Future of Micro Piezo

The key to the success of Micro Piezo technology is its adaptability. By continuing to refine and enhance this technology, Epson will steadily roll out its technology into new markets and applications.

Thin Film Piezo

        TFP print head

As part of its development program, Epson has developed a thin-film piezo element that boasts the world's highest degree of distortion. The Epson Micro Piezo TFP head has been created using this thin-film piezo element.

Epson's aim is for everything that can be printed to be printed by Epson. The company will continue to refine its inkjet printing technology to achieve this dream.

What's different?

Whilst maintaining the advantages of the conventional Micro Piezo print head, Epson has managed to develop a nozzle with a density of 360 dpi - the world's highest for an inkjet print head using piezoelectronic technology. This has made possible higher speeds and more compact design - which, in turn, expand the scope of application for inkjet printing, especially in commercial and industrial fields.

What are the benefits?

• Faster and more compact printers
• Superb quality print output

Going forward, Epson will leverage this and other technologies as it seeks to create new value for customers whether they be at home, in the workplace or on the road.
