Piezo Inkjet Printing Technology
Advanced industrial inkjet printing systems with precise, reliable, and efficient inkjet droplet generation
Core Technology Overview
At the core of advanced industrial inkjet printing systems, piezo technology provides precise, reliable, and efficient inkjet droplet generation. We offer solutions based on two major piezo inkjet technologies—Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) and Drop-on-Demand (DOD)—as well as specialized shear mode configurations.
Continuous Inkjet (CIJ)
Continuous Inkjet printing using piezo technology involves stimulating a droplet generator plate with piezoelectric vibrations. This breaks a continuous stream of ink into individual ink droplets, which can then be charged and directed by electrostatic fields to form the printed image.
This high-speed method is ideal for variable data printing, product marking, and high-volume industrial applications, where precision and speed are critical.
Key Applications:
- Variable data printing
- Product marking
- High-volume industrial applications
Drop-on-Demand (DOD)
In Drop-on-Demand piezo inkjet printing, the piezoelectric element changes shape when electrically charged, causing a controlled pressure pulse. This pulse ejects an individual ink droplet from the nozzle only when needed, reducing ink waste and allowing for high-resolution printing with excellent edge definition.
DOD technology is widely used in graphic arts, label printing, textile printing, and packaging applications.
Key Applications:
- Graphic arts
- Label printing
- Textile printing
- Packaging applications
Shear Mode Technology
Some advanced systems use shear-mode piezo actuation, where the piezo crystal is positioned on the side walls of the ink chamber. When charged, the crystal moves laterally, creating a shear pressure wave that forces an ink droplet out.
This enables fine control over droplet volume and placement, supporting precision applications in electronics printing, bio-printing, and functional inkjet manufacturing.
Key Applications:
- Electronics printing
- Bio-printing
- Functional inkjet manufacturing
