Abstract
Inkjet printing has a huge potential in direct decoration
of three dimensional consumer and industrial goods due to
its nonimpact
character. As a digital method, inkjet provides several
benefits compared to analog printing: Personalized and
customized products, on demand production and production
optimization due to integration into production line, to
mention
some. On the other hand, there are also several
challenges to overcome, e.g. how to integrate inkjet
print heads to transfer
system properly, how to handle and monitor complex shaped
products and how to ensure substrate-ink compatibility
and
controlled interactions between them. In addition,
applicability and reliability of inkjet technology itself
in various challenging
conditions needs careful consideration and examination.
In this paper we consider different benefits and
challenges related to
direct decoration using inkjet technology. Based on
empirical studies, we present some results which
demonstrate applicability of inkjet technology in direct
digital decoration
