Digital Printing & Finishing Equipment

Production & Modular Inkjet Systems

Add variable text, barcodes, numbering, graphics, spot color, dual color, or full-color printing to compatible feeders, transports, webs, mail lines, packaging systems, and other production equipment.

Modular inkjet systems allow printing technology to be configured around an existing production platform instead of requiring a complete standalone press.

What Determines the Right Modular Inkjet System?

Modular printing decisions are usually driven by the host equipment and the material, not by the print engine alone.

Required Print Width

Define the total printed height or width required on the product, including any margin needed for placement variation. Wider content may require multiple printhead positions.

Monochrome, Spot, Dual, or Full Color

Determine whether the application needs plain text and barcodes, a single spot color, two colors, or full-color graphics. This decision has the largest effect on system cost and complexity.

Material and Ink Compatibility

Review whether the surface is porous or coated, how quickly the ink must dry, whether the printed content must resist handling or moisture, and how the material behaves during transport.

Production Speed and Product Presentation

Consider line speed, product spacing, orientation, flatness, and how consistently the product presents itself to the printhead. Unstable presentation affects print quality more than raw speed.

Data, Controls, and Equipment Integration

Identify where the print data originates, how jobs are selected, what triggers a print, and how the print system communicates with the host machine and any downstream verification.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a modular inkjet system?

A modular inkjet system is a printing assembly made up of printheads, controllers, ink delivery, software, and mounting hardware that is installed onto compatible production equipment. The host machine moves the product, and the print system adds the printed content.

Can an inkjet system be added to existing equipment?

In many cases a print system can be added to existing equipment, but compatibility must be confirmed. Print width, line speed, product presentation, mounting space, distance from the printhead to the surface, ink and material compatibility, and control signals all determine whether an integration is practical.

What is the difference between production color and modular inkjet?

A production color printer is a complete system with its own transport, feeding, and output handling. A modular inkjet system supplies only the printing capability and depends on the surrounding equipment to feed, move, register, and collect the product.

What information is needed to evaluate an integration?

Useful details include the material and its surface, the required print width and content, line speed, product spacing and orientation, available mounting space, existing machine controls, data sources, and photographs or video of the current process.
