Machine Capabilities
Able to print at 100 meters per minute, the Dumax-330 is a high-speed roll-to-roll inkjet press designed for labels, custom packaging, and variable data applications. It features a maximum printing width of 222 mm. Capable of 600 mm diameter roll of coated, uncoated, glossy, matte, synthetic, or plastic film at 100 meters a minute. The new Memjet Duralink printhead carries a 1600 dpi resolution with 70,400 nozzles and five times nozzle redundancy. This means five nozzles address each pixel on the page for truly sustainable quality.
Xitron’s Navigator DFE controls job queuing, imaging, and color management, including spot color matching capabilites. RIP speed is among the fastest in the industry, even when incorporating variable data options for custom applications. Because of this, Navigator is able to drive the Dumax-330 at full rated speed. Built around the Harlequin platform, Navigator’s command and control of jobs allows operators to maintain complete production visibility throughout runs.
“We’re extremely honored to be working with UP Group and Memjet on this important launch,” said Karen Crews, Xitron president. “The interest at the exhibition was high and the press performed flawlessly through the entire show schedule.” Willie Huang, Chairman of UP Group added, “Our teams have kept in close contact throughout this development process and the result is a tightly integrated system that is producing superior results.
