Filters for inkjet applications

Filters are used in large format printers to remove contaminants and impurities from the printing fluid (ink or toner). Filters can be located at various points in the printing system, including in the ink supply lines, in the ink or toner reservoirs, and in the print heads themselves. Filters are used to ensure that the printing fluid is free of debris, which can clog the print head and affect the quality of the prints.

There are several types of filters that can be used in large format printers, including:

Pre-filters

Pre-filters are used to remove large particles from the printing fluid before it enters the printer. These filters are typically located in the ink supply lines and are used to protect the printhead from damage.

In-line filters

In-line filters are used to remove contaminants from the printing fluid as it flows through the ink supply lines. These filters are typically located near the print head and are used to protect the print head from clogging.

In-tank filters

In-tank filters are used to remove contaminants from the printing fluid as it is stored in the ink or toner reservoirs. These filters are used to ensure that the printing fluid is free of debris and ready for use.

Print head filters

Print head filters are used to remove contaminants from the printing fluid as it passes through the print head. These filters are used to protect the print head from clogging and to maintain the quality of the prints.
