1.1 Introduction to Memjet
R
print technology
Memjet™ Technology is a revolutionary printing technology developed by Silverbrooks
Research (Sidney, Australia). The core of this technology is a full paper width printhead
capable of printing the entire page width at the same time without head movement.
The result of this setup is a breakthrough 12 inch (305 mm) per second printing speed.
The printhead is manufactured with state-of-the art semiconductor technology; an A4
head contains 70,400 nozzles delivering 1600 dpi native resolution at full colour. The
nozzles are arranged in 10 rows having 2 rows for each ink channels. The fixed head
spans the width of the label and feeds an entire label at a time similar to a laser printer.
This architecture dramatically improves performance and ink drop placement accuracy
during printing, while decreasing noise and vibration
