1. Precision Machining
Printheads are extremely sophisticated devices, requiring precision machining during production. Inkjet printheads, in particular, require micro-nanofabrication technologies, utilizing techniques such as photolithography, evaporation, and ion beam engraving to create micron-scale nozzle orifices.
2. Surface Treatment
The surface treatment of the printhead where it contacts the media is crucial and can impact print quality and lifespan. Common surface treatment methods include electroless plating and electrochemical plating.
3. Quality Control
Printhead quality control is crucial to ensure printhead performance and lifespan. Quality control encompasses the entire process, from raw materials to processing and assembly, as well as comprehensive inspection and testing of the finished product.
