The worldwide launch of Industrial Inkjet Ltd’s (IIJ) XYPrint 300 system will be at Fespa 2015 in Cologne this May. Live printing will be carried out over the five days of the show on the XYPrint 300, an inkjet system for process development, print research, direct product decoration, material deposition/additive manufacturing and low-volume production.
Using Konica Minolta inkjet printheads, the XYPrint 300 is designed to cover the widest possible range of process parameters. With single-pass and multi-pass print capability, it comes with a simple syringe-based ink system for rapid change of ink type and minimal ink wastage.
Features include a granite bed for stability, a reinforced structure which minimises vibration or shock, scan speeds of 0-1.2m/sec minimum, electronics and software drive for up to eight printheads, mounting for up to 10 printheads in line, for example white, CMYK, spot colour, LED and varnish.
John Corrall, managing director of IIJ, a company that doubled its manufacturing base to cope with a 60% sales rise last year, said: “This system, which has been a year in development on the back of the huge success of the XYPrint 200, is twice as fast and even more accurate and flexible. Target sectors will include ink developers, universities, media producers, research laboratories, and low volume product decoration as well as many others.”
