Hi-res piezo inkjet system has varied print widths

  Making its debut at Ipex 2010 will be the Domino K600 high resolution single colour piezo ink jet system.

  At Ipex 2010 Domino will be showing a 333mm (13.1in) K600 printing system integrated on an AB Graphics rewinder.

  The latest addition to Domino's K-Series machine, the 600 dots per inch (dpi) K600, is said to satisfy the growing market requirement to digitally print complete products.

  Print widths range from 108mm (4.25in) to 780mm (30.8in), with scalability being achieved by mounting print modules across a bar.

  The K600 joins a range which includes the K100, K150 and K200 variants.

  These are available with UV curable and low volatile solvent inks and have been deployed in a variety of applications since their 2005 introduction.

  Domino said that the range now accounts for an estimated 30 per cent worldwide market share in its target markets.

  The K-Series' variable data printing capability supports barcodes, 2D codes including QR Codes, numbers, graphics, logos and personalised data in a range of different image sizes, added the company.

  The capability to accommodate different print widths by stitching heads across the web is key to the K-Series' appeal, said the company.

  The stitchable K200 provides up to 244mm (9.6in) single image area.

  The new K600 provides double the print resolution, greyscale capability and is suitable both for narrow web as well as wider format sheet and web applications.

  Philip Easton, director of digital printing solutions at Domino, said: 'Installations of the K-Series have been increasingly weighted towards multiple printer installations, indicating a general market requirement to print high quality variable data across full web widths.

  The K600 responds to this need, offering a native print resolution of 600dpi with three or four greyscales (nominal 1200dpi) and line speeds of 50 to150 metres (160 feet - 490 feet ).

  He added: 'The new K600 offers a flexible single-colour system for part-personalisation through to full sheet or web printing, delivering a quality indistinguishable from that of pre-print at double the speed of most comparable systems.

  Typical web applications for the K600 include digitally printing single colour language variants for short run production, helping to reduce complexity, change-over time and inventory requirements compared to conventional flexo systems, while in the sheetfed arena, the system is said to be suitable for sheet-to-sheet game card and security printing applications.

  In common with all K-Series models, the K600 has a modular design to facilitate integration with a range of host machines and is available with aqueous and UV curable ink options.

  Easton explained: 'Alternative binary technology, although high speed, cannot match the simplicity of the K600 piezo-based technology or indeed get close to the print quality.

  For applications including direct mail, forms and tickets, we believe this product will be seen as a significant advancement.
