Abstract

The work aims to design a kind of printing rules to improve the inkjet printing accuracy when the inkjet technology is used for advanced manufacturing as an efficient production tool. Through ink droplet observation system, the effect of inkjet ignition frequency on the injection state was analyzed. By analyzing the influence of crosstalk on the part between nozzles, the continuous high-frequency injection parameters were obtained. Meanwhile, the high-precision printing platforms were used to test different modes. Characterization methods included traditional image quality analysis method and conductivity comparison on conductive grid obtained through inkjet manufacturing. With the printing rules put forward, the inkjet ignition frequency was up to 78 kHz, the dot area coverage error of printing paper samples was less than 1% and the vertical line roughness variance was approximately equal to 3 μm2. The macroscopic and microscopic visual effects were improved. The uniform line of printed flexible touch screen grid line was about 65 μm wide with good electrical conductivity. The optimized printing rules can weaken the influence of the residual vibration and crosstalk on other nozzles. The printing accuracy and ignition frequency are enhanced while improving the printing efficiency, which effectively promotes the application of electric nozzle in the inkjet manufacturing field.
