In life we are surrounded by images, we find them in more and more applications with amazing quality and definition. Haven’t you ever wondered how they are printed? The answer lies in large format digital printers.
They can be different types depending on the size and the material you want to print, rigid or flexible but they are all inkjet printers.
Basically they work like domestic printers but although they seem simple these machines hide high-technology because the digital revolution is transforming the world of graphic production by providing greater versatility, shorter and more customized production runs as well as greater precision in colors.
The process begins when the document is sent to the printer memory. If printing on paper the reel is placed on a roller that is driven mechanically so that the paper arrives at the printer intake without wrinkles.
The digital printing ink moves from large cartridges to the print heads which are the key components of a printer. The print heads contain injectors, tiny holes through which drops of ink are released its job is to project the right amount of digital ink onto the paper.
The print heads travel over the paper in horizontal strips using one motor to move laterally and another to move the paper in vertical steps.
As they are passing they are releasing drops of ink like this starting from basic colors a whole range of colors is obtained, although large format printers use more as the line is printed another roller moves the paper towards the outlet like until the data in the memory are finished.
When printing rigid materials tables are used for the intake and outlet to respond to the quality and speed required parts for these robust printers have to be designed & manufactured with a maximum precision.
Graphic production is continuing to take huge steps in ecology, quality, diversity of materials and flexibility to give our lives the best image.
