Inkjet Printing Quality Control

Although inkjet printing technology was developed a long time ago, its potential for commercial and industrial printing applications is greater than initially conceived. Today, high-end industrial printers can deposit, at high-speed, micro-size droplets of a wide variety of inks on demand onto a micro-scale target area with high precision. These capabilities make inkjet printing suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, far beyond the scope of traditional graphics production. The Inkjet Droplet Sizer (IDS) is designed to measure droplet characteristics (size, velocity, and direction) in industrial inkjet printing processes. Applications include mass-production of printed electronics, OLED displays, ceramics printing, and many more.
