1. Aerosol Printing Made Easy
The Nanojet™ (NJ) desktop printer is a low cost, aerosol-based printer that
integrates IDS’ highly reliable NJ printing technology into a fully functional
desktop printer. The desktop printer is the first affordable aerosol-based print
platform available for research and low volume printed electronic production
applications. The NJ technology provides next generation aerosol printing with im-
proved print performance in a robust, reliable and user-friendly configuration able
to operate consistently for production quality printing.
