Fujifilm Dimatix Ink-jet Technology Demo Draws Crowds at Drupa

The XP-200 is based on DTI’s MerlinTM D general-purpose controller and integrated with a standard materials transport mechanism. DTI engineers outfitted it with standard Fujifilm Dimatix Galaxy printheads clustered into a 4-quad by 4-color array affectionately called “Sweet 16.”

The system stands about 8 feet high and 12 feet long, much of it to house a printhead cluster elevator, transport mechanism and UV curing unit. It even features edge detection technology, allowing objects randomly spaced on the transport belt to be printed accurately as they fly under the printhead cluster.
