Application & Configuration Guidelines
Internal technical reference manual for matching controller specifications to target industrial applications.
Drop Volume Drop Size Configuration Guidelines
35 pL (Ultra Precision)
Tight drop size engineered for fine detail serialization, GS1 micro-traceability, and compact electronic component marking.
50 pL (High Precision)
Standard profile optimized for primary packaging barcodes, high-resolution text, expiry dates, and sharp brand logos.
80 pL (High Density)
Heavy ink laydown designed for rough, highly absorbent surfaces or high-visibility durable marking requiring maximum contrast.
Ink Base Porous vs. Non-Porous Surfaces
- Oil-Based Formulations: Deploy exclusively on Porous materials such as standard unvarnished corrugated outer cartons, raw timber, brick, and bulk paper sacks.
- UV-Cured Formulations: Required for Non-Porous substrates including glossy coated films, automated multi-lane plastic pouches, PCB boards, and metallic surfaces.
