Inkjet textile printing and IC marking devices are examples of the latest advances in industrial inkjet applications. The use of the inkjet textile printing technology is spreading in the Italian high-quality cloth market because of its ability to cater to on-demand printing requirements while providing excellent quality. For example, Monnalisa, which has specific colored inks and requires an integrated, densely-packed print head, has successfully achieved high-grade print quality even for high production rates. It will produce the expected result in markets in other nations provided users take interest in the promotion of digitalization for small-lot production. Inkjet IC marking devices have the advantage of being able to produce damage-free ICs, while printing images having good visibility and providing the on-demand printability feature. For example, IP2000 is printed on with visible white ink that is used in combination with UV and heat cure systems. This technology will evolve suitably to enable its use with small IC chips or thinned array packages in the near future. Inkjet technology is said to have a wide range of existing and potential applications in the industrial sector. As inkjet technology progresses, it appears that further progress in this technology requires simultaneous advances in the peripheral technology that enhances the overall inkjet printing system.
