Drop Height Uv Printing

  Historically, UV printing required a very close proximity between the print head and the substrate. Deviations from this optimal distance could lead to blurred images, color inaccuracies, and other print defects.

  Modern UV printers, particularly those with advanced print heads like the Ricoh G5I, have overcome many of these limitations. These printers feature "high drop" capabilities, allowing for greater distances between the print head and the material.

  This is particularly important for printing on: 

    Irregularly shaped objects   

    Textured surfaces

    Objects with varying heights

  Maintaining the correct drop height ensures that ink droplets land precisely where they're intended, resulting in sharp, vibrant prints.

  High drop capabilities expand the range of materials that can be printed on, enabling UV printing on objects with complex geometries.   

  The ability to print at varying drop heights reduces the need for precise material positioning, streamlining the printing process.

  Different print heads have varying drop height capabilities. Some are designed for close-proximity printing, while others excel at high drop applications.

  UV printer software allows operators to adjust drop height settings to optimize print quality for specific materials and applications.

In summary, "drop height" in UV printing is a crucial parameter that affects print quality and material compatibility. Advancements in print head technology have enabled "high drop" printing, expanding the possibilities of UV printing.
