Inkjet Legend Printing

Inkjet - Digital Legend Printing:

The JetRite Legend Printing System eliminates the need for conventional processes as Screen-Printing and Photo-Lithographic processes. The conventional processes are extremely labor intense and require skilled operation. The JetRite also eliminates the need for many expensive consumable materials such as Artwork plotting, developing, setting up screens, cleaning etc.

The Process:

Before each printout the print heads get cleaned automatically to ensure stable printout results. Using 3 point alignment to compensate board translation, rotation and scaling.
Automatic Panel height measurement using a laser unit & Printhead height adjustment.
Automatic Alignment using customer defined fiducial positions, it is possible to define one set of standard fiducial positions per board size and side.
On The Fly Tack Curing by means of UV pattern-zoom.
Possible to print second (back) side immediately.
Standby:
- After an adjustable amount of time (typically 45 minutes) of inactivity the machine automatically enters standby mode.
- In Standby the machine becomes suspended as far as possible by switching of the heating of ink and heads.
- The Standby mode assures regular cleaning of ink system and print heads. After exiting standby the machine needs about 30 seconds to get ready to print.
Print head cleaning:
- Optionally a more intense cleaning can be automatically done after a configurable time interval, allowing to adjust the cleaning actions for the different customers' demands and conditions. In case of persistently faulty printouts the operator can invoke an intense print head cleaning by clicking a button on the user interface.
