Influence of the Surface Tension of Edible Ink to Piezoelectric Ink-jet Printing Drop State
Ink-jet printing technology is the mainstream of digital printing,and piezoelectric ink-jet printing is the main ink-jet printing at present,besides,drops injection and controlling technology is the key to the development of ink-jet printing technology.The surface tension plays an important role in the drops generation process,it will restrict the length and the state of the drop,further influence ink-jet printing quality.Six edible ink samples with different surface tension are prepared in order to research the influence of the surface tension to the piezoelectric inkjet Printing drop state,then the drop state is observed and its speed and volume are measured through drops observatory.The result shows that the speed of drop is higher if the inks surface tension is lower,but the drop is easier to gather into spherical drop and it also has smaller tail length and bigger volume.
