Digital Inkjet printing is the fastest growing technology in the printing world today. That should be no surprise given the advantages inkjet printing offers compared to conventional digital print systems including ease of use, short turnaround time, on-demand printing, vibrant colors, and high-resolution photographic output quality. Inkjet printers work by primary ink passing through the print head, dispersing ink droplets via micro-sized nozzles on to inkjet receptive material. This material is unique thanks to top-coating, another significant element specific to inkjet. The surface of inkjet...
