Understanding Printhead Requirements for Single Pass Applications

Designing an inkjet print process for your inhouse manufacturing? Looking for the right process for your industrial or commercial printing needs? Finding the right printheads for your particular process, product substrate, speed and manufacturing needs can be a daunting process. Print heads are vital to the print quality and process of the printed piece when integrating or developing an inkjet print application. But what printheads are right for you? Single pass and XY configurations require different specifications. Depending on the process, ink and configuration, print head requirements will vary.

Join Mark Bale of DoDxAct, Ltd. and Mary Schilling of Inkjet Insight, Tuesday, November 9, 2021, 1:00 PM ET to discuss these variables which must be considered for a successful single pass print integration.

Finishing Takes Control

True print and color quality are not only determined on the print engine but on the finishing line as well, where tension, folding, cutting, and binding can make or break registration, color stability, and overall consistency. Automated imposition, real?time image correction, barcode-driven control, and robotic trimming eliminate cumulative errors, color drift, and mechanical damage, enabling short?run and variable?data books to maintain perfect registration and color fidelity, proving print quality cannot truly be judged until the product is fully finished.
