Customized Single Pass and Multi-Pass 2-in-1 Digital Print Machine: Built for Your Production Line
Every printing operation has unique requirements, and a customized single pass and multi-pass 2-in-1 digital print machine from Goking's GJ series is designed to match those requirements precisely. Manufactured in a 10,000-square-meter facility in Dongguan Huangjiang, China, the GJ series offers configurable printhead platforms, adjustable print widths from 200 to 1800mm, and dual-mode operation that combines single-pass speeds of 45 to 110 meters per minute with multi-pass precision at 500 to 1,500 meters per hour. This is plateless, direct digital printing with zero plate cost and a one-minute changeover between jobs.
Customization extends beyond speed and width. The GJ series supports three printhead platforms, two ink systems, and multiple color configurations, allowing each machine to be tailored to the specific substrates, production volumes, and quality standards of the buyer. Whether the application is kraft paper packaging, corrugated board, coated paper, cardboard, or gift box printing, the machine configuration adapts to the material and the market.
Why Customization Determines Production Success
A packaging converter specializing in high-volume corrugated board has different needs from a gift box producer focused on short-run, high-resolution work. A one-size-fits-all approach forces compromises that reduce efficiency and quality. By offering a customized single pass and multi-pass 2-in-1 digital print machine, Goking ensures that each buyer receives a system optimized for their specific product mix, substrate range, and throughput targets.
Customization also future-proofs the investment. As a business grows or diversifies into new materials and markets, a properly configured GJ series machine can accommodate changing demands without requiring replacement. The dual-mode design means the same machine handles both the high-volume orders that drive revenue and the short-run sampling work that wins new business.
Customized Single Pass and Multi-Pass 2-in-1 Digital Print Machine: Configuring the Right Printhead Platform
The GJ series offers three printhead platforms, each with distinct characteristics suited to different applications:
| Printhead Platform | Head Count | Resolution | Color Configuration | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Epson | 8 to 32 heads | 600 / 1200 DPI | CMYKW (5-color) | Fine detail, photographic quality |
| Xaar | 6 to 12 heads | Industrial grade | 5-color | Rugged industrial environments |
| Seiko | 4 to 18 heads | High-speed | Monochrome | High-speed single-color packaging |
The Epson platform, with its 600 and 1200 DPI resolution and CMYKW five-color capability, is ideal for operations where print quality and color fidelity are paramount. The Xaar platform provides durable performance in demanding industrial settings. The Seiko monochrome platform excels in high-speed single-color applications such as coding and marking on packaging. Detailed specifications are available on the Epson series page and the Xaar product page.
Print Width and Material Configuration
Print width on the GJ series ranges from 200mm to 1800mm, accommodating narrow web applications such as labels and tags through wide format corrugated board printing. The width configuration is selected based on the primary substrates the operation processes. A gift box manufacturer may require a narrower configuration optimized for precision, while a corrugated board converter needs the maximum width to handle full sheets efficiently.
Material compatibility extends across kraft paper, corrugated board, coated paper, cardboard, and gift box substrates. The machine handles these materials without mechanical changes, and the ink system is selected based on substrate requirements. UV ink provides excellent adhesion and durability on non-porous surfaces, while water-based ink is suited for absorbent materials like kraft paper and corrugated board. Both ink systems are CE certified.
OEM and ODM Customization Capabilities
Beyond the standard configuration options, Goking offers OEM and ODM services for buyers who require further customization. This includes custom branding, modified machine dimensions to fit specific facility constraints, specialized ink formulations for unique substrates, and integration with existing production lines and ERP systems. The 10,000-square-meter Dongguan manufacturing facility provides the production capacity and engineering resources to support these custom requirements.
Inline finishing capabilities can be integrated into the machine configuration, allowing processes such as cutting, creasing, and folding to occur immediately after printing. This eliminates the need for separate finishing equipment and reduces material handling between stages. ERP integration ensures that job orders, production data, and quality metrics flow seamlessly between the printing operation and the broader manufacturing management system. Learn more about these capabilities on the OEM/ODM services page.
Selecting the Right Configuration
Configuring a customized single pass and multi-pass 2-in-1 digital print machine begins with a clear understanding of the production requirements. Key factors include the primary substrates, typical run lengths, required print quality, production volume targets, available facility space, and integration needs with existing equipment. The dual-mode design of the GJ series means that both high-volume and short-run capabilities are available regardless of the specific configuration, but the printhead platform, width, and ink system should be selected to match the dominant application.
For operations primarily producing high-resolution gift boxes and retail packaging, the Epson platform with CMYKW five-color configuration at 1200 DPI delivers the color depth and detail that premium applications demand. For industrial packaging on corrugated board, the Xaar platform provides the durability and reliability needed for continuous production. For high-speed coding and single-color printing on kraft or corrugated materials, the Seiko monochrome platform offers optimal throughput.
The ability to customize every aspect of the machine, from printhead count and platform to print width and ink system, ensures that the investment is aligned with the business strategy. A customized single pass and multi-pass 2-in-1 digital print machine from Goking provides exactly the capabilities needed, without paying for features that will not be used or compromising on performance in critical areas.

Beyond printhead and ink selection, Goking offers additional customization options including substrate-specific media transport configurations, custom print width increments aligned with regional sheet-size standards, and inline finishing module configurations (slotting, creasing, or cutting) that match the converter's downstream workflow. The control system can be configured with multilingual user interfaces, and ERP integration protocols are adapted to the facility's existing production management software during commissioning. This level of configurability means the GJ series arrives on-site as a production-ready platform, not a generic machine that requires extensive post-installation modification.
