"The Golden Triangle"
Printing is a subtle interplay between printhead, substrate and ink. Certain types of ink require specific types of substrate and printheads, and vice versa.

At ES-International, we supply measuring equipment that enables our customers to test and, if necessary, adjust the interplay between these three aspects.


ES-International’s state-of-the-art systems offer the following possibilities:

Ink head qualification 

• Drop Velocity 
• Drop volume 
• Drop position (2D & 3D, <1μm accuracy )
• Drop formation imaging

Ink validation: How does the ink (drop) behave? 

• Microseconds strobe & nanoseconds timing 
• Real time waveform editing 
• Piezo characterization 
• On substrate behavior & analysis 
• In-flight analysis
•  

Checking the print quality in tenths of nanometres 

• Static and dynamic print behaviour 
• Print quality

This is possible thanks to the special built-in functionality of our inkjet proofing system: 

• Head control 
• Substrate supply and discharge 
• Waveform generation and assessment 
• Ink transport and degassing
• Negative head

ES-International supplies tailor-made Inkjet Proofing Systems for the production environment.
For R&D departments, ES International uses a bench top model, an extremely powerful tool that can be used to test all aspects of inkjet systems.
