Customized CE Certified Machine Using UV Ink: Configuring the Right Goking Press

A customized ce certified machine using uv ink lets converters match printhead technology, print width, resolution, and architecture to their exact substrate mix and line layout. Goking builds configurable digital printing machines across three architectures — J-series multi-pass, G-series single-pass, and GJ-series 2-in-1 — with printhead options from Epson, Xaar, and Seiko, print widths from 200 to 1,800 mm, and resolution choices of 600 or 1,200 DPI. This guide walks through every configurable dimension so you can specify a press that fits your production reality rather than adapting your process to a standard model.

A customized ce certified machine using uv ink can be configured across seven dimensions: printhead brand and head count, print width, resolution (DPI), printing architecture, color configuration, substrate handling, and line-linkage with ERP. Goking's in-house design and development department owns each of these, so changes stay within one engineering team rather than being outsourced to third-party integrators who do not control the firmware or the frame.

The table below maps each dimension to the options Goking offers. The rest of this guide explains how to choose between them based on your substrate, run length, and downstream equipment.

The printhead is the core of any digital press, and the right choice depends on your resolution target, throughput, and substrate. Goking offers all three major brands, so the recommendation follows your application rather than the supplier's inventory. Browse the printhead overview for a side-by-side comparison.

These specs let you trade off between drop-volume range (coverage versus fine detail), nozzle count (throughput), and jetting frequency (speed). A common challenge in corrugated printing is hitting solid opaque white on kraft board without slowing the line — the wider drop-volume Xaar variants address exactly that. Discuss your priority with the engineering team so the head and waveform selection matches your substrate.

Print width ranges from 200 mm to 1,800 mm. A common challenge in corrugated printing is matching width to your board size while leaving margin for registration. Customizing width avoids paying for unused capacity, or worse, being unable to fit your largest substrate. Narrow widths suit carton and label work; the upper end handles wide corrugated sheets in a single pass.

Resolution choices are 600 DPI and 1,200 DPI. The trade-off is between image sharpness and throughput:

• 600 DPI — volume corrugated where line speed matters more than fine detail. Pair with single-pass for continuous output. See the multi-pass DPI 600 and 2-in-1 DPI 600 models.
• 1200 DPI — high-detail gift boxes, retail packaging, and variable data where text and gradients must stay crisp. See the multi-pass DPI 1200 and 2-in-1 DPI 1200 models.

Because Goking controls the printhead count and the firmware, the DPI choice is not a separate machine — it is a configuration within the same architecture, which keeps spare parts and service consistent across your plant.

Architecture is the highest-level customization choice because it defines how the machine fits your run-length profile. Goking offers three:

A common pain point is a plant that buys a single-pass press for volume, then loses margin on short-run custom work because changeover is uneconomic — or buys multi-pass for flexibility and cannot keep up with volume peaks. The 2-in-1 architecture exists to remove that forced choice.

The five-color CMYKW configuration adds opaque white to CMYK. White is essential on kraft paper, colored board, and metallic substrates where a white underbase is required before CMYK lays down accurate color. Without white, cyan, magenta, and yellow simply disappear into brown kraft or shift on colored stock.

Goking's five-color options cover both major printhead families:

• J-series five-color multi-pass — Epson printheads, CMYKW.
• GJ-series 2-in-1 five-color — combines architecture flexibility with white ink.

CMYK computer color matching removes manual ink mixing, so color stays consistent across job changeovers. This is part of the core key features set: plate-less printing, one-minute changeover, CMYK computer color matching, line-linkage + ERP, and eco-friendly low power consumption.

A customized ce certified machine using uv ink should fit your line, not force your line to fit it. Goking machines support linkage with downstream slotting, die-cutting, and stacking units, and connect to factory ERP for order management and production tracking. The machine's conveyor speed can be matched to downstream equipment, and the printhead cycle start can be triggered by an external signal so the printer synchronizes with the feeder rather than running on an isolated timer.

Integration questions to resolve during specification:

• What is the target line speed, and does single-pass (45–110 m/min) or multi-pass (500–1,500 m/h) match your downstream bottleneck?
• Which industrial communication protocol does your existing line use, and can the printer's controller join it?
• How should the ERP push job files and pull production counts — and does the machine's software support that handshake?
• What is the maximum substrate width your feeder and stacker accept, so the 200–1,800 mm print width is set accordingly?

Goking's OEM/ODM services and service and support team handle integration as part of commissioning, so the press works within your production environment from day one rather than after weeks of debugging.

What can be customized on a customized ce certified machine using uv ink?

Printhead brand and count, print width (200–1,800 mm), DPI (600/1,200), architecture (multi-pass/single-pass/2-in-1), color (CMYK or five-color CMYKW), substrate handling, and line-linkage with ERP. All seven dimensions are owned by Goking's in-house engineering team.

Which printhead should I choose?

Epson for high resolution (600/1200 DPI) and five-color CMYKW with up to 32 heads; Xaar for rugged production with flexible drop volume (up to 25–215 pl) and a wide nozzle count; Seiko for wide-format single-color work up to 1,800 mm. The right answer depends on your substrate and run length.

Can I get both multi-pass and single-pass in one machine?

Yes. The GJ-series 2-in-1 combines both architectures on one platform, covering the multi-pass speed range (500–1,500 m/h) and the single-pass range (45–110 m/min).

Does Goking handle ERP integration?

Yes. Machines support line-linkage with downstream equipment and ERP connection for order management and production tracking, configured during commissioning by the service and support team.

What substrates are supported?

A, B, C, E flute corrugated board, honeycomb board, coated paper, and kraft paper. Five-color CMYKW is recommended for kraft and colored substrates where an opaque white underbase is required.

How does the customization process work?

It starts with a specification conversation: you share your substrate list, target run lengths, line speed, and downstream equipment, and the engineering team maps that to a printhead, head count, width, DPI, architecture, and color configuration. The design and development department then documents the configuration, the 10,000 m² Dongguan facility builds and tests it, and the service team commissions it against your line and ERP. Because every dimension is owned in-house, changes do not require coordinating multiple vendors — one engineering team carries the configuration from spec to commissioning.

A customized ce certified machine using uv ink only delivers value when every dimension — printhead, width, DPI, architecture, color, and integration — is matched to your production reality. Explore the full product range or start a configuration conversation through our OEM/ODM services.
