Printing speed and the quality of printouts
Each printer type of the RAPID series could be used for production speeds up to 1000 m/min.
However, the quality of the printouts would not be acceptable using the wrong printer for a
certain speed.
Therefore, it is important to know which type of printer to select for which speed.
RAPID Wire
The RAPID Wire comes with a special print head that allows a nearly zero distance between print
head and substrate. This makes it possible to work at the highest speeds.
The print head of the RAPID wire is designed especially for printing on wires. Nevertheless, the
print head may also be used for all other kind of products as long as they fit to the special design
of the print head.
Due to this design, the print head should only be used for substrates with a
diameter smaller
than 5 mm
. For substrates with a larger diameter or thickness, it is recommended using the
RAPID Highspeed or the RAPID Universal.
The print head of the RAPID Wire: designed for wire printing at high speeds
The illustrations show the special print head of the RAPID Wire printer with wires of different
diameters. It is important to get the wire, respectively the print head, in a position that
provides good print out results.
The closer the substrate is positioned to the outlet of the print head the better will be the
quality of the print out at high speeds.
It has also to be considered that the diameter of the wire affects the position of the print out
on the cable.
