Our color piezo inkjet printers are turnkey systems designed to print photo- quality images, logos, and variable data in a single pass onto a variety of substrates. They easily attach to your press, vacuum transport, or web transport.
The combination of 108 mm (4.25”) print head width and speed up to 101 m/min (333 fpm) at 600 x 600 dpi make TC108 one of the highest performing inkjet printers available today.
Our printers are available for both UV curable and water-based inks. They are well suited for a variety of color print applications, including label printing, plastic card printing, coding and marking, transactional printing and promotional mailing.
Features and Benifits
Turnkey System — The TC108 turnkey printer quickly attaches to your transport and works together as a seamless unit. A la carte components are also available
Broad Substrate Compatibility — Print permanent, durable images with UV-curable inks onto plastic, coated labels or card stock, and other difficult substrates. Use water-based inks to print onto porous substrates like paper, cardboard, or envelopes
Wider Print Heads — At 108 mm (4.25”) per print head, TC108 covers a wider print width with fewer print heads and less stitching
Fastest Piezo Inkjet — TC108 uses some of the fastest piezo print heads on the market, with a 30 kHz firing rate for UV and 40 kHz for water-based inks. The max print speed is 101 m/min (333 ft/min) at 600 x 600 dpi and 203 m/min (667 ft/min) at 600 x 300 dpi
Process Color Printing — Print solids (e.g. logos) and photo quality images with easy-to-use color matching tools and precise color reproduction
Robust Ink System — Precise meniscus vacuum control ensures reliable print head operation and consistent print quality. Top off ink while printer is running
Flexible Software — Use our feature-rich but easy-to-use Composer job layout software, with advanced features like Color Matching, Multi-page PDF, Proofing, Read and Print, Supervisor Mode, and Composer Remote Interface
