more printing system upgrades


Technological innovation and system upgrades have always been at the core of artisJet's way of meeting and exceeding customer expectations, Whatever matters most to customers, whether it's making things more efficient, cost-effective, durable, or easier to use, matters the most to us.

After gathering and analyzing extensive feedback and suggestions from our customers for the past months and years, we have identified two key areas that our customers are particularly interested in and care about:

1. The durability of the ink system;

2. The user experience of the software.

And we have dedicated a tremendous amount of resources to the research and development of these and other areas that matter greatly to customers and end-users, seeking improvements that will ultimately help propel our customers to success.



Part 1 – The New Dual-Pump System

More precise, more consistent, more durable, cleaner, and less maintenance

Replacing the single pump system powered by direct current motors, we have invested in a new dual-pump system that enjoys significantly higher durability, precision, consistency, cleanliness, and less maintenance.



Pump #1

ink system intelligent pump

Intelligent Pump

The mechanism for pumping ink to the printhead has been completely revamped.

The New Mechanism

Replacing the suction pump, which operates by drawing air out from one end of the tube, the new intelligent pump delivers ink from cartridges to the printhead by externally squeezing the ink tube in tiny and precise increments. A new electronic driver has also been installed (shown above) to facilitate the meticulous motion.

High Consistency

The squeezing mechanism is programmed to produce a steady and precise flow of ink throughout the system at all times, rather than the fluctuating pulses generated by the suction pump. Instead of sucking in a minuscule amount of air along with the ink like the suction pump, the new pump ensures a closed loop of ink, thus precluding any air bubble in the ink tube.

High Precision/Reliability

This high consistency also paves the way for higher degrees of precision and reliability. Cleaning and maintenance results can be relied upon without multiple tries to ascertain the accuracy of any single process. In other words, the pump can be eliminated as a potential factor in causing any inaccuracy.



High Durability/Less Maintenance

Owing to the nature of its mechanism, the old pump was unavoidably exposed to the ink, which has the potential to cause issues for the pump and the electric system. The new intelligent pump, by contrast, bears no direct contact with ink as they are always separated by the tube, thereby eliminating any adverse effect ink has on the pump system. The new Intelligent Pump was thus designed for permanent service.



Pump #2

Dedicated Cleaning Pump

Keeping It Clean

Responding to the user feedback that the ink waste bin might spill during moving or transport, another pump has been put into place to drain the ink waste bin. This will keep both the interior and exterior of the printers neat and tidy, making it easier to maintain its clean condition.



Part 2 – Improvements in Software

Intelligent Carriage (beta)

More time-saving

If only a small area within a large surface needs to be printed, the printhead can be directed to cover only this small area, saving a lot of time by not going all the way to the border.

UV Lamp Intelligent Power Saving

UV Lamp Intelligent Power Saving

Less maintenance

UV lamp can be programmed to be turned on over the printed area and automatically turned off where the ink doesn't apply. Besides saving energy and prolonging the life of UV lights, it minimizes the potential printhead issues resulting from unnecessary light reflection.



API (hot folder)

Less hassle

By using a hot folder to generate print tasks, the desired settings can be programmed for each hot folder. As long as you know the required specification for the final print, all the files brought in this folder, regardless of their own sizes and resolutions, will be printed to this exact specification.Hot folders now support PNG as well.

USB Dongle

More user-friendly

If the USB dongle is not connected or accidentally removed, a pop-up window would appear suggesting the dongle is not detected. And the RIP software will automatically start when a USB dongle is detected.



Part 3 – Other Upgrades

New Ink Tube

More durable, more corrosion-resistant

A key portion of the ink tube, which has been occasionally reported to become less durable after extended usage, is replaced by a premium one produced by Saint-Gobain, which enjoys the highest industry standard in terms of corrosion resistance. It's thus also designed for permanent service.p>

New Industrial Tracks for 3000U Pro

More precise, less maintenance

The new kinetic system of the artis 3000U pro flatbed platform is equipped with the industrial tracks that are already seen on other artisJet models, taking the place of the wheels system. The motions of the platform are now more measured and precise, while the mechanical elements require less maintenance and have a longer life span.



Conclusion

These are among the major upgrades that artisJet has introduced in the newer versions. We have also implemented a myriad of minor tweaks and adjustments throughout the mechanical and electronic systems to fine-tune the performance and enhance the user experience. We believe that these upgrades will help boost printing production efficiency and ease of use, while improving the bottom lines for our clients. We'll continue to listen to user feedback and discover what matters most to our customers.
