- Integrated Inspection System: Equipped with a high-resolution line scan camera that continuously inspects the print for defects, ensuring only the highest quality products are produced.
- Real-Time Tracking and Defect Management: Incorporates the Delta-X Tracker system, which monitors every aspect of the printing process, automatically detecting and flagging or removing defects to maintain uninterrupted production flow.
- Vertical Resolution of 600 DPI: The vertical resolution of 600 dots per inch (DPI) ensures exceptionally detailed and sharp image quality. This high resolution is ideal for producing intricate graphics and precise text, critical for applications requiring high-quality print outputs such as detailed labels and flexible packaging.
- Horizontal Resolution of 300, 600, 900, and 1200 DPI: The WP-360 offers variable horizontal resolutions ranging from 300 to 1200 DPI. This flexibility allows the system to adapt to various print quality requirements, providing versatility in print detail and speed optimization. Higher resolutions are used for premium-quality prints, while lower settings can be selected to increase printing speeds without significantly compromising quality.
- Head Width of 365 mm: The print head width of 365 mm (approximately 14.37 inches) supports a broad print area, enabling the WP-360 to handle larger formats and wider web widths. This wide print head is particularly beneficial for full-web printing applications, allowing simultaneous multiple-lane printing, which maximizes productivity and material usage.
- Maximum Speed of 500 ft/min at 600 DPI: The WP-360 is capable of printing at speeds up to 500 feet per minute while maintaining a resolution of 600 DPI. This high-speed capability ensures rapid production cycles, making it suitable for high-volume industrial environments where both speed and print quality are essential.
- Drop Volume of 3.5 pL: With a minimal drop volume of 3.5 picoliters (pL), the WP-360 achieves an excellent balance of print clarity and ink efficiency. The small drop size allows for fine detail and smooth gradations in images while also reducing ink consumption, which is crucial for maintaining lower operational costs in large-scale production.
- Ink Delivery System: The WP-360 offers two ink delivery system options: gravity-fed and recirculating. Gravity-fed systems are straightforward and cost-effective, suitable for simpler applications. In contrast, recirculating systems help maintain ink viscosity and temperature consistency, which is beneficial for longer runs and varying environmental conditions, ensuring consistent print quality throughout the production process.
