Series print head contains an ink
drop-generator with a vibrating drive rod. This creates ultrasonic pressure
waves in the ink, breaking up the stream of ink into individual droplets.
When this stream of droplets falls between a set of electrodes, individual
droplets are intermittently charged. The size of the charge given to each
droplet determines how far it will be deflected out of the stream when
passing through the deflector plates and therefore it's placement on the
product.
By placing a collection of these droplets
close together, a variety of characters are printed as the product passes
the print head. Droplets not deflected out of the stream are re-circulated
to repeat the process.
Key Benefits
- Automatic self-cleaning print head
guarantees print nozzle stays unobstructed, even on frequent start-stop
production lines
- Superior print head technology provides
better drop placement and print quality
- High speed printing that keeps up
with the fastest production environments
- Non-contact printing enables uneven and
flexible surfaces to be coded
