Schematic diagram of a continuous inkjet printing process The continuous inkjet (CIJ) method is used commercially for marking and coding of products and packages. In 1867, Lord Kelvin patented the syphon recorder , which recorded telegraph signals as a continuous trace on paper using an ink jet nozzle deflected by a magnetic coil.
A continuous ink system ( CIS ), also known as a continuous ink supply system ( CISS ), a continuous flow system ( CFS ), an automatic ink refill system ( AIRS ), a bulk feed ink system ( BFIS ), or an off-axis ink delivery system ( OIDS) is a method for delivering a large volume of liquid ink to a comparatively small inkjet printhead.
The process of printing of low-melting point metals is called "direct melt printing" and was introduced in 1971 by Johannes F Gottwald patent, US3596285, "Liquid Metal Recording" with a Continuous inkjet (CIJ) long before any form of 3D Printing was ever considered.
3D printing processes. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model used for 3D printing. The manual modeling process of preparing geometric data for 3D computer graphics is similar to plastic arts such as sculpting. 3D scanning is a process of collecting digital data on the shape and appearance of a real object, creating a digital model based on it.
Dot matrix printing. Dot matrix printing, [1] sometimes called impact matrix printing, is a computer printing process in which ink is applied to a surface using a relatively low-resolution dot matrix for layout. Dot matrix printers are a type of impact printer that prints using a fixed number of pins or wires [2] [3] and typically use a print ...
Offset printing is a common printing technique in which the inked image is transferred (or "offset") from a plate to a rubber blanket and then to the printing surface. When used in combination with the lithographic process, which is based on the repulsion of oil and water , the offset technique employs a flat ( planographic ) image carrier.
A line printer prints one entire line of text before advancing to another line. [1] Most early line printers were impact printers . Line printers are mostly associated with unit record equipment and the early days of digital computing, but the technology is still in use. Print speeds of 600 lines per minute [2] (approximately 10 pages per ...
Slot-die coating is a coating technique for the application of solution, slurry, hot-melt, or extruded thin films onto typically flat substrates such as glass, metal, paper, fabric, plastic, or metal foils. The process was first developed for the industrial production of photographic papers in the 1950's. [1]
