According to Thunderbolt Solutions, indicators are that inkjet printing will grow exponentially over the next few years on all printed materials, including packaging, because of innovative high-performance technology that is available in the market.
As such, Thunderbolt Solutions will be hosting a roadshow in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town to take a deeper look into the inkjet world. They have secured international inkjet presenters from their various principals such as Agfa, Komori, Kyocera and Screen to discuss current and future trends. Topics covering low-cost production to product automation will be discussed and all questions will be answered by industry experts.
Agfa is a complete digital printing solution provider with more than 100 years of imaging expertise. Known for its innovation and technological leadership, it retains a close relationship with customers and has a strong service division. The OEM’s key advantage is its in-house ink manufacturing and patented Thin Ink Layer technology that minimises ink usage due to high-volume conductivity at low curing temperatures. Another key Agfa advantage is its easy-to-use Asanti workflow software for the large format printing industry.
Komori was founded in 1923 and is regarded as a manufacturer of solid and reliable production presses. The company has a strong focus on environmental conservation and corporate ethics, with a drive to empower ‘Kando’ printing for customers. This methodology encourages waste reduction, continuous operational improvement and streamlined workflow.
Kyocera has developed a wide range of printing solutions that are economical and environmentally friendly. As a preferred supplier of head technology, Kyocera has leveraged its extensive expertise in enterprise solutions and multi-function printing to develop the TASKalfa Pro 15000c, a high-speed continuous feed inkjet production printer that offers full front access.
Screen’s 75 years of graphic arts industry experience has made them one of the world’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of production systems for the prepress and printing industries. Screen’s specialist knowledge and ongoing investment in product development continue to advance their hardware and software technologies.
Thunderbolt is excited about the future of South Africa’s printing industry and is ready to showcase its solutions to the market.
