How an Energy-Efficient Digital Printing Machine Cuts Power Use During Long Production Runs
An energy-efficient digital printing machine cuts power use during long runs through design, not just components: no plate-making equipment to run, instant-cure ink that eliminates drying energy, low-power motors sized to the job, and smart standby behavior when the press is between jobs.

What Can a Digital Printer with Epson Nozzle Do for Five-Color CMYK + White Packaging?
A digital printer with Epson nozzle prints full-color packaging in CMYK plus white at 600 or 1200 DPI, using 8 to 32 printheads to cover widths from 264 mm up to 525 mm — and in single-pass form it reaches 45–110 m/min for high-volume lines.

Why Colors Look Dull on Kraft Paper — and How a Digital Printer for Kraft Paper with White Ink Fixes It
Colors look dull on kraft paper because the brown fibers absorb light and tint every ink printed on top — and the fix is a digital printer for kraft paper with a white ink channel, which lays an opaque white base first so the CMYK colors sit on white instead of brown.
