Variable Dot Printing

Variable Dot Printing

TrueVIS resin printers benefit from hundreds of dedicated, media-specific printing profiles that control optimal ink volume and drying temperature. An optimizer prepares the media surface facilitating the formation of precise dots while variable dot control technology fires three types of ink droplets to create unparalleled image quality, producing natural beauty and vividness never before seen in a resin ink printer.

Dual Staggered Printheads Mobile

Dual Staggered Printheads for Resin Inks

Printheads are arranged in a dual, staggered formation with an optimizer printhead that preps the media surface for the CMYK printhead. This enables ink droplets to form a finer dot, resulting in more precise color and images.

Touch Panel Operation Mobile

Touch-Panel Operation

A 7-inch, full-color touch panel with intuitive settings and functions makes print operations simple. Clearly defined icons for set-up, maintenance, print volume, consumables, print status, and more allow for a convenient, streamlined workflow.

High Productivity Dryer Unit Mobile

High-Productivity Dryer Unit

Newly designed drying unit allows prints to dry quickly and completely before proceeding to the next process, saving hours of production time.
