Consumables
2 Consumables and the application
The customer is solely responsible for qualifying the intended application. To help existing and
prospective customers qualify their applications (including the ink, ink jet equipment, nature of
surfaces, manufacturing process, printing specifications, etc.), Imaje makes a wide range of
printers and inks available for producing print samples.
3 Consumables and the printer
3.1 Ink usage specification
This document is essential, and can be obtained from our sales offices.
The sheet informs the user about the operating parameters (viscosity, jet speed, etc.) and specific
printing characteristics (printing speed, head to object distance, etc.) depending on the printer
configuration (nozzle size, number of nozzles, etc.) and the chosen ink.
3.2 Consumption
The ink consumption over a given period depends on the number of characters printed per object,
the number of objects printed during this period, the font (matrix, bolderization) and the nozzle
diameter.
Additive consumption depends primarily on the number of hours of operation and the ambient
temperature.
