Fujifilm Dimatix, a world-leading supplier of drop-on-demand inkjet printheads, has announced innovations within its Samba Printhead line. The improvements “build upon a long and innovative history of providing industrial printheads that deliver excellent dot placement accuracy, channel-to-channel uniformity, low crosstalk and high frequency/high productivity” with their Samba printheads. Fujifilm Dimatix will soon have available GMA products based on Si-Mems technology, along with the Samba G3L (single-pass focus) Printhead. The Samba GMA is a compact, low-voltage, full-silicon Mems printhead designed for scanning applications such as textile, indoor signage, soft (dye sub) signage and high quality UV printing. Based on state-of-the-art silicon micro-electro-mechanical systems manufacturing (Si-Mems), Samba GMA printheads “are the most advanced technology available today,” said the OEM. With 384 individually addressable nozzles, the Samba GMA 33 Printhead has a native 300-dpi resolution and a native ink-drop size of 5 picolitres, delivering outstanding print quality that can jet a wide range of fluids including UV curable, solvent and aqueous inks. Other features include RediJet continuous ink recirculation, VersaDrop multi-level grayscale plus multi-drop and fixed-drop sizes in binary mode, robust design, high-speed operation, and multiple ink capabilities.
“The speed, precision and scalability of the Samba GMA platform sets a new standard for scanning printer designs, providing significantly expanded capabilities that system developers will need to meet the requirements of high-speed, high-image-quality printing,” said Terry O’Keeffe, Strategic Customer Support Manager, Fujifilm Dimatix.
