The new KJet is the ultimate hybrid concept. It is the full labels factory in one press.
The KJet represents the pinnacle of hybrid technology, offering operators a seamless experience with its user-friendly interface and ultra-short web path. This design not only minimizes waste but also reduces setup times, showcasing the advantages of digital printing.
Combining the great ‘cylinder-base dual-servo’ flexo technology from Omet, with the robustness and reliability of Durst RSCi Digital printing engine, the KJet line is born to be the benchmark in hybrid printing machines. It provides the operators with a new experience in simplicity and easy of use together with an ultra-short web path that minimizes waste and reduces the set-up times highlighting the benefits of digital printing.
The power of its automation and register control redefine the concept of versatility and extend the boundaries of printing and converting solutions. Endless possibilities of applications, from labels to packaging without compromising on performance or print quality.
“The combination of digital with flexo offers an innovative hybrid solution that maximises productivity and flexibility, enabling printers to select between flexo or digital printing, thereby optimising efficiency and reducing costs while meeting evolving market demands such as personalisation and just-in-time deliveries in a single-pass,” Thomas Macina, Sales Director for Labels & Flexible Packaging said.
“We have been leading the inkjet label printing market for many years and we provide entry level solutions up to industrial needs at 100 metres per minute and 510 millimetres wide. We have been observing a clear market trend towards end-to-end production and this is why we have reinforced our partnership with OMET. The KJet is a perfect combination of a dual-servo cylinder based flexo unit combined with the robustness, efficiency and productivity of the Durst RSCi digital print engine. This provides a new experience to operators in terms of simplicity, minimal set-up time and low waste,” Macina said.
