Omet confirms availability of JetPlus digital inkjet unit

JetPlus was first shown at drupa 2012 and is the result of cooperation with Domino, provider of the inkjet module, and the work of Omet’s own research and development team that is responsible for its integration into Omet presses.

Omet said digital inkjet is the latest addition to its range of technologies available for in-line applications, and has been designed to suit the efficiency requirements of short-run printing and just-in-time deliveries. JetPlus allows printing and die-cutting at an average speed of 60m/min using Monotwin Cut, the die-cutting system patented by Omet. In case of variation of the die-cutting shape, the change is carried out rapidly with no need to neither replace the magnetic cylinder nor adjust the die-cutting unit since pre-register settings are automatic with respect both to digital or flexo. Monotwin Cut is equipped with standard gap-master to promote a longer and better use of dies.

Omet added that JetPlus is another important element of its multi-technology, multi-substrate, multi-application machine offering, with digital inkjet fitting into Omet’s in-line printing, converting, finishing and delivery package for all-in-one, single-pass production.

For example, on the same press line it is possible to add flexo and offset groups for the printing of Pantones and solids, digital for CMYK or Pantone printing, cold and hot foil, screen printing for special effects, UV lamination when needed, die-cutting and embossing.

Marco Calcagni, sales and marketing director of Omet, said: ‘JetPlus is, for converters, a flexible, economic, compact solution capable of delivering in one stop the upmost quality, the highest productivity and increased savings of time and waste.

‘Such a technology was still missing in the market and we are confident that converters will take the challenge of all-in-one pass production to improve their efficiency on small to long runs.’
