• Ink-jet technology is either thermal (heat makes a bubble), piezo (pressure makes a bubble), or continuous (pressure makes a flow). Ink-jet printing can be sheetfed, roll-fed, flatbed or a combination. It can use inks that are aqueous (water-based), solvent (petro-chemical-based), eco-solvent and UV, using either dyes or pigments.
