Dantex Digital has added PicoJet 254, a 254mm (10in) print width UV inkjet digital label press.
Offered as a five-colour, reel-to-reel UV system, PicoJet 254 operates at a variety of speeds up to 75m/min.
The press is built for high volume printing capability offering production in excess of eight million linear metres per year. A 2.5pL droplet size and an effective resolution of 1200 x 1200dpi, the PicoJet 254 offers ‘superior print quality’, according to Dantex. The fine resolution means this press is capable of printing micro text and text down to a small point size. The software can also restrict the outline of the text, thereby enabling readability even on the smallest of details.
The print system incorporates web stream technology, an automatic web reverse function minimising waste between jobs. Automatic splice recognition allows the printheads to move out of the way of the splice during reel changes.
As with all systems in the Dantex Pico range, PicoJet 254 includes Dantex’s proprietary software for the production of high quality labels, together with image manipulation features.
This digital front end software manages colour, ink and media, and provides the operator with the facility to access and configure jobs within a single application environment. Press-ready files are processed automatically via hot folders and high resolution, colour-managed data is optimised for output. The software takes full advantage of the PicoJet ink set via a spot colour matching facility, and files can be exported with full accuracy of the colour match.
PicoJet 254 is also equipped with Dantex PicoPilot front end controller, which provides the operator with the tools to deliver high quality, colour accurate prints, quickly and repeatedly. PicoPilot includes step and repeat functions, imposition templates, registration control and label counting.
Dantex Digital is the digital printing division of Dantex Group.
