One can use this model for ceramics, glass, wood, apparel & home textiles, corrugated cardboards, varnish & coating, coding & marking, and additive manufacturing. It doesn’t end here. With higher pigment concentrations, the equipment gives the highest productivity of up to 2477 µL/sec per head with a greyscale comprising of 10 drops.
Another vital attribute of this device is its high jetting frequency and most importantly the recirculation technology ensures the lowest and easiest maintenance.
