4. Principy fungování
damper acts as a buffer between the ink supply system (ink cartridges/bottles and tubes) and the printhead. It maintains a consistent, slightly negative pressure at the printhead, which is essential for precise ink droplet ejection. The internal filter within the damper traps microscopic particles and air bubbles, preventing them from reaching and potentially clogging the delicate nozzles of the printhead. This continuous filtration and pressure regulation ensure stable and high-quality printing.
