Memjet, a specialist in digital inkjet technology, has added just-in-time (JIT) print stream synchronisation capability to its DuraFlex print engine line.

Described by Memjet, the DuraFlex print engine is a powerful, low-cost, compact single-pass print option that delivers full-colour A3 prints at up to 46m/min. It is available in 13in and 25in print width configurations, for simplex or duplex operation with web-fed and sheet-fed devices. The new JIT capability is said to allow OEMs, developing synchronised variable data and personalisation applications, to integrate DuraFlex more easily with other workflows across their operations.

A new read-and-print option for the Kirk-Rudy FireJet4c has been developed by Kirk-Rudy and The Solutions Group for applications such as synchronised direct mail inserts, utilising the new DuraFlex JIT capability.

Caroline Kirk, CEO of Kirk-Rudy, stated, ‘We pride ourselves on delivering solutions that truly move the needle for our customers, and this is one of them. We are thrilled to unlock new potential that will empower users to operate the system with more integrity and reliability than ever before.’

Sam Patel, president of Arrow Systems, commented, ‘For the last four years we have developed the Duraflex line of technology from Memjet enabled with variable-data printing. This latest update will allow this technology to be even more productive for our customers in the labelling and flexible packaging industry. The ability to run custom serial numbers and barcodes, and also to now change them on the fly is a game changer.’

DuraFlex innovation is claimed to bring ‘remarkable’ efficiency gains across markets and has enabled new growth opportunities. Mike Natalizia, CTO of AstroNova, said, ‘Its high-speed capabilities combined with exceptional print quality make it a standout choice for our customers seeking cutting-edge solutions.

‘TrojanLabel T2-Pro, our next-generation inkjet label press, is in final beta testing now, and our customers are looking forward to the commercial launch. It is going to be a great addition to any pressroom with its 13in wide full-colour printing, and variable data capabilities enabled by its data pipeline.’
