Industrial Inkjet (IIJ) will launch its new inkjet system, XYPrint 300 at Fespa in Cologne, Germany, which will be hosted between May 18th-22nd this year.

Using Konica Minolta inkjet printheads, the XYPrint 300 offers single-pass and multi-pass print capability, as standard.  It comes with a syringe-based ink system for ‘rapid change of ink type and minimal ink wastage’.

New features include a granite bed to ensure stability, a reinforced structure which minimizes 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 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. It will also have a huge impact in this specialist market.”

“Target sectors will include ink developers, universities, media producers, research laboratories, and low volume product decoration as well as many others. We’ve received considerable interest already and show-goers to Fespa can look forward to live printing on to everyday consumer goods on our stand.”

The inkjet system is suitable for process development, print research, direct product decoration, material deposition/additive manufacturing and low-volume production.
