Memjet introduces DuraCore print engine

Memjet has launched DuraCore Print Engine, a cost-effective, scalable print technology developed to deliver high print quality and help OEMs enter new markets.

The DuraCore produces full-bleed CMYK color for sheet-fed, web-fed, simplex and duplex printing across various applications.

Sunil Gupta, chief executive officer of Memjet, said: ‘We’ve listened to the market and come back with a printing solution that strikes at the core needs of our OEM partners: to deliver outstanding quality and reliability at a cost base that supports strong ROI. DuraCore is a versatile technology that combines precision with profitability.’

DuraCore offers OEMs and print providers a print engine that offers an attractive capital investment profile and total cost of ownership. It can be retrofitted into existing systems for maximum versatility and ROI.

Jason Thelander, chief technology officer at Memjet, added: ‘We’ve engineered DuraCore to provide OEMs with a robust, economical print engine that delivers the hallmark Memjet print quality. We’ve equipped it with advanced features like intelligent print head control, precise ink delivery systems, and optimized print algorithms to maximize productivity and minimize waste.’

The new technology is available as a 1x1 print engine, which contains one high-performance, 12.77in Thunderbolt printhead or a Tandem print engine housing two Thunderbolt printheads for increased speed.

DuraCore Tandem can reach speeds of up to 450 ft/min (137 m/min). Each printhead can jet 150 or 240 liters of ink, and nozzle redundancy varies from 2x to 4x redundancy per color for enhanced performance.

DuraCore supports a digital front end for easy integration into existing systems. Compatibility with a configurable Xitron RIP and Navigator controller allows for streamlined interaction between the print engine and all aspects of the printing process.

‘Sophisticated data processing is essential to high-end print solutions,’ said Thelander. ‘DuraCore’s is customized to fit the Navigator controller, which provides seamless integration, reducing development costs and expediting commercialization.’

 DuraCore is engineered with the ModBus architecture that enables OEMs to design and configure new printing systems without extensive R&D. The print engine is easily reconfigured to serve multiple applications, markets, and price points, providing unparalleled flexibility for OEMs.

DuraCore is suitable for high-quality printing across various applications, including books, manuals, promotional materials, envelopes, direct mail, transactional and security printing, identification, commercial printing, and packaging applications such as labels and folding cartons.
