Colordyne Technologies, a manufacturer of high-speed, high-resolution inkjet print engines, continues strategic move aimed at providing greater flexibility and customization for label and packaging converters. The company has been developing solutions using new durable Mechanical Piezo print head technology, moving away from its previous reliance on Memjet’s Thermal Piezo print heads.
For over a decade, Colordyne has been at the forefront of hybrid production presses, enabling converters to retrofit digital inkjet technology onto existing equipment without sacrificing existing press functionality. With the adoption of Mechanical Piezo print heads, Colordyne has introduced their 3800 Series Water-Based and 3800 Series UV-LED inkjet engines, an open-source system architecture that offers unmatched flexibility for end users, allowing them to select the ink chemistries, componentry, software and performance configurations that best suit their unique production needs.
"Eliminating the walled garden surrounding digital printing technology is critical," said Taylor Buckthorpe, director of sales and marketing for Colordyne Technologies. "To differentiate themselves OEMs and end users need the flexibility to leverage unique ink formulations and the supporting components and system architecture to better address the market."Providing an open-source platform means converters can customize their systems to meet specific requirements, enhancing both performance and functionality. Whether it's adapting to new ink chemistries or fine-tuning operational components, Colordyne’s approach provides end users with more control over their production processes, maximizing efficiency while minimizing short and long-term costs.
Colordyne’s 3800 Series Mechanical Piezo-based inkjet print engines allow label and packaging converters to integrate inkjet technology seamlessly into existing production lines and OEMS to develop and integrate inkjet printing quickly. The 3800 Series is offered in a variety of configurations ranging from one color print bars and four to seven colors for process color print engines. The 3800 Series modular design promotes innovation by providing users the freedom to change or upgrade key components, ensuring that their investment can evolve as technology and market demands change.
"With the flexible architecture of the 3800 Series, we’re offering tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of each customer," said Buckthorpe. "We’ve recognized the market requires systems that can adapt to changing demands, and we’re proud to deliver technology that allows for this level of customization."
Colordyne’s commitment to open-source architecture reflects its broader vision of empowering users with greater choice, flexibility, and performance. By moving away from proprietary models, the company is positioned to offer future-proof solutions that align with the evolving needs of label and packaging converters, private label manufacturers, and brand owners.
