High speed inkjet technology manufacturer Colordyne Technologies has opened its new innovation centre in Brookfield, Wisconsin.

The new 1000sqft space showcases the company’s UV and water-based (WB) digital inkjet print engines, the 3800 Series retrofits, and its complete portfolio of process colour inkjet printers.

An open house event will take place in August 2022 where Colordyne will introduce the new 3800 Series WB. The new technology is a process colour, mechanical piezo, water-based inkjet engine built upon the proven engine architecture of Colordyne’s 3800 Series UV. The official launch for the 3800 Series WB will take place later this year.

The fully equipped centre provides current customers, prospects and all visitors access to training, education, application testing and live product demonstrations. The facility highlights Colordyne’s retrofit approach to single pass inkjet and hybrid print production by featuring Colordyne’s 3800 Series process colour UV LED and WB inkjet engines retrofitted onto a standard flexo press.

Taylor Buckthorpe, director of sales and marketing at Colordyne, said, ‘The Inkjet Innovation Center gives Colordyne the opportunity to demonstrate the efficiency, speed and high-quality performance that our inkjet equipment portfolio offers. Our approach to single pass inkjet and hybrid print production leverages the assets converters already own.

‘We now have the space to show our clients how easily they can retrofit process colour inkjet onto their current equipment, leading them to recognise the production cost savings of single pass inkjet or hybrid printing and converting.’
