PRINT STATION FUNCTION

A print station houses the electronics and software that manage the pumps, valves, and filters that control the flow of ink, replenisher,
and cleaning fluids for the continuous inkjet printheads. It also controls various physical properties of fluids—including temperature,
pressure, and ink concentration.

PRINT STATION PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS

Height: 102.5 cm (40.4 in)
Width: 58.5 cm (23 in)
Power: 200-240 VAC 50/60 Hz 10 amps (S30 = 30 amps)
Depth: 65.5 cm (25.8 in)
Weight: 125 kg (275 lbs)

PRINTHEAD INTERFACE CONTROLLER FUNCTION

Each print station supports one or two Printhead Interface Controllers (PICs). A PIC box contains the electronics, software,
and fluid connections for driving a single inkjet printhead

PRINTHEADS

– Printheads are replaceable components that connect to PICs through a simple slide-on mechanism.
– Data can be split electronically between up to four print heads using the same controller.

ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATING RANGES

For environments with 10% relative humidity non-condensing, temperature range is 16°C - 40°C (60.8°F - 104°F)
For environments with 60% relative humidity non-condensing, temperature range is 16°C - 40°C (60.8°F - 104°F)
For environments with 90% relative humidity non-condensing, temperature range is 16°C - 30°C (60.8°F - 86°F)

DRYING

Recommended drying setup: ADPHOS NIR inkjet drying systems or other equivalent for most applications.
UTECO drying systems or other equivalent for flexographic film-based applications.

* PROSPER Plus 1W and 2W models utilize a dual bucket mounting apparatus to mechanically stitch two printheads for a width of 210 mm (8.26 in). The Kodak Dual Stitch Mount Customer Expectation Document outlines factors that affect stitch quality.
