GIS makes printhead management leap

Global Inkjet Systems (GIS) has released a head management board - HMB-FD-HV - that can drive up to four Fujifilm Dimatix Starfire SG600 or four Starfire SG1024 printheads. It can also be configured to drive large numbers of the Polaris, Sapphire, Emerald, Nova, Galaxy and S-Class printhead ranges.

The HMB-FD-HV is based on GIS’s Ethernet platform, which includes data management, waveform generation and printhead diagnostics, all accessed via Gigabit Ethernet. It supports the full binary and greyscale capabilities of the Fujifilm Dimatix printheads with multi-level waveforms, meniscus activation and jet straightening control. The HMB-FD-HV works in conjunction with the GIS Atlas customisable user interface and Atlas machine control services software (MCS) - a server technology for managing the printing and sub-system process from image to swathe conversion and integration of workflow through to print queues, transport and beyond.
