Core Features


  • Seamless Retrofit Integration: Designed to integrate directly onto existing flexographic or analog presses without loss of functionality.
  • High-Speed Digital Output: Achieves print speeds up to 246 ft/min (75 m/min) for continuous, high-volume label production.
  • Versatile Print Width Options: Available in 4.25" (108 mm), 8.5" (216 mm), 12.75" (324 mm), and 17" (432 mm) print widths.
  • UV-LED Inkjet Technology: Provides instant curing, enhanced durability, and compatibility with a wide range of substrates.
  • Up to Seven-Color Printing: Supports CMYK, OGV, Spot, and White, enabling an extended color gamut and brand consistency.
  • Hybrid Workflow Capability: Combines flexo and digital processes for maximum production flexibility.
  • Custom Ink Chemistry: Tailored formulations for optimal adhesion and performance on complex materials.


Benefits


  • Cost-Effective Modernization: Enter digital and hybrid printing without the high capital cost of a standalone digital press.
  • Leverage Existing Investments: Continue using your existing dies, tooling, and accessories — no need to reinvest.
  • Flexible Production: Switch seamlessly between flexo, digital, or hybrid modes for any job type or run length.
  • Enhanced Print Quality: Achieve 600 × 600 dpi image precision with sharp text and vivid colors.
  • Reduced Downtime and Waste: Produce more jobs per shift with single-pass converting and instant curing.
  • Operator Familiarity: No extensive retraining is required — operators can continue to run the same press with added digital functionality.


Ideal Applications


  • Labels and Flexible Packaging require short-to-mid-run digital jobs or versioned designs.
  • Brand-rich markets such as beverages, cosmetics, chemicals, and specialty foods.
  • Hybrid Production Environments seeking to combine digital variability with flexographic finishing.
  • Pressrooms aiming to increase profitability through faster changeovers and minimal waste.


Operational Advantages


By retrofitting a Colordyne UV-LED inkjet engine, converters can prime, print, varnish, laminate, and die-cut in one single pass, dramatically improving workflow efficiency. This solution enables faster turnaround, improved color consistency, and better substrate adaptability — all while maintaining the reliability and mechanical performance of your current press. Colordyne’s collaborative approach ensures a customized integration aligned with your specific production requirements.
