Meteor Inkjet, a leading supplier of industrial inkjet printhead driving solutions, today announced the availability of dedicated drive electronics for the new FUJIFILM Dimatix STARFIRE® PhaseMaster printhead.  

Clive Ayling, Meteor Inkjet’s managing director, comments: “The launch of the STARFIRE® PhaseMaster represents an exciting development for the industrial inkjet market by taking the STARFIRE® up to the 125°C of the Galaxy hot-melt head.

Users of hot-melt inks now have a high-resolution, repairable printhead option with four times as many nozzles per head.   “Hot-melt jetting has the potential to become a key enabling technology, particularly in additive manufacturing, where precise and repeatable deposition of functional materials is critical. Many functional fluids only achieve the physical properties necessary for inkjet drop formation at high temperature, instantly cooling and reverting to their original state when the drop lands.”  

Meteor’s dedicated solution provides full compatibility with the Meteor Datapath and Meteor’s family of printhead drivers, together with advanced waveform tools including drop-watching and open waveform design capability. High-speed data delivery enables the STARFIRE® PhaseMaster to operate at its full rated speed, while integration with Meteor Datapath software and support from Meteor’s worldwide applications team help system developers accelerate integration and development.
