Enhancing the Performance of Large Format Printers with High-Quality Custom Cables
Key to Reliable Operation of Large Format Printers
BizLink's Custom High-Performance Flex Cables
The large-format printing industry is experiencing technological advancements that allow faster printing speeds, better print quality, and increased automation. Eco-friendly and sustainable materials are becoming more critical, and there is a demand for printers that can handle a broader range of materials.
Cables in the moving arm provide the necessary power and communication signals between the print head and the printer's main control board. These cables are typically subject to repeated motion and stress as the print head moves back and forth across the print area. As a result, the cables used in the moving arm must be flexible, durable, and able to withstand repeated bending and stretching without breaking or losing signal quality. Some common types of cables used in the moving arm of a large format printer include flexible flat cables (such as BizLink's High-Performance Flex solution) and hybrid cables with tubing. It is essential to use high-quality custom cables specifically designed for moving applications to ensure reliable and consistent performance.
