Speed and Precision: ArrowJet Aqua 330R & Taurus
At the heart of the EDC's offerings are the latest machines, designed to work seamlessly together to deliver exceptional results. Among these is the ArrowJet Aqua 330R; a compact, high-speed, high-resolution aqueous inkjet printer. With a compact footprint of less than 2 meters, this powerful and intuitive roll-to-roll printer is capable of printing 1600x1600 dpi at 60 meters per minute in perfect quality. In fact, although the printer is capable of hosting NIR drying modules, the quality of its productions render this feature as optional. From start to finish, the printer is regulated through automatic tension control and is equipped with an intuitive RIP software compatible with its CCD cameras, top-quality pneumatic shafts, and a Memjet DuraFlex® printhead.
To complete this process, we introduce the Taurus Laser Finishing System, a state-of-the-art machine capable of rapid cutting of complex shapes and patterns with its laser, as well as engraving designs and creating perforations in any given shape. This spectacular machine has a top cutting speed of 70 meters per minute, with its highly intelligent software providing all information related to the job in a matter of seconds. The Taurus finisher is capable of providing the range of cutting speed based on its automatic detection of both the cut shape, and the media/material of the label. Accordingly, users are able to choose the speed at which they wish to cut their labels through the operator-friendly, responsive touchscreen built into the machine. The full description of this product can be found on the Taurus product page in the Katun DPS™ website, including the product brochure, videos, and images. For a more detailed explanation on how it works, check out this Taurus YouTube video to see it in action at Drupa 2024.
Once combined, these machines provide the ultimate speed bundle. The ArrowJet Aqua 330+ is known for its superior print quality and speed, making it ideal for high-demand environments where time and accuracy are crucial. When paired with the Taurus laser finisher, the output is not only fast but also finished to perfection, making this duo a preferred choice for businesses looking to optimize their production lines. This speed bundle is one of the most competitive in the market, with its setup ensuring that the printing and finishing processes are synchronized, downtime reduced, and providing efficiency and precision that are unmatched.
Affordable Finishing Solutions: ArrowJet Aqua 330R & Arrow EZcut 350R+
In addition to high-end solutions, Katun Digital Printing Solutions recognizes the need for affordable alternatives that do not compromise on quality. For that reason, we propose another combination with the ArrowJet Aqua 330R. The Arrow EZcut 350R+, when paired with the ArrowJet Aqua 330R, is an excellent example of a cost-effective finishing solution. This combination offers significant price advantages, with the Arrow EZcut 350R+ available at a third of the price of the Taurus finisher. Despite the lower investment, this setup delivers reliable performance, making it an attractive option for businesses looking to enter the market or expand their capabilities without a large financial outlay.
The Arrow EZcut 350R+ is particularly notable for its versatility and ease of use, allowing businesses to achieve high-quality finishes on a variety of materials. This makes it a popular choice among small to medium-sized enterprises that need flexibility without sacrificing efficiency. The finisher features an industrial build capable of hosting up to 6 blades to meet the efficiency standards of especially wider rolls or thinner labels. The finishing system also handles inline lamination for an extra protection and glossy effect of labels and includes a built-in screen. Its CCD camera is also a renowned feature, capable of automatically detecting cut marks, reading numbers of jobs, and even QR codes. The intelligent software controls the cutting heads and lines, automatically adjusting the distance between them to ensure maximum production speed and accuracy.
Due to its industrial build, the Arrow EZcut 350R+ is an ideal pair for most larger production systems with medium-long runs. Its attractive and competitive pricing, versatile media handling, and high-quality production make it the perfect addition to your assembly line. More information about this finisher is available in its product page, including images and the product brochure, while a video of it in action, as well as an Arrow EZcut 350R+ explainer video for how it works are available on the company’s YouTube channel.
Versatile, Cost-Effective Combinations: Cobra Print 330 & Arrow EZcut 330R+
For businesses seeking a low-cost investment with high versatility, the combination of the Cobra Print 330 printer and the Arrow EZcut 330R+ finisher is an ideal solution. The Cobra Print 330 is known for its flexibility as it leverages 5-colour toner to print in CMYK and high-density white. While it is capable of handling five colors, its attractive price makes it perfect for starring in our economic bundle. The cost-effective combination matches the Cobra Print 330 with the Arrow EZcut 330R+, as the combination are seamlessly compatible, making them a perfect match in terms of production speed and efficiency.
The Arrow EZcut 330R+, touted as the lowest cost finisher in the market, offers excellent value for money. The double-blade finisher excels at meeting versatile demands and frequent job changes. Its ability to deliver precise cuts and finishes at a fraction of the cost of other finishers makes it a compelling option for businesses that need high-quality output on a budget.
