design and manufacturing company founded by Hue Le, the former Director of
Technology Development for Tektronix Printing and Imaging Division, today
announced that it is ready to move into pilot production of a unique new piezo
inkjet printhead design aimed at companies designing industrial inkjet systems.
PicoJet is now looking for partners with whom it can scale up this technology to
address diverse industrial printing and fluidjetting applications including
biotech, electronics, radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and others.
This innovative new printhead technology delivers a number of significant
advantages.
Inkjet Printhead – Breakthrough
“Our new
design avoids almost all of the problems that reduce printhead performance,
making it a breakthrough for industrial printing and fluidjetting systems,” says
Ray Veillet, vice president of business development at PicoJet. “In addition,
our technology lends itself to automated manufacturing which can result in a
very low price, perhaps one dollar or less, per nozzle.”

Printhead – Metaltometal bond
The company’s new PJN256 printhead design
uses a patented, ultrasonic bonding technology which creates a metaltometal bond
allowing the printhead to be heated and to jet a wide range of very aggressive
ink chemistries including UVcurable, oil, water, solvent, hot melt (wax) and
other difficult to jet fluids. For example, in biotech applications it can act
as a micro pump dispensing fluids in picoliter doses. In electronics
applications it can be used to jet conductive fluids.Inkjet
Printhead – Significant advantages
This innovative new printhead
technology delivers a number of significant advantages. Because neither epoxy
nor ceramic are used in the ink channel, the printhead is not susceptible to
nozzle clogging and has the ability to jet virtually any fluid with a high level
of reliability. The design is also suitable for automated assembly for extremely
costeffective manufacture and low unit pricing.About PicoJet
PicoJet designs and manufactures stateoftheart piezoelectric dropondemand
printheads. The company was founded in 1997 by Hue Le, to develop a printhead
that could address the specific needs of a wide range of industrial printing
applications in biotechnology, drug related research, electronics/conductive
fluids, RFID tags and others. The company is now ready to partner with
developers of industrial printing and jetting systems and to move into pilot
production. -
