3800 SERIES WB -
RETROFIT
Digital Hybrid Water-Based Inkjet Printer
Add Process Color to Your Existing Equipment with Water-Based Inkjet
Colordyne’s 3800 Series WB is an inkjet print engine employing a water-based mechanical piezo printhead to produce 600×600 dpi quality at speeds up to 300 fpm. The water base print engine is designed for digital printing on labels, flexible film packaging and other porous or non-porous substrates. Flexible in design, the 3800 Series WB is offered in print width configurations ranging from 4.25 to 17 inches and supports up to 7 colors in the process direction.
SINGLE PASS HYBRID PRINTING
Sustainability & Superior Performance
The advantages of this low-migration inkjet engine make it the best ink option for printers of food packaging and pharmaceutical packaging. The 3800 Series WB leverages Kao’s LUNAJET proprietary nanodispersion ink technology which increases pigment concentration so the ink can spread evenly over the surface. This process also reduces the amount of ink on the material surface, which allows for exceptionally fast drying and smooth, superior printing results with vibrant colors.
In addition to being safe for food packaging, the eco-friendly LUNAJET ink releases extremely low amounts of volatile organic compounds emissions (VOCs), which significantly lowers its impact on workspaces and the environment.
