Colordyne Technologies Launches3600? Series UV - Retrofit Solution with Process Color UV Inkjet Engine

Colordyne Technologies has announced its newest innovation in digital inkjet printing, the 3600 Series UV - Retrofit. As a compliment to its current aqueous-based solutions, the 3600 Series UV - Retrofit provides a cost-effective method for adding process color UV inkjet printing capabilities to existing converting equipment. The 3600 Series UV - Retrofit is powered by Colordyne's proprietary print engine control software, leveraging the latest in UV inkjet imaging technology.

Retrofitting integrates digital print capabilities onto a wide variety of new or existing flexo press, web handling and converting systems. This technique provides label and packaging converters an affordable path to hybrid printing while leveraging the value of the current equipment in their pressroom. Building off its strong presence in the aqueous inkjet space, Colordyne now looks to take its knowledge and expertise surrounding digital retrofits into the UV inkjet market.

Colordyne developed the new 3600 Series UV print engine in response to the growing demand for digital four-color process UV inkjet retrofit solutions. Not only will the new 3600 Series UV - Retrofit leverage a similar footprint and integration method as Colordyne's existing 3600 Series AQ - Retrofit, it will also feature the same front-end software and user interface. This offers users the opportunity to diversify their printing capabilities at a low capital cost.

The 3600 Series UV - Retrofit prints digital CMYK plus white at speeds up to 246 feet per minute (75 meters per minute). The UV solution is available in 8.5 inch (216 mm) or 12.75 inch (324 mm) print width configurations and delivers a print resolution of 600 by 600 dpi. It uses vibrant UV curable inks designed for a wide range of self-adhesive and flexible packaging materials allowing customers to pursue applications that demand durability in the industrial, personal care, pharmaceutical, security, health and beauty, automotive, safety, chemical, food and beverage markets.

The 3600 Series UV print engine technology is currently available as a retrofit solution and will be showcased alongside the 3600 Series AQ - Retrofit at Labelexpo Europe 2017 in Brussels, Belgium. Colordyne has further plans to introduce the 3600 Series UV inkjet print engine into its in-line digital printing solutions.
