Excellence in Industrial Printing
1. High resolution brings fine printing results
StarFire 1024 print head has a resolution of 400DPI , this parameter means that it is able to spray more ink droplets per unit area, thus realizing high-precision printing. In practice, whether it is tiny text on a label or a beautiful pattern on a package, the printhead is able to present it clearly and delicately. For example, in label printing, some of the product information that needs to be accurately labeled, such as the ingredient description of medicines, parameter labeling of electronic products, etc., the resolution of 400DPI ensures that the edges of the text are sharp and free of jaggedness, so that consumers can easily read the information. For packaging printing, complex patterns and gradient colors can also be accurately reproduced by the printhead, enhancing the visual appeal of product packaging.
2. Variable Droplet Technology for Flexible Printing
The advanced variable droplet technology is a highlight of the StarFire 1024 printhead. It can achieve 7 - 25pl droplet printing, and supports three-level grayscale printing. The gray levels are precisely controlled by a wave pattern that matches the ink, providing excellent compatibility between the printhead and the ink. This variable droplet technology has a number of advantages in real-world printing. In image printing, for the bright highlights in the picture, smaller ink drops can be used for printing to make the color transition more natural and delicate; while for the darker shadow areas, larger ink drops are used to enhance the saturation and depth of colors. When printing patterns with a sense of hierarchy, different sizes of ink droplets can work together to build a rich sense of three-dimensionality, making the print effect more realistic.
3. Efficient Ink Recycling System Guarantees Stable Operation
Redijet® dual ink internal recycling technology is another core advantage of the StarFire 1024 printhead. In the printing process, ink deposits and bubble interference is a common problem, they may lead to clogging of the printhead, affecting the smoothness and continuity of printing. The printhead minimizes these problems by continuously circulating ink through the nozzles and nozzle panel ink chambers. The continuous flow of ink not only prevents deposits, but also quickly disperses air bubbles, ensuring that the printhead is always in optimal working condition. This technology also allows the printheads to be quickly prepared for a print job, reducing equipment warm-up and waiting times and improving overall productivity. At the same time, the recycling of ink also reduces waste and lowers production costs.
4. Rugged and Repairable Design Reduces Cost of Ownership
The StarFire 1024 printhead utilizes a rugged and repairable design concept. The three areas of the internal structure that are prone to clogging problems - the piezo chamber channels, the internal printhead filter and the nozzle plate - are all designed to be individually cleanable or replaceable parts. In practice, once a nozzle becomes clogged, the user does not need to replace the entire printhead as is the case with conventional printheads, but only needs to deal with the clogged part. This design greatly reduces maintenance costs and extends the life of the printhead. For some frequent use of the print head for the enterprise, the serviceable design reduces equipment downtime, improve productivity, in the long run, for the enterprise to save a lot of money and time costs.
5. Wide range of ink compatibility expands application scenarios
The Starlight 1024 SA model is compatible with solvent, UV-cured and water-based ink formulations, which makes it useful in a wide range of different industrial scenarios. In the field of textile printing, water-based ink formulations can achieve bright colors and soft touch printing effects to meet the needs of apparel, home textiles and other products; for outdoor advertising and other wide-format image printing that requires long-term durability, UV curing ink formulations can make the print content with good weatherability and abrasion resistance; and solvent-based inks have an advantage in the printing of some special materials, such as plastics, metals and other surfaces. The solvent-based inks are advantageous for printing on special materials, such as plastics and metals. Starlight 1024 LC model is optimized for ceramics and decorative printing, to meet the stringent requirements of these specific areas of printing results, adding a unique artistic appeal to the product.
6. Outstanding High-Speed Printing Performance Boosts Productivity
Designed to meet today's demanding industrial systems for high-speed scanning and one-pass printing, the StarFire 1024 printhead excels at high-speed printing. Combined with its advanced ink circulation and nozzle technology, it is able to achieve high output speeds while maintaining high print quality. In production scenarios that require high volumes of printing, such as large-scale label printing and batch packaging production, high-speed printing performance can significantly shorten the production cycle and increase the productivity of an organization. Compared with traditional printheads, StarFire 1024 printheads can complete the same number of print jobs in a shorter period of time, for enterprises to win more market opportunities.
7. Good system integration into the production process
In industrial production, the system integration of equipment is critical. The StarFire 1024 printhead's mechanical interface is designed for easy integration into existing manufacturing lines. The print bar has all the necessary technology for stand-alone operation, and can be flexibly placed in the production line in some hard-to-reach locations or high, space-saving at the same time, without affecting its normal operation. The controllers can either operate independently and print according to a preset program, or they can be operated through standard industrial line control interfaces, making it easy to link up and work with other production equipment. This system integration makes it easy to integrate the StarFire 1024 printhead into existing production processes when upgrading or retrofitting equipment, reducing the difficulty and cost of system integration.
