Reliability and Performance with Differing Fluid Characteristics
Impika of Marseilles, France, has won critical acclaim for innovation
and business leadership from the French Ministry of Industry and
Innovation for its broad vision and industry leading products.
Impika’s products cover a wide range of applications in the printing
and decorative, electronics fabrication and biomedical industries.
Their new-generation flexible print engine, the Impika Printing
System (IPS), serves the printing and decorative market. IPS is a
modular print engine developed as either an add-on to a traditional
analog press or integrated into a new generation of equipment for
monochrome or color applications.
The IPS’s modular design makes it readily configurable to meet
specific requirements for resolution, ink type, printwidth and
throughput. Printwidths can range from 6 cm (2.4 in.) to 36 cm (14
in.) with resolutions from 90 to 600 dots per inch and up to 9 colors
are possible, including white inks. The IPS is used to decorate CD,
DVD, smart cards, packaging, labeling, and bar-coded products.
Impika is currently developing systems and solutions for
microelectronic industry. The “MATJET” (material jetting) technology
from Impika, combining DOD ink jet and special fluids will offer
unrivaled solution for very low manufacturing cost of RFID, flat panel
displays, chip connection, etc. Their long-term development plans
include products for medical applications such as in-situ test and DNA
arrays. All systems are based on ink jet technology. In addition to
product development, Impika offers its considerable expertise on a
consultancy basis.
Over the last 16 years Impika investigated many imaging technologies
but ink jet was determined to be the key technology. Spectra printheads
were chosen for their reliability, their ability to support multiple fluid types
including conductive, adhesive, protective coatings and densely pigmented
inks and their ability to maintain a high throughput.
“Our business demands printheads with high performance and
reliability, jetting vastly differing fluid characteristics and types.
When we were evaluating printheads, we determined Spectra
printheads to best suit our exacting requirements. It’s a
decision we have never regretted.”
