Inkjet Head "CX1"
Pushing the boundary of high-speed, high-productivity printing
- High speed and high productivity with a droplet size capacity of up to 16 pL at 47 kHz*1
- Optimised ink channel design for stable jetting at high frequencies
- New driver circuit enabling high-speed driving waveform with low power consumption*2
-
*1:The CX1 model has the highest productivity per nozzle among commercially available printheads with an equivalent minimum droplet size, based on internal market research conducted in February 2024.
-
*2:Our study shows that the power consumption of the CX1 model can be reduced by 67% compared with that of the CF3 model for the same level of productivity output.
Features
1. CX1 Structure and Performance Benchmark
CX1 adopts an isolated-wall structure to achieve high-speed driving of up to 47 kHz with a droplet size of 16 pL, allowing for unrivalled productivity compared with other models adopting a shared-wall structure.
Isolated-Wall Structure for High-Speed Printing
Comparison of Productivity
Exceptional productivity among printheads with a minimum droplet volume around 6 pL.
Droplet Speed vs. Frequency
CX1’s drop speed remains stable within the range of ±10% against frequency, assuming the drop velocity has a normalised value of 1 at 20 kHz.
Print Sample
CX1 produces high-quality printing results even when operated at a frequency as high as 47 kHz with a droplet size of 16 pL.

※CX1 is a native 600-npi head with four rows of nozzles, with the nozzles being laterally offset from each other by 1/600 inch. Dot positions when used for 2 colours are offset accordingly.
-
※Gradation levels and drop volumes depend upon the type of ink used. The maximum printing speed and linear frequency can be increased by reducing the number of drops per dot (dpd).
-
※Seven units of power supplies are required for driving the printhead (one unit used for +3.3 V, two units used for 0 to +20 V and four units used for +18 to +35 V).
-
※The specifications above may be modified due to certain circumstances.
