The FUJIFILM Dimatix SKYFIRE SF600 printhead is the next generation product in the company’s portfolio. At this year’s drupa, Fujifilm Dimatix invites visitors to Discover The Difference at their booth, located at Hall 8b / A02 – A02-6, where the company’s inkjet technologies will be on display showcasing their key tenets - Performance, Productivity, Durability and Support.
Performance
The FUJIFILM Dimatix SKYFIRE SF600 printhead delivers 600DPI resolution with drop size range of 5-25pL and nozzle layout that enables high throw distance to meet a broad range of applications. To ensure consistent output, the FUJIFILM Dimatix SKYFIRE SF600 is equipped with an integrated trimming heater and temperature sensor as well as REDIJET® coating for optimal use of aqueous and UV inks. Rounding up these features is top and tail alignment for compact integration and improved printhead to printhead accuracy.
Productivity
The FUJIFILM Dimatix SKYFIRE SF600 printhead incorporates high-speed jet design, with REDIJET elements including noise dampening technology and dual recirculation for reliable jetting at high speeds. The printhead can jet 11 grams of ink per square meter per color at over 130 meters per minute with four levels of grayscale. OEMs benefit from versadrop open waveform editing capability. For decades, this capability has enabled developers to tune printhead performance to their specific application.
Durability
The FUJIFILM Dimatix SKYFIRE SF600 printhead is taking advantage of FUJIFILM Dimatix’ proprietary sputtered PZT rated for trillions of actuations. It is designed with REDIJET coatings that enables it to reliably jet a range of aqueous solvent, oil and UV curable types common in large single-pass and scanning printing systems.
Support
FUJIFILM Dimatix has a dedicated worldwide field organization which offers exceptional support to ensure successful customer product development.
FUJIFILM Dimatix has partnered with several OEMs as early adopters across multiple industry segments who are testing and deploying the FUJIFILM Dimatix SKYFIRE SF600 printhead in their solutions. One of these early adopters is Shenzhen KINGT Technology Co., Ltd (KingT), a digital inkjet printing solution provider using the FUJIFILM SKYFIRE SF600 inkjet printhead in its newly introduced KGT-2513-Hi flatbed printer. KingT will be exhibiting at the upcoming drupa trade show located at booth B03 (Hall 8a). At their booth, KingT will display several products and samples printed using FUJIFILM Dimatix printheads including FUJIFILM Dimatix SAMBA® based label printers, the L-Press 330s and L-Press510, FUJIFILM Dimatix STARFIRE® based décor printer and the FUJIFILM Dimatix SKYFIRE based flatbed printer, the KGT-2513-Hi.
