What is the process for Ink-jet Printing to direct mark parts?
Ink-jet printers precisely propel ink drops to the part surface, after which the fluid that makes up the ink dot evaporates, leaving a colored die on the surface of the part creating the pattern of modules that make up the mark. The application of ink-jet marking may require preparation of the part surface, as it is the chemical interaction of the ink to the surface of the part that determines the level of mark permanence and contrast. Ink-jet marking provides fast marking of moving parts, and offers very good contrast.
