An industrial printhead (100) comprising a flow channel enclosed in a chamber, wherein the flow channel (102) has at least one fluid inlet (102a) and at least one fluid outlet (102b), wherein the flow channel is resonated, in use, by a vibration distributor (104) comprising a mass resonator (103), piezoelectric exciter (108) and wave concentrator (110) arranged in an axial configuration.

A droplet discharging apparatus may include a transfer part moving a substrate including a first target position in a first direction, an inkjet head disposed on the transfer part and discharging a first droplet to the first target position of the substrate, a first camera positioned in a second direction opposite to the first direction of the inkjet head, the first camera acquiring a first image corresponding to the first target position of the substrate, a second camera positioned in the first direction of the inkjet head, the second camera acquiring a second image corresponding to the first target position of the substrate, and an image processor receiving the first image and the second image, and comparing the first image and the second image to inspect a discharge state of the first droplet.

This disclosure relates to a printing device for printing or dispensing a curable printing composition which is capable of changing color in response to the application of a magnetic field in the non-cured state. The printing device may be a handheld device such as a portable pen. The present disclosure further relates to curable compositions, cartridges and methods which may be used in combination with the aforementioned printing devices or in other applications.

A metal ejecting apparatus is disclosed. The metal ejecting apparatus includes a nozzle orifice in connection with the inner cavity and configured to eject one or more droplets of a liquid metal may include the metal printing material, and a first sensor pair in contact with an internal surface of a lower portion of the inner cavity. Each sensor pair is electrically connected to a printing material feed system where the printing material feed system is configured to receive an electrical signal indicative of an electrical connection from each sensor pair when the metal printing material bridges the electrical connection between each sensor in each sensor pair. A method of controlling level in a metal jetting apparatus is also disclosed.

A water-based ink includes a pigment, and water, in which a viscosity at 20° C. is in a range of 2 mPa.Math.s to 7 mPa.Math.s, and a yield value at 20° C. is less than 0.2 mPa, and the yield value at 20° C. when evaporating 25% of the water is less than 0.8 mPa.

A printing platform includes a printing engine with one or more printheads arranged such that the ink drops are jetted vertically upwards against the action of gravity; and a substrate transportation system where the normal to the surface in contact with the substrate is parallel and with opposite direction to the travelling direction of the jetted ink drops. It is necessary to counteract the weight of the substrate during the printing process to avoid it from falling under the action of gravity. This is achieved through any of a mechanical element that interferes with the falling of the substrate and that keeps it in place; or a system that generates adhesion forces between the element that transmits the motion to the substrate, typically a conveyor belt, and the substrate through the action of electrostatic forces, an air pressure differential between both faces of the substrate, or any other suitable mechanism.

A printer and a control method of a printer can print barcodes appropriately according to a given print medium by means of a simple, easy operation. The printer stores a constant preset correction value relationally corresponding to each type of print medium. The printer also stores an added correction value that is optionally input for each specific type of print medium. The preset constant correction value and the added correction value are used to adjust the printed state of the barcode, e.g. to adjust bar widths within the barcode. The print control unit prints barcodes as adjusted using the preset constant correction value stored in the printer storage unit and further adjusted using the added correction value.
