Digital print head technology is a precision business. Dimatix Spectra heads now enjoy a high level of quality and reliability. Even so, occasionally a nozzle will malfunction. Normally this could be a problem – you’d see a flaw in the print.

But Onset has a very clever software trick up its sleeve. Inca call it iNozzle omission adjustment system. An onboard scanner reads a test pattern. It locates any nozzles that aren’t perfect, and assigns a reserve
head to jet ink to make a perfect image.

Onset is equipped with 576 print heads jetting up to 3 billion drops per second. That’s more than enough to handle every print job, with plenty of spare capacity. It finds the head that’s not working perfectly and fills in any missing drops from another print head.
