Commercial print includes the production of documents, invoices, stationery, leaflets and flyers. While dominated by conventional offset printing and flexography, the growth in digital commercial print is significant and inkjet is increasingly providing competition to toner-based systems.
Meteor is a leading independent supplier of printhead driving solutions to developers of commercial print systems. Providing products with a host of features backed by responsive, world-wide technical support, Meteor is the first choice for ease of integration and unsurpassed system performance.
Benefits for Inkjet Presses
- Industrial inkjet presses offer supply chain advantages over conventional printing including dramatically reduced set-up leading to cost-effective shorter production runs, faster order turnaround, ease of colour matching on repeat orders, lower stock of finished products and reduction of obsolete inventory due to the ability to print on demand.
- Meteor’s ability to support printhead arrays of any size, ultra-high data rates, large image buffers and long cable lengths means that high speed single-pass systems as well as scanning machines with massive carriages can be deployed with no limitation on throughput.
- Inkjet technology offers attractive design benefits in Commercial Print applications including the ability to print on a wide variety of substrates such as vinyl, paper and polyester. Documents can be printed immediately after creation and inkjet’s ability to integrate variable data with static elements at high speed can simplify the production process.
- Meteor drive electronics and software can produce complex, multi-pulse waveforms to control printhead drop ejection volume, velocity and timing allowing print system builders to optimise ink/printhead combinations and to get the best from their chosen printhead.
- High throughput industrial inkjet presses often require UV lamps, elaborate ink systems and precise motion control. Meteor products fully implement the functions required of such systems.
