Mainboard and Board Card

I. Mainboard and Board Card: The “Central Nervous System” of DTF Printers

The mainboard and board card together form the control unit of a DTF printer, which can be called the “brain” and “central nervous system” of the equipment. The mainboard is responsible for coordinating core commands such as printhead movement, inkjet timing, and the operation of the transmission system. The board card, on the other hand, specifically implements specialized functions like drive control, interface communication, and status monitoring. The performance of these two components directly determines the stability, printing quality, and functional expandability of the printer. As the industry consensus goes: “The competition for high-end DTF printers is essentially a technological battle of control units.”

II. Core Players: Overview of Hansen and Beijing Boyuan Board Cards

1. Shenzhen Board Card: Developed by Shenzhen Hansen, it is an early participant in the DTF printer board card field. However, in recent years, its technological iteration and service system have shown shortcomings.
2. Beijing Boyuan Board Card: Affiliated with Beijing Boyuan Hengxin, it focuses on the R&D of printing control system technology, with in-depth technology and open services as its core competitiveness.

III. Technology and Function: The All-Round Leadership of Beijing Boyuan Board Card

(I) Hardware Support and Functional Expansion

IV. Openness of Board Cards and Modules, and Services

(I) Board Card System Openness and Board Card Customization Response

The degree of openness of the mainboard and board card directly affects the adaptation flexibility of the printer. The Shenzhen board card adopts a “manufacturer monopoly” management model: users need to contact the manufacturer to upgrade the firmware, and most customization requirements are directly rejected. In contrast, the Beijing Boyuan board card focuses on technology R&D and does not engage in commercial monopoly. Its control unit supports flexible debugging, and the response efficiency for customization is high.

V. R&D Collaboration and Printing Effect: The Ultimate Verification of Strategic Cooperation

1. Joint R&D Breakthroughs: Keditec has joined hands with Epson and the Beijing Boyuan board card team to develop new printer technologies. Through the technological complementarity of the three parties, the iteration of printer models has been accelerated.
2. Third-Party Evaluation Evidence: After multiple rounds, long-term, and multi-dimensional tests conducted by international evaluation institutions, it was found that the color restoration and granularity control of Keditec printers equipped with the Beijing Boyuan board card are directly related to the precise drive of the printhead and the fine control of ink droplets by the board card. Moreover, the industry’s optimal resolution standard of 360 DPI further highlights the practical value of this technological gap.
