Section 1 Introduction
1.1 Working principle of continuous ink jet printer (CIJ)

Please refer to the working principle drawing (Fig. 1-1) for continuous inkjet (CIJ) printer.
Fig.1-1 working principle drawing of CIJ
Pressurized ink flows into the ink chamber and comes out from the nozzle as tiny ink drops, which
forms an ink stream. The ink stream is recycled into the ink system through the gutter. The ink
stream consists of tiny ink droplets. This is due to the vibration of the resonator inside the ink
chamber. The ink drops are charged by the charge electrode. The amount of charging to each
drop is controlled by the CPU. The charging detector then monitor each drop charges and
provides feedback to the CPU. The charged ink drops then get deflected in an electric field
generated by the high voltage electrodes. The distance of deflection is decided by two factors, i.e.
the quantity of electric charge and the intensity of the high voltage electric field. In general, the
high voltage electric field is comparatively stable, while the quantum of electric charges varies all
the time. Therefore, the ink drops charged with different electric quantum create a column of ink
drops along the X-axis after passing through the high voltage electric field. While the object
moves along the direction of Y-axis, the ink drops are deflected onto the surface of the object to
form characters, numbers and logos.

Make sure the opening and closing of print head is easily conducted.
 It’s better to mount the print head same level horizontally to the bottom of keyboard. The
lowest must be less than one meter.
 The distance between print head and printing object is in range of 2mm~25mm. Different
size of nozzle makes difference in the distance.
 Lay the umbilical hose between the print head and cabinet such that it is in no case
subjected to vibrations or other mechanical disturbances. The umbilical’s bending radius of 250
mm may not be fallen below.
 If the installation site is a place where a high amount of dust or splash water cannot be
prevented, the operational reliability can be improved by using the splash guard which is
available as an accessory part.
 Electrostatic charges between the printed object and the print head adversely affect both
the print image and the operational reliability of the inkjet, caused by ink deposits rejected
to the print head.

8.2.2 Ink and solvent adding
 MUST be at least 40% full of ink bottle and solvent bottle, otherwise not sufficient
fluids in the bottles would lead to no stable ink stream recycling or poor recycling.
 Make sure the correct ink type and solvent type adopted.
 MUST use original fluids provided by Rottweil®. We will not bear any responsibilities or
obligations for the damage on the machine due to the use of unauthorized fluids or consumables.
 If no running of inkjet in next 2 to 3 days, please turn on the inkjet and get the ink stream on
for 1 hour everyday. No need to print.
V 20-2-4 / Mar 22 101

8.2.3 Print head maintenance
Fig. 8-7 Print head and ink chamber
 Print head is a component very sensitive to dirt and contamination; therefore it

must be checked and cleaned periodically.
 When the print head is on top of a cleaning container full of solvent, the print
head cover must be kept open. If it is closed, the high voltage will be activated, which will
increase the risk of igniting the vapouring solvent.
 If ink or solvent enters the print head inside, components such as electronic-amplifier board
and resonator will be damaged. It is prohibited to soak the print head into solvent. The print head
components inside the cover shall be cleaned properly according to procedure. Print head must
always be fixed in a vertical position while cleaning.
 The ink splashed back onto the print-head from the surface of objects during the printing
process shall be cleaned off regularly, usually once a week. Try to use paper soaked with solvent
for this job. Do not soak print-head with solvent. The print head cover shall remain open when
cleaning the print head and the ink stream shall be cut off.
 When cleaning print head parts, use sealing cap to seal the gutter to avoid sudden decrease
of viscosity due to sucking of cleaning solvent from gutter.

9.2 Daily running cost calculation
Calculation condition:
1. 55 μm nozzle;
2. The calculation is only for your reference and the results may be changed along with the
circumstance.
3. Rottweil® reserves the right on further explanation.
4. Print example: 7x5 matrix, “EXP 11 10 2010”, total 11 characters in this text.
5. Below table shows the factors, some are fixed; some are variable in different inkjet
manufacturer/brands, while others depend on applications in end user line. The price for ink and
solvent is just for example.
Calculation factors:
ITEM CONTENT EXAMPLE
A Number of ink drops 2,000,000,000 dots/liter Fixed
B Solvent operational time *150 hours/liter Variable in brands
C Number of print 150 text/minute Variable in brands
D Working day 26 days/month Depends on user
E 1 shift 8 hours/shift Depends on user
F Number of shift 3 shifts/day Depends on user
G Wash up operational, with solvent 50 times/liter Fixed
H Number of wash up 4 times/month Fixed
P1 Ink price USD /liter Variable in brands
P2 Solvent price USD /liter Variable in brands
L Average dots for one character 40% x (7x5 matrix) Depends on matrix
M Number of character 11/text Depends on user
Calculation formula:
Ink cost per day = C x L x M x 60 x E x F x P1 / A
Solvent cost per day = (E x F / B) x P2 + [H / (D x G)] x P2
Solvent consumption:
W ith solvent recovery system/condenser: 150 hours/liter
W ithout solvent recovery system/condenser: 80 hours/liter
The figure here is calculated in general condition and maybe differed from various regions, only for
reference. Test environment is under 20 Cent-degree as normal condition. The value may change in
various temperature and humidity.
