The same function can also be used for multiple output devices at the same time, calibrating all printers to the same color value, and improving performance, productivity and accuracy.

3. Sheet-fed inkjet printer

1. Fujifilm JetPress 720 inkjet machine

Fujifilm introduced a prototype of single-sheet paper inkjet printing. The size of the machine is 72 cm x 52 cm. It prints 2700 sheets per hour, 180A4 pages per minute, or 10800A4 pages per hour. This machine is used for front printing, so it is necessary to use a stacking table when it is used for reverse printing. The 72 cm wide printhead is manufactured by the Dimatix subsidiary and uses piezoelectric nozzles to print Water-based color ink on paper. Through the 1200dpi physical resolution of the nozzle and three different sizes of ink droplets, the best picture quality can be achieved.

Unlike offset printing, the printed images and text are different. Therefore, the JetPress 720 can be used as a supplement for offset printing plants. The use of variable data printing plants can expand the scope of its production business and can print short-form jobs of less than 2000 sheets. It is reported that the aircraft will go on sale from next summer, with a price of about 1 million US dollars.

2. Screen TruePress Jet SX four-color sheet-fed inkjet machine

The screen company showed four bright products at drupa2008, all related to inkjet technology. First, the screen TruePressJet 520 color web digital printing machine, printing newspapers from various countries on the spot; second, the screen TruePress Jet 2500UV large-scale inkjet printer, printing high-quality, high-precision products on various special materials; third , Screen TruePress Jet 650UV large inkjet printer, mainly used for car dial printing, etc .; Fourth, the world's first color sheetfed digital printing press TruePress Jet SX.

It can use inkjet technology to achieve the production speed of offset presses, that is 1600 sheets per hour, equivalent to 6400A4 pages or 106A4 pages per minute. The size of the machine is 53 cm x 74 cm. The Epson print head with a width of 52 cm is used to print on the front side in a vertical feed. The resolution of the nozzle is 1440 × 720dpi, using water-based pigment ink. Allegedly, the printed sheet is dried immediately after printing on the front side, and can be printed on the reverse side. In the two passes, the first printed sheet has reached the correct ink color, so there will be no waste paper for printing. The aircraft will be available in the summer of 2009, the price has not yet been determined.
