A Complete Physical & Cost Analysis of the HP746 HDNA Inkjet Die from HP (2019) - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "HP746 HDNA Inkjet Die from HP" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report contains a complete physical and cost analysis of the HDNA thermal inkjet die from HP. A comparison between HP inkjet die with and without HDNA is included.

Today some inkjet manufacturers are moving toward piezoelectric MEMS. However, HP, the printing market leader, continues using thermal inkjet dies. HP's latest printhead generation uses High Definition Nozzle Architecture (HDNA). Offering 2400dpi resolution, this thermal inkjet die is the most advanced on the market. It can be used to print one or two colours with a dual-drop weight between 3-7pl. Available today in the new HP DesignJet Z9 and Latex printer, this technology could soon be integrated into other large format printers.

This reverse costing study provides insights into technological data, manufacturing cost, and selling price of the inkjet MEMS manufactured by both STMicroelectronics and HP. The inkjet die uses CMOS and DMOS transistors for the integrated driver and specially-designed layers for the new generation of high-density heaters. The ceramic and organic microfluidic elements have been enhanced to increase nozzle density. The analysis shows that the circuit has been developed to last with complex and expensive passivation.

The inkjet die has four rows of nozzles. It is assembled in the HP746 printhead with a flex to connect the die to the printer.
