Graphium UV Digital Hybrid Inkjet Press

Transform More Label Jobs to Digital with Graphium

Graphium offers label and packaging printers an alternative to flexo and screen printing of four-color plus white labels and decals up to 16-inches wide. With very little setup time, it can handle your short, medium and specialty work thereby freeing up your flexo presses for more profitable long run work.

Modularity Adds the Ultimate in Flexo Flexibility

Designed specifically for the narrow web market, the modular UV Graphium inkjet combines a range of leading technologies including an innovative workflow, prepress and color management software, as well as inkjet head calibration technology, to ensure consistent quality and repeatable production. With Graphium, printers also can have a fully integrated inline solution that incorporates flexographic, inkjet and finishing options.

Graphium Inkjet Press Highlights

Transfer More Jobs to Digital – High productivity digital printing in combination with optional flexo and die cutting stations.
Print On Demand In Hours Not Days – Reduce inventory, minimize over-processing with on-press proofing, minimize defects and spoilage with repeatable and consistent color, eliminate make ready and print just the quantities you want when you want.
A Host of Standard Tools – Graphium comes complete with web clean, corona and inter-color pinning; a proprietary Adaptive Screening Technology (AST); high-opacity white and a wide gamut of UV ink with superior light fastness, scratch and rub resistance.
Fully Modular Transport Options – Combine digital print, UV flexo and Aqueous flexo; add die-cutting, slitting, embossing; and even incorporate variable data printing as an added profit center.
Consistent Quality and Color Matching – Graphium stores all press data for a particular media ensuring reprints are consistent job after job. Color can be reliably emulated on a proofer ensuring the press proof and print run will match – many times this eliminates the requirement of a visual press sign off by the customer on CMYK jobs.
Full Width Print – Graphium’s high speed and 16″ print width produces the widest range of jobs on the widest range of substrates.
