Continuous feed printers

The fastest digital printing systems that use the roll-to-roll mechanism where a clear roll of paper is unwound before printing and subsequently rewound – already printed – and passed for further processing on the Hunkeler cutting and book block preparation lines.

Océ ColorStream 3900
An innovative inkjet system that applies the Océ DigiDot piezoelectric drop-on-demand technology, the industry’s fastest and most reliable inkjet print heads. We print using the latest generation pigment inks, which enables us to reproduce colour in crisp and sharp detail as well as to maintain smooth tonal gradation while using less ink and generating very little material waste.

 

  • colour and monochrome print – as required
  • printing speed – 127 metres per minute
  • roll width – up to 540 mm
  • resolution – 600 dpi, due to the application of the DigiDot technology the perceived quality is 1 200 dpi
  • capable of printing more than one job on one roll

TruePress Jet520HD
Inkjet printing system manufactured by Screen that creates new opportunities for fast precision colour printing of unmatched quality and at a competitive price. Truepress Jet520HD uses water-based pigment ink compatible with a wide range of standard offset media as well as coated and self-adhesive paper stocks, thus ensuring ultra-realistic photographic quality. The available colour gamut is essentially the same as for traditional printing inks. 2019 saw the purchase and installation of our second TruePress machine.

 

  • printing speed of up to 120 m/min., for maximum resolution: 50 m/min.
  • printing on celluloid-based stocks from a roll of up to 520 mm wide
  • resolution of up to 1200 dpi
  • perfect quality due to the use of water-based pigment inks and latest printhead technology
  • built-in quality control system

Cut-sheet printers

We have an extremely broad range of machinery at our disposal. Starting with the high-performance Canon VarioPrint 6320 Ultra+ monochrome systems, through to the Ricoh Pro C9200 and Konica Minolta AccurioJet KM-1 (which prints in the B2 plus size) colour machines.

 

 

Konica Minolta AccurioJet KM-1
The system combines the benefits of an offset press with the advantages of a UV inkjet press. The technology applied within the KM-1 allows to achieve quality previously unattainable in digital printing. The machine incorporates, for the first time in history, the traditional paper-conveying technology used in offset printing to ensure superior stability and precise sheet registration. We have two KM-1 systems.

 

  • paper size up to B2+ (585 x 750 mm)
  • quality exceeding offset printing due to the application of 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution and stochastic screening
  • printing on traditional offset media and textured and synthetic substrates (e.g. polypropylene), as well as high density stocks
  • printing speed: up to 3 000 sheets per hour (single-sided) or 1 500 sheets per hour (double-sided)
  • outstanding colour reproduction quality (first and additional prints identical in terms of colour reproduction consistency due to the application of an advanced colour management system)

Canon Océ VarioPrint 6320 Ultra+
Four digital monochrome systems able to print at a remarkable quality level comparable to offset printing and impressive image resolution with near-perfect registration.

  • monochrome print
  • maximum sheet size – 350×500 mm
  • near-perfect front to back registration thanks to simultaneous double-sided printing
  • each system has a capacity of 18 800 A4 pages per hour

Ricoh Pro C9200
We have two of these systems at our disposal, which we use mostly to print book covers. They enable us to achieve high print quality (including printing on heavily textured media) thanks to, amongst others, the use of elastic fusing belts. The chemical toners used in the system mean that the prints produced on the Ricoh Pro C9200 can be laminated and coated (dry and thermal coating) immediately after printing. The system ensures effective printing on heavy-weight paper and cardboard.

  • printing at 2400×4 800 dpi
  • paper weight: from 53 g/m² up to 400 g/m²
  • varied media that are typically used in offset machines (including coated paper, bulky media, layered cardboard)
  • size – up to 330×700 mm, which enables printing e.g. covers with flaps
  • printing speed – 115 A4 pages per minute
