Control unit: 320 x 320 x 700 mm (incl. operator terminal)
Print head: 40 x 40 x 145 mm (L x W x H)
Print system:
Continuous ink jet system, comprising a control unit and a printing unit.
Ink system:
1-litre bottles for ink and solvent, easy to change. Solvent consumption only 2 ml/h at 20°C thanks to solvent recovery system. No requirement for compressed air.
Ink types:
dye-based ink, suited to your individual requirements, depending on product material and application.
Working conditions:
