Print head challenge
• The classic design = micro-machined parts and micro-assembly> Good performance> Relatively large > Expensive to produce > Limited printing resolution> Limited integration capabilities
• MEMS inkjet devices offer many benefits:> Smaller and lighter physical size> Higher precision and speed> Lower cost price
Main challenge: Development of efficient manufacturing process in the shortest possible time frame
