In valve jet printing, a series of inline jets are controlled by valves. These open and shut independently to produce streams of intermittent ink droplets. As the product passes the printhead, these droplets create characters and/or graphics based on grid information.
After each printing run, the printheads are washed by strong solvents or special chemicals to remove all inkjet materials from the printhead. With such aggressive media in the process, Kalrez® is an obvious material choice.
