HP Revamps Inkjet Printheads
Posted by James Fee in "HARDWARE" @ 05:00 AM
" Hewlett-Packard is introducing new technology in inkjet printers that it hopes will help fend off rivals. The company said Monday it is using a new photolithographic process to create inkjet printheads as a single unit, instead of welding different components together. This manufacturing shift is designed to better align the chamber, nozzles and heating element and, in turn, to improve accuracy of ink drop placement. The new printheads can also support at least 3,900 nozzles. The higher nozzle density and greater accuracy in dot placement yield faster and better quality prints, HP said."
It has been a while since I have last had a HP inkjet. I still currently think Canon is head and shoulders better, but it looks like HP is ready to fight back. I can't wait to see the new printers they come up with the new printheads. Might just be time to replace the Canon i960 with a nice new printer.
