Printing

Printing Method

Piezoelectric inkjet using 3rd generation VariaDot imaging technology in a six colour configuration plus White; arranged in seven independent channels of six 636-nozzle variable droplet printheads per channel, 42 printheads in total.

Ink Channels

CMYK + W + cm

Curing

Halide

Print Resolution

Variable droplet sizes from 6 to 30 picoliters. The ability to vary the drop size to 6 picoliters produces sharp images with smoother gradients and quartertones. The ability to jet larger droplets up to 30 picoliters produces uniform colors. The result is photo-realistic print quality with sharpness only before seen at resolutions of 1,440 dpi or higher. Text as small as 6 pt. is perfectly legible.
