Industrial Inkjet (IIJ) caused a stir at drupa with the speed of its new ‘i’ series single pass colour print engines.

Running at over 70 metres per minute the compact system promises to open up new opportunities for users.

IIJ works with various system manufacturing partners. The company develops inkjet print engines from 36 to 352 mm based on Konica Minolta piezo inkjet printheads.

It offers colour and monochrome systems, as well as systems for spot varnish, white inks or special security inks.

Its colour range currently comprises the ColourPrint 72, 142, 282 and 352 the numbers designating the print width. New models are being added regularly. It also offers HQ versions of the machines, which run at higher resolution (up to 720 x 720 dpi) and higher speeds with the new ‘i’ versions. The machines are ideal for applications such as pharma (carton and blister pack), labels, ID cards, primary and secondary packaging.

These engines are suitable for integration into web and sheetfed presses as well as conveyor lines or robotic systems for direct product decoration.

Full variable data software is included that allows the user to handle applications such as barcodes, numbering or addressing. The systems are also capable of printing full colour images from a database in real time.
