The manufacturer’s UV inkjet filters “maximise printer up-time”.
The filters, which have been “designed specifically for the superwide graphics market”, are said by the company to have incorporated “all the filters required along the ink path” of wide-format machines, with filters manufactured utilising carbon black “as a preventative barrier to UV light”, which “minimises the risk of premature curing of UV inks”.
It notes that selecting correct filters “will ensure your printer has maximum up-time inbetween services, and ink flow is not restricted”, with materials used in constructing the filters including inert substances such as polypropylene, nylon, polyethylene, stainless steel mesh and metal fibre, with “minimal extractables” so UV ink “will not be contaminated”.
The compact size allows for “fitting in the smallest of printer housing”, with a wide range of connectors, and the filters “exhibit superior flow characteristics and ensure consistent reliable printing performance with maximised printhead protection”. Filtration ratings start at sub 1µm for “the most refined liquids” and increase to 100µm, with “pleated polymeric membranes” designed as the “principal barrier to any foreign bodies or aggregates”.
Inprinta added that a second level of protection through BioVyon, a “solid-state separation material”, allows the filters to “run effectively with all UV inkjet fluids”, and barriers are constructed from “high grade materials before being wielded into the UV filter housing to give a fully integrated filter assembly”.
