Ink-jet printer nozzle technology innovation industry to high-end development

Inkjet printer nozzle refers to the ink, dye, metal dispersant and other printing media at a certain speed from the jet hole to the substrate, so as to achieve the transmission of graphic information equipment. There are many types of inkjet printer heads, the most common are piezoelectric type and thermal dynamic type. The thermal dynamic inkjet printing head is mainly used for disinfectant and office applications, while the electric inkjet head is relatively high in the industrial field. With the continuous improvement of inkjet printing technology and the diversification of printing materials, electric inkjet printing head is no longer limited to high-end advertising printing in the industry, and is widely used in ceramics, electronics, 3D printing, textile printing and dyeing and other fields. The market demand is also expanding, and the development prospect of the industry is good.

China is in the industrial transformation and upgrading stage, textile printing and dyeing, ceramic architecture, advertising and other fields of technology innovation, as well as the rapid development of emerging 3D technology, promote the continuous growth of inkjet printer nozzle market demand. Driven by developing countries represented by China, the global market scale of inkjet printer nozzlers continues to expand. It is expected that the global market scale of inkjet printer nozzlers will reach 3.4 billion US dollars by 2024, with a compound annual growth rate of about 5% in recent four years.

The development of inkjet printing head has experienced hot gas bubble printing head, piezoelectric printing head, technology has also developed from traditional technology to MEMS technology, application field has also been from consumer printing to industrial printing. In terms of the global market, the current piezoelectric inkjet printing heads occupy a dominant position in the industrial field, and nearly 80% of the piezoelectric inkjet printing heads still use traditional technology, so the future development space of MEMS technology is relatively broad.

With the continuous change of technology, inkjet printing head can spray more and more materials, currently mainly pigment, titanium dioxide special ink, white ink, conductive metal ink, dielectric ink and other functional ink. The industrial market segments such as packaging applications, printed electronics, display and bioprinting grew faster, but the consumer and office printing markets showed a downward trend in demand.
