Ink-Jet Printing
|
|
A term that refers to a number of differing printing technologies, all of which accomplish basically the same result: delivering streams of ink drops, which are deflected onto the substrate, based on data contained in digital files. Ink-jet technology does not require the use of an image carrier, or plate. Many desktop printers, as well as a number of digital presses, employ ink-jet technology. When using ink-jet printing devices, an entire application can be printed with static data, as it would be on a conventional piece of printing equipment, or the application can be printed with variable data in which every piece in a single print run is unique. The main types of ink-jet technologies are continuous jet and drop-on-demand.
