GIS announces new solution to drive FUJIFILM Dimatix printheads

Global Inkjet Systems (GIS), the leading strategic partner for OEMs and system builders, announces the introduction of its new advanced solution to drive a wide range of FUJIFILM Dimatix printheads, including the latest high-performance Starfire SG600. The new GIS Head Management Board (HMB-FD-HV) can drive up to 4 x FUJIFILM Dimatix Starfire SG600 or 4 x Starfire SG1024 off each board. In addition, the HMB-FD-HV can be configured to drive a large number of Polaris, Sapphire, Emerald, Nova, Galaxy and S-Class printhead ranges from a single board.

This new compact HMB is based on GIS’s Ethernet platform, which includes data management, waveform generation and printhead diagnostics, all accessed via Gigabit Ethernet with a robust protocol and standard Ethernet components. It supports the full binary and greyscale capabilities of the Fujifilm Dimatix printheads with multi-level waveforms, meniscus activation and jet straightening control.
