The inkjet printing process is a contactless printing technology in which tiny ink droplets are shot onto a substrate in a targeted manner. In contrast to traditional graphic printing applications, this technology is increasingly being used in functional manufacturing, for example in electronics, photovoltaics or biotechnology. It enables the production of complex structures with high precision without the need for physical masks or stencils. This significantly reduces material consumption and product changes can be realised quickly and flexibly. This makes the inkjet process particularly interesting for research, prototyping and the production of small to medium-sized series.

The LP50 inkjet printer from SUSS with PiXDRO technology was specially designed for research and development tasks in the field of functional printing and combines high precision with an open, modular architecture. It is a compact system in desktop format that is easy to operate and versatile.

Its potential applications range from semiconductor assembly, the production of printed circuit boards and printed electronics to photovoltaics, display technology and biomedical applications.

Technologically, the printer is characterised by a high-precision positioning system that allows the finest structures to be created with a resolution of up to twenty micrometres. As no masks or templates are required, production processes can be organised more efficiently and with fewer resources. The open system architecture also allows the device to be flexibly adapted to different printing requirements and materials. Specific functions and printing processes can be integrated on a user-defined basis, making the LP50 an ideal platform for experimental and application-specific developments.

The device also offers numerous options in terms of process control: An integrated cooling system ensures temperature stabilisation of the substrate, while heatable ink tanks guarantee constant conditions during printing. The substrate holder can be customised so that different material formats can be processed. The printer can also be configured with two print heads, allowing for more complex printing processes.

The LP50 features an advanced Gerber file rasteriser for the implementation of technical layout data. This allows layouts from PCB technology, for example, to be converted precisely into print data.
