Abstract

The aim of this work was the development of an ink jet imaging unit for offset printing formes. A high-resolution (1200 dpi) ink jet print head based on the principle of continuous ink jet printing is presented. Using the outstanding properties of silicon bulk micromachining this microsystem was fabricated. It consists of a multinozzle print head, a charging electrode array and an array of ink shields to drain off the unused ink.
