Desktop Inkjet Printing for Functional Thin-Film Development

IPMaster-R is a desktop inkjet printing platform designed for research and process development involving functional materials. It provides a controlled environment for studying ink behavior, droplet deposition and printed-film formation before processes are transferred toward larger-scale manufacturing.

Application Areas : Perovskite photovoltaics, Semiconductor materials, Display technologies, Printed electronics, Functional coatings, Advanced materials

Example Materials : The platform can be configured for research involving materials such as: Perovskite inks, NiOx, SAMs, SnO₂, Al₂O₃, PEAI, Other functional inks

Process Development : Inkjet printing provides researchers with control over material deposition at the droplet level. This can be useful for studying: Droplet formation, Printing parameters, Pattern design, Material deposition, Film formation, Process repeatability

Integrated Tools : The platform includes ink-management and Drop-Watcher functions for monitoring the printing process.

From Laboratory to Scale-Up : Ink Formulation → Droplet Characterization → Printing Parameters → Pattern Formation → Film Characterization → Process Optimization

Typical Users : University Laboratories · PV R&D Teams · Semiconductor Researchers · Display Engineers · Printed-Electronics Developers

Why Inkjet Printing? : For functional materials, the printing process can influence the final film as much as the ink itself. IPMaster-R provides a laboratory environment for investigating this relationship before moving toward larger production systems.
