(See also Piezoelectric inkjet and Thermal inkjet).
(I) Inkjet printing
Open info
Close info
A printer that sprays drops of ink onto the substrate to form an image. Drop on-demand inkjet shoots out single drops of ink, while continuous inkjet sprays a constant stream of small droplets. (See also Continuous inkjet and Drop on-demand inkjet).
