IMG-01 DEVELOPMENT OF NEW NOZZLE FOR CONTINUOUS INKJET PRINTERS(Imaging and Printing Technologies I,Technical Program of Oral Presentations)

抄録

We describe the development of new nozzle for continuous inkjet printers. We designed the shape of its orifices using a robust design method, and next we decided the best production method. This method consists of drilling steps and a punching step. We fabricated a nozzle with the accuracy of 1μm or less in diameter. We confirmed that the new nozzle can be used for more than 10,000 hours.
