Applications (Where it is Used)
|
|---|---|---|
| Wide Ink Compatibility | Optimized for newer ink formulations with improved chemical resistance and an even broader viscosity range than the Gen5, excelling in high-demand UV applications. | Latest UV Inks: High-speed single-pass industrial printing, rigid/flexible packaging. Aqueous & Solvent: Specific models available for high-speed textile and graphic arts applications. |
| Substrate Adaptability | The enhanced jetting stability allows for reliable printing across the same broad range of materials as the Gen5, with better consistency at higher speeds. | Rigid: Glass, metal, ceramics, wood, durable plastics, customized panels. Flexible: Banners, films, heat-sensitive materials. |
| Application Scenarios | Higher productivity allows entry into more demanding industrial sectors requiring faster throughput, such as industrial decor and sophisticated packaging lines. | High-Speed Signage: Faster roll-to-roll production. Industrial Automation: Integration into automated production lines for direct-to-object printing. Packaging: High-resolution output for short-run cardboard and flexible packaging. |
| Print Quality/Speed Balance | A major improvement over the Gen5: a significantly higher firing frequency (up to 50kHz) combined with a smaller minimum droplet size (down to 5 picoliters). | Increased Speed: Higher throughput for industrial users focused on m²/hr. Improved Quality: Finer details and smoother gradients compared to the Gen5 due to smaller min. drop size and enhanced grayscale control. |
| Integration | Retains the durable, robust industrial form factor of the Gen5, ensuring backward compatibility in many system designs while offering superior performance characteristics. | Widely adopted by global OEMs for next-generation industrial flatbed and single-pass printers due to its performance boost over the previous model. |
