1. ImageXpert | Inkjet & Dispensing for Printed Electronics: R&D to prototype and Pilot Production

Paul Best  | 2023

In this presentation, ImageXpert will discuss new technologies in inkjet for evaluating and optimizing processes in R&D and production. These tools allow you to build a better understanding of your inkjet process, improve the performance, and accelerate the rate of development. We will explore the latest analysis tools, from new dropwatching technologies to smarter prototyping printers.

In this presentation you will learn about the following:

• A Process for Optimization in Jetting/Dispensing Performance: Volume, Velocity, Trajectory, Satellite, Wetting, Print Quality Measurement: Feature Size, Dot Positioning, Edge Quality, Uniformity, Drop Impact
• Testing Inkjet Performance, Sustainability – Drop Analysis. Measuring Nozzles Across the Head,
• Testing Inkjet Performance JetXpert Print Station
• Optimizing Inkjet Performance:Pulse Width, Damping Pulse Spacing, Voltage
