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.
