Even a tiny gap between an ink tube and a damper can allow air micro-bubbles to slip into the line.

Commercial printing carriages shift back and forth at extreme speeds, generating continuous mechanical strain and pulling forces on ink lines. The Damper Lock mechanically welds the tubing connection in place, making it physically impossible for lines to wiggle loose or slip off during overnight production runs.

Maintaining accurate negative pressure is required for flawless ink droplet jetting. The lock provides uniform radial clamping on the fluid tube, preventing localized line squeezing
