Electron capture can impart negative charge, causing trajectory deflection. Post-beam neutralization with a low-energy plasma or ion gun; also use conductive inks (carbon nanotubes, silver nanoparticles).

Within five years, we expect EBS inkjet to become standard for:

The newer E-260 handheld uses a smartphone-style interface. This reduces the learning curve significantly. An operator can learn to use it in minutes compared to the complex menu structures of older industrial coders.

The printhead firing signal triggers the e-beam pulse (5–10 µs duration) timed to the droplet’s midpoint flight. Nozzles that fire simultaneously share the same beam aperture.
