The IMI Europe Inkjet Academy course covers the background to the inkjet technology used in today’s applications and gives your understanding of the industry an expert start.

The course introduces the key types of inkjet technology and how they operate. It then describes how printheads operate, with an overview of the key models in use today. You will learn how inks are formulated, the important materials used, and how inkjet inks behave in a printhead. The course also covers ink supply systems, software, motion systems and the integration of these components into an inkjet system. Testing inks and systems is also covered, along with nozzle maintenance and print quality. The course then looks at some key applications from a market and technology point of view with instructive case studies, before looking at new and emerging areas.

Presented by Dr Mark Bale of DoDxAct and Dr Tim Phillips of Catenary Solutions and IMI Europe, the course provides an introduction to the technology for anyone entering the inkjet industry, while also being useful for those seeking a technology update. The course also provides an ideal first step for those wishing to study inkjet in greater detail at one of IMI Europe’s other courses.
