Trident, An ITW Company is a leading global provider of industrial piezoelectric ink jet printheads and inks and has been in business for more than 30 years. The durable, stainless steel construction of Trident printheads makes them ideal for a wide range of industrial applications including photovoltaic, printable electronic, and case coding. Trident has expert knowledge in how to design inkjet printheads and optimize ink jettable materials and fluids in order to maximize performance and reliability.
Trident's latest achievement is the launch of a new division, Trident Solar™, dedicated exclusively to the design and production of durable, efficient inkjet technologies for photovoltaic applications. Trident Solar’s first new product is the versatile, inert “256Jet-S”™ inkjet printhead. Available worldwide, the 256Jet-S features a 256-nozzle printhead with durable, serviceable design and rugged stainless steel construction which allows for non-contact printing of a wide variety of acid and alkaline etchants and conductive metals for direct write, printable solar photovoltaic production applications. The 256Jet-S printhead lasts up to 8 times longer than alternative inkjet printheads. Use of the 256Jet-S printhead can be up to five times less expensive than lithographic screen printing, while simultaneously providing up to three times higher print resolution.
“What is unique about Trident Solar and the 256Jet-S printhead is that unlike many inkjet companies, Trident is not simply adapting a graphic inkjet printhead to photovoltaic applications,” explained Steve Liker, Business Manager at Trident. “Trident Solar designed the 256Jet-S inkjet specifically for jetting the challenging, aggressive materials that are used in photovoltaic applications. This strategic focus provides users with significant cost and efficiency savings when compared to other printing techniques as well as to alternative inkjet technologies.” Learn More
