Continuous Ink Jet (Small Character) |
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 WorksThe 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
