What are Piezo Inkjet Printers?
These are a type of inkjet printer that uses piezoelectric crystals to control the release of ink onto a substrate. The crystals are deformed by an electric current, which causes them to expand and contract. This expansion and contraction create a pressure wave that forces ink out of the printhead.

What are Piezo Inkjet Printers and How Do They Work?
These printers are a type of inkjet printer that uses piezoelectric crystals to control the release of ink onto a substrate. The crystals are deformed by an electric current, which causes them to expand and contract. This expansion and contraction create a pressure wave that forces ink out of the printhead.
These printers offer several advantages over other types of inkjet printers, including:
- High-resolution printing: These printers can produce high-resolution prints with sharp details and smooth gradients.
- Precise ink control: They also can control the shape and size of ink droplets, which allows for more precise printing.
- Faster printing: And also can print faster than other types of inkjet printers.
- Durability: They also are more durable than other types of inkjet printers.
- Wide range of inks: Piezo inkjet printers can use a wide range of inks, including water-based inks, pigment inks, and dye inks.
Overall, piezo inkjet printers offer a number of advantages over other types of inkjet printers. They are ideal for users who need high-resolution printing, precise ink control, and fast printing speeds.
Here are some additional things to consider when choosing a printer:
- Resolution: The resolution of a piezo inkjet printer is measured in dots per inch (DPI). Higher DPI printers can produce sharper prints.
- Ink type: Piezo inkjet printers can use a variety of ink types, including water-based inks, pigment inks, and dye inks. Water-based ink are the most common type of ink used in piezo inkjet printers. Pigment inks are more durable than water-based inks, but they can also be more expensive. Dye inks are less expensive than pigment inks, but they are not as durable.
- Print speed: Piezo inkjet printers can print at a variety of speeds. Faster printers can produce more prints per minute.
- Features: Some piezo inkjet printers offer additional features, such as automatic two-sided printing and borderless printing.
Here are some of the best piezo inkjet printers High-Mark Systems offer:
- Squid Ink CoPilot Max Turbo
- Squid Ink CoPilot 512i
- Squid Ink Gemini
