Specifications of Water-based Digital Inkjet Printers

The specifications of water-based digital inkjet printers are often defined by their print width, a key indicator of the equipment's application scope. Common models range from 1.6 meters and 1.8 meters to 3.2 meters in width, with industrial-grade units offering even wider formats suitable for large-scale advertising graphics or continuous industrial textile production.

Key printing performance specifications include resolution, printhead type, and print speed. Resolution typically ranges from 600 dpi to 2400 dpi, with some high-end models achieving finer detail through multi-pass scanning. Printheads generally utilize piezoelectric technology, with droplet sizes typically ranging from 1.5 to 10 picoliters. Print speeds vary significantly depending on the precision mode, ranging from tens to hundreds of square meters per hour.

Water-based digital inkjet printers typically employ a CMYK four-color system, though some models incorporate additional light-colored inks-such as Lc (Light Cyan), Lm (Light Magenta), and LK (Light Black)-to enhance tonal transitions and skin tone reproduction. Ink types include both dye-based and pigment-based options, with pigment-based inks being better suited for applications requiring high lightfastness and stability.

Standard equipment features include automatic ink supply systems, negative pressure control systems, printhead cleaning and capping (moisturizing) units, and infrared or hot-air drying systems. Specifications regarding compatible substrate width and thickness, as well as data transmission interfaces (such as USB, Gigabit Ethernet, or industrial control interfaces), are also standard. Collectively, these parameters determine the equipment's industrial suitability and production efficiency.
