Potential of Inkjet Technology
Inkjet technology is revolutionizing the field of digital printing, enabling a wider range of print media and various kinds of new applications. Below is an overview of inkjet technologies, current applications using Kyocera's inkjet printheads, and potential applications in the near future.
Introduction to Inkjet Technology
In simple terms, inkjet technology can be described as "jetting picoliter-sized* droplets of ink onto objects ("media") to print images or alphanumeric characters." Inkjet printing is done without physically contacting the print medium, which may be paper, fabric, or another material. Click to further explore the mechanism for jetting ink.
*A picoliter (pL) is a unit of volume equal to one-trillionth of a liter (10-12L).
Applications for Inkjet Technology
Kyocera's inkjet printheads are used in a variety of fields and applications that require the characteristics of "non-contact printing" and "uniform jetting of small droplets."
