The Effects of Static Electricity on Digitally Printed Plastic Materials

The Effects of Static Electricity on Digitally Printed Plastic Materials, 3A Composites_USA Graphic Display ExpertsWhen an ink droplet leaves the print head of a digital printer, it acquires a positive electrical charge, which allows it to be directed precisely to the point where it needs to be in order to achieve the desired image. If the material that is being printed has residual static charges on its surface, it may lead to detrimental effects on the finished print. This is due to the simple fact that materials with opposite charges tend to attract each other. (more…)
