BROOKFIELD, WI — Colordyne Technologies, a leading manufacturer of high-speed, high-resolution inkjet print engines, continues a 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 Mechanical Piezo print heads, Colordyne has introduced its 3800 Series Water-Based and 3800 Series UV-LED inkjet engines — an open-source system architecture that offers unmatched flexibility, allowing users to select the ink chemistries, componentry, software and performance configurations that best suit their production needs.
“Eliminating the walled garden surrounding digital printing technology is critical. 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.”
Configure the engine to the application
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 gives end users 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 enable OEMs to develop and integrate inkjet printing quickly. The 3800 Series is offered in configurations ranging from one-color print bars to four- and seven-color process color print engines. Its modular design promotes innovation by giving users the freedom to change or upgrade key components 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. The market requires systems that can adapt to changing demands, and we're proud to deliver technology that allows for this level of customization.”
By moving away from proprietary models, Colordyne is positioned to offer future-proof solutions that align with the evolving needs of label and packaging converters, private label manufacturers, and brand owners.
