Epson PrecisionCore - the future of printing is around the corner
Not so long ago, we received from our engineers the news that devices using an innovative printing chip, which will form the basis of the new generation printing technology, Epson PrecisionCore, are ready for serial production.
Epic video is attached:
The full name of the technology is PrecisionCore Micro TFP (Thin film) and, as Epson engineers suggest, it should expand the capabilities of the Epson MicroPiezo TFP printhead, which was previously installed only in wide format printers. However, on the basis of large-scale research and laboratory tests, it was decided to introduce an Epson PrecisionCore Micro TFP chip into all printing lines of the company - from industrial wide format to office "inkjet".

The PrecisionCore Micro TFP Chip is a piezoelectric element no more than 1 mm thick, a system of chambers and channels through which ink flows, as well as a printhead plate that pushes ink droplets onto the printed material.
Due to this, the printhead plate has 800 nozzles (two rows of 400 nozzles each), each of which is about 20 microns in diameter and capable of letting in droplets of up to 1.5 picoliter (1.5 trillion liters)!
Briefly about how the printing process. When exposed to an electric pulse, the piezoelectric element oscillates, contributing to the ejection of ink from the nozzles of the printing head.
Epson PrecisionCore Micro TFP piezoelectric cells can be reduced up to 50,000 times per second at a frequency of 50 kHz . In practice, this means that each of the nozzles can miss up to 50,000 drops of ink per second - this ensures absolutely accurate positioning of the drop!
Thus, printers with innovative printing chips provide not only unsurpassed image quality, but also feature previously unavailable print speeds and high performance. Epson PrecisionCore is so "not capricious" that it can be used in any inkjet printers with various types of ink. In addition, you can print on almost any carrier, be it paper, film, cloth, glass, metal or plastic. That is why it was decided to replace it with the existing technology Epson MicroPiezo .
As an example of severe printing conditions in which PrecisionCore shows itself in all its glory - printing with UV ink. It is very difficult to provide high-quality and uninterrupted printing with such ink, however, thanks to a new technology, this has become possible.
Now Epson PrecisionCore technology is being run-in - it is implemented in Epson SurePress L-6034 digital printing presses, which will soon enter the market. And in the near future, owners of Epson inkjet printers and multifunction printers, including the Epson Printing Factory series, will be able to independently evaluate all the advantages of the new printing technology.
Dear Habravchane,
Due to the fact that Habrahabr.ru was divided into three resources (HabraHabr, GeekTimes and MegaMozg), Epson's blog moved to Geektimes.ru .
Looking forward to seeing you on our GT blog!
