High-Speed Inkjet Imagers

Faculty:

Students: Moussa Ba, Cathy Chen, Amy Loomis

An Overview

The overall purpose of the project is to develop a reconfigurable embedded processing system for a scalable, continuous, high-speed industrial inkjet imager. Inkjet images work by discharging micro-droplets of ink that penetrate into the surface layer of the intended product. After drying, these droplets of ink leave behind small circular markings or dots, as small as 1/600th of an inch in diameter that forms the desired print. For industrial systems, inkjets are stationary while the media moves beneath the heads. The deliverable for this project would be a design for an industrial imager that is capable of printing 600 pages/min at 150x600dpi, 300 pages/min at 300x600, 150 pages/min at 600x600.
