Control unit: 320 x 320 x 700 mm (incl. operating terminal)
Print head: 40 x 40 x 145 mm, (L x W x H)
Print system:
Continuous inkJET system consisting of control unit and printing unit.
Ink system:
One-liter bottles for ink and solvent. Easily replaceable. Solvent consumption only 2 ml/h at 20°C thanks to solvent recovery. No compressed air connection necessary.
Ink types:
Large variety of opaque and dye-based inks for multiple materials and applications.
Working conditions:
Temperature: +5°C to +45°C, max. 90% relative air humidity, non-condensing.
Hardware:
Control unit and printing unit are independent of each other. This means that additional printing units can be controlled and synchronized by one single master unit. Peripheral equipment, such as an xy-axis control system, is controlled and synchronised via a previously defined interface.
