Basics of piezo driven inkjet print heads: Fluid dynamics and nozzle design

Prof J. Frits Dijksman of the University of Twente explains the basic principles of fluid mechanics behind the operation of an inkjet printhead, comparing it with a musical instrument.

Think you can't push your production speeds? This speed boost equation says you can!

Production speed is an ever-present challenge in digital printing, and is often exacerbated by thermal management challenges. Bart van Liempd of Exergen explains how the use of their thermal management sensors and equation can help boost production speeds.

Inkjet for décor – is this a dream or a reality?
