Patent number: 11039541Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods, kits and compositions for direct printing of double-sided and/or multilayered printed circuit boards. Specifically, the disclosure relates to the printing of conductive leads and insulating portions of printed circuit boards using inkjet printing.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2015Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: Nano Dimension Technologies, LTD.Inventors: Sharon Fima, Hila Elimelech

Patent number: 10864737Abstract: Inkjet head cleaning and storage includes cleaning an orifice plate by inserting a tip of a shaped wiper into a slit of a printing mask, such that one or more shoulders of a handling end of the shaped wiper are in contact with respectively one or more edges of the slit. The shoulders of the shaped wiper facilitate the tip applying a predetermined pressure to an orifice surface during wiping. Preventing sediment buildup during extended periods of non-printing includes placing at least the orifice plate of the printing head in a protecting liquid that avoids evaporation of the volatile liquid from the nozzles. An innovative “night plate” can be used to seal the slit of a printing mask and ink purged from the printing head used to fill a gap between the printing head and the mask, thereby covering at least the orifice plate with purged ink.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2020Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: XJET LTD.Inventors: Eli Kritchman, Hanan Gothait, Timofey Shmal, Sharon Fima

Patent number: 10611155Abstract: Printing systems are disclosed for preventing sediment buildup. In one implementation, a printing system is provided. The printing system includes a print area and a print head housing configured to enclose a print head spaced from the print area. The print head has a plurality of nozzles for expelling a printing liquid therefrom. The printing system further includes a pipe for interconnecting the print head with a reservoir, a pump for circulating the printing liquid from the reservoir to the print head and through the plurality of nozzles, and a processor. The processor may cause the pump to circulate the printing liquid to the print head and through the plurality of nozzles during a period of non-printing. In one embodiment, circulating the printing liquid includes flowing the printing liquid from the reservoir to the print head and from a retainer located below the plurality of nozzles back to the reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2015Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: XJET LTD.Inventors: Eli Kritchman, Hanan Gothait, Timofey Shmal, Sharon Fima
