Dot and Line Formation Analysis for Solid Inkjet Printing

摘要

Droplet vision systems are employed to study on-drum and on-media multi-droplet line topologies in an offset solid ink printer. The experimental methods employed speak to the extensive printer characteristics that can be quantitatively studied. Several straightforward and illuminating examples are given such as drop topology as a function of dpi, line uniformity, jet precision and repeatability. A simple analytic model predicting topology is also shown. This data helps show the many benefits of an inkjet offset printing process.
