What's restricting large format inkjet printing?

First, the most common cause is the limit of inkjet heads. Inkjet heads are the souls of inkjet printers; inkjet head has direct impact on the print quality. To realize high speed and huge production, companies need to adopt controllable inkjet printing on large format, this kind of printing requests nozzle to change shower mode and ink ejective way at any time according to the information.

Secondly, people need to provide a good ink conveying system if they want inkjet printing function with a high quality. Printing ink in conveying process need to ensure that ink has certain liquidity and every drop above loading a small amount of electric charge, and then through the nozzle, spray scattered on things above printing. In this process, especially in multicolor printing process, the output console commands of the printing information need to be undertaken at any time according to printing design changes, which requires the printing machine itself a stable ink conveying system.

What's more, to realize your purpose in high-speed, rapid drying and not-easy volatilizing ink is necessary. Whereas, most inkjet companies are lack of the ability to produce such ink in a large amount, So costs of consumable items also become a bottleneck of large format inkjet printing.
