Ink Jet - Head Ink Jet Print Heads must be:
- scalable for high speeds, - scalable print width, - jet a high opacity white ink - jet new (additional) fluids
-
Ink Jet - InkMust have characteristics such as:- Ink properties to work with surface tension of most substratesCover a wide color gamut to match high % of Pantone rangePrint high opacity white Have high chemical & scratch resistanceHave high degree of light fastness
-
Ink Jet - SoftwareMust have characteristics such as:
Highly accurate press linearization Ink limiting function to reduce costsAccurate substrate profilingHigh speed ripping & ditheringAccurate color management
