Thermal Inkjet Printing Technology (TIJ) Introduction
There are two main types of current inkjet printing technologies: thermal inkjet technology and micro-piezoelectric technology. Most manufacturers use thermal inkjet technology, and a small number use micro-piezoelectric technology.
Thermal ink-jet printing technology was discovered by HP technicians in the 1970s, and the first Thermal Inkjet Printer was invented in the laboratory in 1979. This technology has been adopted by HP, and HP technicians are constantly developing new technologies based on thermal inkjet printing technology. For example, color tiering technology and JetExpress technology are applied to HP products to continue to maintain Hewlett-Packard's leadership in the industry.
Thermal inkjet printing technology rapidly heats the ink through the cathode. When the ink film is heated to about 340°C, a vapor bubble is formed and the ink is accurately ejected onto the paper.

Print Mode Technology Assures Design Flexibility Because thermal ink jet printing technology has small droplets and high density, piezoelectric technology has a low density, the use of thermal inkjet technology to print images that can be completed once and the use of micro piezoelectric technology requires four All over, a lot of time is wasted.
