Inkjet printhead components

We manufacture a variety of precision components that are used within industrial and commercial continuous Inkjet printers. These printers, with a resolution of up to 128 dpi, are used throughout the world to print both text and graphics on a wide range of media such as magazines, plastic cards and packaging.

Examples of these Inkjet printhead components are:

Charge electrodes
Used to impart a tiny electrical charge to each ink droplet
Phase detectors & live blocks
Used to detect when an ink droplet has recived an electrical charge
Inkjet nozzle plates
Once drilled with up to 256 micro holes, it creates an array of more than 19 million droplets of ink per second.

The printhead components we manufacture are among the most complex parts of a printer. Their manufacture involves a range of specialists processes that are core skills of ICT.

The processes involved in manufacturing these items includes the following:

• Micro lapping
• Sputtering
• Glassing
• Wire bonding

It is ICT’s experience and expertise in these processes that makes us so well-qualified to supply printhead components to the world’s leading continuous inkjet printer manufacturers.
