Printhead Card Managers | PHCM-C8-3
PHCM-C8-3 – 8 Channel – USB 3.0
GIS Inkjet Operating System
The PHCM-C8-3 is the latest hardware component of the GIS Inkjet Operating System.
It enables a standard Windows PC to drive multiple industrial inkjet printheads via USB 3.0 in Single Pass, Scanning XY and custom systems. The PHCM-C8-3 also supports drop watching.
Complete Printhead Control
The PHCM-C8-3 provides read and write access to all available OEM printhead settings including temperature control, voltage and waveform settings, binary and greyscale calibration.
Drop Placement Control
The Advanced Encoder Manager System (AEMS) supports industry standard encoders and product detect / print go signals and provides per-printhead encoder divide and sub-pixel adjust, delivering complete drop placement control and repeatability.

Connectivity
The PHCM-C8-3 is a component of the GIS Inkjet Operating System. It is designed to drive any manufacturer’s printhead using GIS Head Personality Boards.
Performance
Each printhead is driven by a dedicated high speed channel capable of delivering print data on demand in the most demanding of applications.
High speed on-board RAM provides ample buffering for wide-format and single pass systems, allowing the specialised software drivers to deliver continuous static and variable data streams to the printheads.
Advanced Applications
With the power to simultaneously drive multiple printhead technologies off the same system at different resolutions, the PHCM-C8-3 opens up a world of possibilities for printer development and manufacturing.
