KNF has supplied the drop-on-demand inkjet printing market with optimized liquid and gas/vacuum pumps since its infancy. Overtime, the market has developed, and we’ve accumulated an in-depth knowledge of these printing systems by working directly with designers to develop pumps best suited for several critical functions. We’re proud to have contributed to the market’s successful evolution, which now includes commercial printers and decorators, 3D printers, bio-material dispensing, single-pass printing, ceramics, and printed electronics.

Typical functions that our pumps perform in drop-on-demand inkjet applications include:

• Bulk ink supply/replenish
• Ink degassing
• System vacuum
• Cleaning station
• Ink recirculation
• Print head temperature control
• Liquid laminate delivery
• Media pre-treatment
• Anti-siphon at head

Whether your application calls for tolerance to special inks, high temperature pump heads, special electrical or mounting connections, or other unique requirements, count on KNF engineers to build a pump to fit your specific inkjet printer needs. We’re here to help you cut costs, and to integrate our pumps into your printer control systems.
