| Abstract Scope |
Inkjet technology has gained widespread usage across various industrial applications due to its high resolution and versatility in printing with different materials. However, its printing speed has limited its application in high-volume production. This paper discusses the extension of a previously developed model for predicting the effects of a single-pulse driving signal on inkjet printing speed to include the effects of double-pulse waveforms. It is hypothesized that the use of double-pulse waveforms can further improve the printing speed of inkjet technology by producing large droplets at a higher frequency. The model is then used to understand the effects of double-pulse waveform parameters on the printing speed. Optimization is then performed to obtain parameters that can achieve maximum printing speed. The results are validated experimentally, which indicates the optimized double-pulse signal can successfully achieve jetting with a significant increase in equivalent printing speed compared to the single-pulse waveform. |
