Digital Printing
Numerous printing applications are rapidly converting from conventional "analog" printing techniques, like offset lithography and roto-gravure, to digital technology such as "drop-on-demand" (DoD) inkjet and drop continuous. The most widely used techniques for designing industrial inkjet printheads is with piezo electric technology.
► Inkjet printing |
► 3D printing |
► Commercial printing |
► Thermo printing |
► Label printing |
► Glue dispensing |
Printers nowadays can print on everything. Think about: ceramic printing, printing of your PCB, on glass or round objects. All of this is done with inkjet.
