Manufacturers and packagers looking for an off-line standalone print system are often finding that the Accufast P8 high resolution ink jet print system with its fully integrated material transport fits the bill. The P8 has a small physical foot print – crucial when manufacturing floor space is at a premium – and offers high quality printing and excellent graphic imaging power. This printer features two banks of four HP type cartridges each (thus the P8 name) which offers the user a full four inch wide print space. The printer is fully integrated with its own material transport system. The P8 is ideal either as a standalone printer when combined with the ACCUFAST HDF Feeder unit or as a print module that can be made part of a larger automated manufacturing or packaging system.
The system also allows either or both of the 4 cartridge print imagers to be independently positioned anywhere across its 14-inch wide print path. This allows for printing virtually any place on the item to be printed and can enhance print quality on uneven materials. The material to be printed is transported through the system on a vacuum belt at fully variable speeds up to 100 inches per second with while maintaining 300 by 300 dot per inch (dpi) print resolution.
Options available for integration with the P8 include; the automated HDF Feeding module, an automatic capping and cleaning system for the print heads, and various camera attachments for print quality inspection or bar code confirmation.
