Inkjet Printers | The interesting engineering behind them

Inkjet printers are truly the magic of C Y and M colors. In this video let's understand how do they work in a logical way.

Imagine being an engineer spending your entire life making this technology perfect, only for the companies to make them unreliable and expensive, and to see everyone despise your creation for being annoying

The use of inverted RGB was mind blowing. Haven’t learned something so interesting in a long time

*with quality animations like in this video conventional schools are gonna have a tuff time in future...*

Engineers rule. I came to understand the nozzle design at 1:00 and rolled my eyes at the RGB/CMY part... until I kept watching and got humbled by how sophisticated it actually is.

A perfect example of how the engineers can make you love a product, and then the marketing department can make you hate it.

I've taken printers for granted, I had no idea how complex they actually were!

[DonTruman]

Excellent. Thank you.
I can't hardly imagine an engineer dreaming this up: "ok, so, we'll put a teeny tiny heater coil above a channel of ink, that will cause a vapor bubble that will force out a droplet of perfect size. And then after turning off the coil, the meniscus with draw the ink back into the chamber, and then return to the surface but without releasing anymore ink. And it will do all of this in a tiny fraction of a second. Sound good? Let's spend a few hundred thousand on this idea now to see if it works..."

This is how schools should teach students. Not just theory but practically also. Human mind works in images only, Not text and numbers. Never goona forget this engineering video. Loved it.

It baffles me to know that there are micro nozzles and heating resistors in an absurdly large quantity while being extremely tiny yet they manage to print impeccable pictures.

I have finally understood why primary colors are not used in ink cartridges. Like always, another great video. Thank you.

Hats off to Sabin and his entire team (if any). So beautifully explained that even a small kid will understand the science behind this complex engineering. I would request Lesics to do such videos covering all the high school topics.

Minor correction: DPI is *not* a count of how many dots per square inch of paper, as suggested at 11:00 - it's how many dots there are per linear inch.
300 dots per square inch would equal about 17 dots per linear inch, and that would look very, very bad indeed!

[caty]

Now I know where the "dot" in the DPI comes from. these engineers are truly amazing.

[Sebastianmaz]

My mind was blown and baffled by 1:35 where "heating up resistor coils" came into play. Just the thought of how intricate a printer can be is amazing. 👍🏻😊

[olhakesta]

Here's an excellent example of how things that seem simple turn out to be extremely complex and the result of long and painstaking investigations.
On the other hand, this video is an example of excellent information and dissemination work. Great job! Thanks!

[PREMMADAAN]

I can't even imagine how much editings were required to explain this in simplest way. Just loved it!

[ninaddeshmukh]

My mind is just blown
And the way you explain this in a simpler way is just so amazing
I wish you would have been my University Teacher

[FreeCircuitLab]

Once I have requested for this vid. Thanks a lot!

[jxzcilj]

As a printing technology student I have found the animation really clear and rigorous. I couldn't wrap my head around the principle how a printing head releases ink and what toggles it to produce a needed output. Thank you really much for the insightful chunk of knowledge!!

Just wow!! Thanks for going at lengths to make us understand the brilliant engineering behind modern printers. I learnt a great deal by this video. Thanks a ton!!
