It is extremely smooth to begin with.</p> <p>I only worry about the abrasive effects on the heads. The spit nozzles are super fine and any wear to them will show up very fast. Ceramic colors are usually very fine ground colored glass.</p> <hr /><a name="a5232_4"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5232.4">#4</a>]<br /> 31 Oct 2006<br /><b>To: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5232.3">#3</a>] 31 Oct 2006</p> Harvey,<br /> <br /> I don't know if micro piezo printheads would be used.<br /> <br /> Since it's not sublimation ink, it could be that printers with thermal printheads could be used.<br /> <br /> Still, as you say, the abrasive properties of the ink would most likely take their toll. <hr /><a name="a5232_5"></a><p><b>From: Geezer (ERNIE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5232.5">#5</a>]<br /> 31 Oct 2006<br /><b>To: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5232.3">#3</a>] 31 Oct 2006</p> <p>This might answer your questions</p> <p><a href="http://www.ceramicindustry.com/CDA/Articles/Feature_Article/ebb4f67934bfd010VgnVCM100000f932a8c0">http://www.ceramicindustry.com/CDA/Articles/Feature_Article/ebb4f67934bfd010VgnVCM100000f932a8c0</a></p> <p>Ernie</p> <p>Edited an oops in addy</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 31 Oct 2006 by ERNIE</p> <hr /><a name="a5232_6"></a><p><b>From: Geezer (ERNIE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5232.6">#6</a>]<br /> 31 Oct 2006<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5232.4">#4</a>] 31 Oct 2006</p> <p>David</p> <p>The test printer was "drop-on-demand"</p> <p>Ernie</p> <hr /><a name="a5232_7"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5232.7">#7</a>]<br /> 31 Oct 2006<br /><b>To: Geezer (ERNIE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5232.6">#6</a>] 31 Oct 2006</p> Interesting article Ernie.<br /> <br /> I'm not sure what drop-on-demand is, but in any case, since they're not talking about transfer technology, I assume a direct-to-substrate printer is used. <hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5232.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=5232.1">1-2</a>  3-7</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2025 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
