What are dampers?

Dampers are components that are used to control the flow of ink or other fluids within the printer. Dampers are typically used to regulate the flow of ink from the ink tanks or cartridges to the print head, and can be used to control the pressure, flow rate, and direction of the ink.

Dampers are typically made of a flexible material, such as rubber or silicone, and are designed to be opened or closed in response to various stimuli, such as pressure or temperature changes. In large format printers, dampers are typically controlled using a variety of methods, including pulse width modulation (PWM), analog voltage inputs, or digital control signals.
