The piezoelectric element is the core of inkjet technology. Within a thickness of just 40 μm, the technology required to discharge ink has been condensed.

Conventional piezoelectric drive systems deform in only one direction. Brother’s proprietary three-layer piezoelectric drive, however, moves up and down in large, alternating motions.
This unique movement generates high pressure, enabling powerful ink discharge.

High output
MAXIDRIVE delivers high-output discharge performance for demanding print applications.
From high-speed printing to high-gap printing and printing with high-viscosity ink, it fully delivers the performance required of industrial printers, achieving both high productivity and high quality.

High durability and long service life
Conventional drive systems that deform in only one direction inevitably suffer from expansion and contraction fatigue as the number of piezoelectric drive cycles increases. A decline in durability over long-term use could not be avoided.
MAXIDRIVE reduces expansion and contraction fatigue by using alternating up-and-down drive to pull back shrinkage. It achieves the durability demanded at industrial printing sites.

For office printers, industrial-grade, high-durability print head technology has been incorporated, achieving a 200% longer lifetime than conventional products.

1. High-gap printing
With its high-discharge power, MAXIDRIVE delivers high image quality even when printing from a greater distance between the media and the nozzles. It enables printing on media that has been difficult for conventional printers, such as over fabric seams and pockets, on three-dimensional objects, and on uneven surfaces.

2. High-speed printing
Printing speeds have improved dramatically thanks to the increased volume of ink drops that can be discharged per unit of time. In office printing, this results in speeds up to 150% faster than conventional products.
*Print speeds are based on ISO/IEC 24734 and 24735 international standards
*Comparison of models fitted with MAXIDRIVE (MFC-J7600CDW, MFC-J7500CDW, MFC-J5800CDW, HL-J7010CDW) and Brother’s 2018 model (MFC-J6999CDW)

3. Less show-through, sharp printing
The high-discharge power makes it possible to discharge large volumes of high-viscosity, high-density ink in a short time. Even when printing on dark-colored fabrics, it produces results that resist show-through and are vibrant and sharply defined.
