Printed Cardboard Cigarette Boxes Printed cardboard cigarette boxes: New development opportunities for inkjet printing

With the widespread use of the technology, inkjet printers have new opportunities for development, but at the same time, the market for a variety of claims to frustrate buyers. To this end, this article specifically summarizes three types of inkjet printing technology from major printer brands to help readers better understand the current inkjet printing technology.

HP PageWide printing technology

On April 18, 2013, HP released its second generation full format printing technology, PageWide, which HP now uses in its ProX line of commercial printing products. HP Office jet ProX series desktop printers and MFPS offer twice the speed and half the cost of color laser printers.

PageWide Technology uses a row of fixed and very dense nozzles to spray ink directly onto the printer paper passing underneath, achieving fast printing at the speed of paper walking.

The technology has four features: first, it can print up to 70 pages per minute. The other is to save the printing cost, compared with the color laser printer, the printing cost per page is reduced by 50%. Third, high printing quality and credibility. Fourth, it can be compatible with the enterprise's management and workflow network.

Epson micro piezoelectric printing technology

The inkjet printing technology on the market is mainly micro piezoelectric type and thermal bubble type, among which micro piezoelectric type is the unique technology of Epson.

By adjusting the pulse control of the piezoelectric element, the ink droplet of different sizes can be obtained, which realizes the purpose of using large ink droplet to improve the printing speed under the condition of high coverage of photographic paper, and relying on small ink droplet to ensure the printing accuracy under the condition of high precision printing. This is the intelligent ink droplet transformation technology of micro piezoelectric inkjet printing.

Meanwhile, the micro-piezoelectric technology relies on the piezoelectric element to first deform backwards to pull the ink droplet back, and then push the ink droplet forward to save energy for the ink droplet ejection and reduce the surface tension of the liquid, making the ejection droplet more round.

Epson micro piezoelectric printing technology increases the oscillation frequency and the efficiency of the ink droplet injection under the premise of moderately increasing the nozzle, ensuring higher printing speed.

Canon hot foam printing technology

Speaking of Canon's hot foam printing technology, we have to mention its FINE print head technology, in fact, the two are the same thing. The FINE technology can produce an ultra-small volume and allow the ink drop to reach the minimum particle of 1 picoll to ensure a more delicate image output.

The principle of hot foam printing technology is actually based on thermal responsive inkjet technology. Thermal responsive inkjet technology has the ability to reduce the ink droplet ejection area and the integrated circuit cycle technology, which can make the ink droplet volume smaller.

Another advantage of the smaller size of the drops is that they are sprayed more frequently. Low operating frequency, high number of nozzles and the resolution of a single printing times are the basic elements of high speed printing. Therefore, thermal inkjet technology can improve the printing speed, and improve the efficiency of the printer.
