Ink-jet: A Disruptive Technology
Ink-jet printing may play a major part in your in-plant's future. Here's an excerpt from a new book on the topic by an industry observer.
Hoover claims Xerox has a better solution, which it has been using for many years—namely, its solid-ink technology. Once heated, these inks are readily jetted onto the media, rapidly cooling to adhere to the substrate and providing good quality results. Hoover added that for commercial and industrial applications, Xerox has taken its solid ink technology to the next stage of its development by turning the ink into a gel.
