FUJIFILM introduces the FUJIFILM Dimatix SKYFIRE  SF600 printhead at drupa 2024

Fujifilm has launched its new FUJIFILM Dimatix SKYFIRE SF600 inkjet printhead at drupa. The SKYFIRE SF600 inkjet printhead leverages the company’s proprietary piezoelectric inkjet technology based on silicon Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (Si-MEMS) fabrication techniques.

“Our customers require printheads that can withstand a wide variety of inks and print at high speeds while offering high quality and durability. The unique design features of the FUJIFILM Dimatix SKYFIRE SF600 underscore the company’s continued commitment to innovation and provide reliable, high-quality sustained printing to enhance productivity in a wide range of demanding applications,” said Steve Billow, President & Chief Executive Officer, FUJIFILM Dimatix, “we’re looking forward to meeting with industry leaders at drupa to showcase our competitive line of inkjet printheads.”

The FUJIFILM Dimatix SKYFIRE SF600 printhead delivers 600DPI resolution with a drop size range of 5-25pL and a nozzle layout that enables high throw distance to meet a broad range of applications. To ensure consistent output, the FUJIFILM Dimatix SKYFIRE SF600 is equipped with an integrated trimming heater, temperature sensor, and REDIJET coating for optimal use of aqueous and UV inks. Rounding up these features is top and tail alignment for compact integration and improved printhead-to-printhead accuracy.

The FUJIFILM Dimatix SKYFIRE SF600 printhead incorporates a high-speed jet design with REDIJET elements, including noise-dampening technology and dual recirculation for reliable high-speed jetting. The printhead can jet 11 grams of ink per square meter per colour at over 130 meters per minute with four grayscale levels. OEMs benefit from versadrop open waveform editing capability. This capability has enabled developers to tune printhead performance to their specific application for decades.

The FUJIFILM Dimatix SKYFIRE SF600 printhead takes advantage of the company’s proprietary sputtered PZT-rated for trillions of actuations. It is designed with REDIJET coatings, enabling it to reliably jet a range of aqueous solvent, oil and UV curable types common in large single-pass and scanning printing systems.
