LumeJet - a new Photonic ‘Inkless’ Printing Technology

The result of 10 years of research, LumeJet is bringing to market a new photonic ‘inkless’ technology for ultra high quality printing and patterning applications. Similar to Ink Jet – but without the inks – LumeJet comprises custom designed print heads (moving or static) with multi-LED arrays and special fiber taper optics. Using light, rather than ink, increases throughput and image quality, whilst reducing media costs. LumeJet is a continuous tone process that can resolve down to 1pt colored text and graphics, which would require at least 8-colours and over 4000dpi with inkjet and toner systems. Applications for LumeJet technology have also been identified in label and package printing and printed electronics.
