Inkcups Launches Digital Printer For Direct-To-Bag And Hard Goods Applications

XJET Switch, the addition to the XJET line, is the first UV flatbed printing machine formulated with high-quality bag decoration in mind. As the ‘Switch’ title indicates, the new machine boasts flexible capabilities for both pliable and hard goods, manual load and automated load and index, either 180 or 90 degrees if some pretreatment is required.

The XJET Switch sets a new standard in swift and high-quality UV flatbed printing, producing high-quality, full CMYKWW (highly opaque white) images directly onto a variety of bags and hard goods. Its exceptional capabilities make it an ideal solution for decorating reusable bags made from a wide range of materials and colours, and it is capable of handling even the most challenging substrates such as clear and thin bags.

The machine decorates reusable bags, totes, and hard goods and features: four rotating platens- two on each side, customisable; continuous printing design for loading and unloading while the machine is printing; and instant UV light curing capability with two 16W adjustable lamps.

The four rotating platens of the XJET Switch are a standard feature that optimises print productivity with two set-ups simultaneously. Additionally, the system provides customisation options that allow for the configuration of platens to meet specific customer requirements. For instance, it is feasible to have three-up, four-up, or more within the printable area. Additionally, the industrial design allows for integrated pre-treatment.

This industrial printer is specifically designed for a 3-shift production set-up, enabling rapid prints with exceptional quality. It incorporates cutting-edge functionalities including automated purging, wiping, and caping stations, white recirculating system, servo control indexer, two 16-watt adjustable UV lamps, and numerous additional features that contribute to swift production while ensuring high-resolution images for a premium finished product.

Paired with the highly flexible XFLEXX UV Ink series, the XJET Switch highlights its versatility by decorating an extensive range of reusable bags, eliminating the risk of cracking or distorting as the bag naturally moves with use. Furthermore, among the ink series, the Vivid White ink stands out, delivering a brighter and more opaque white, rivalling the printed white achieved through competing processes.
