Australia-based Advanced Inkjet Technology (AIT) has launched its SquidJet digital press. Built around a modular platform, the machine contains a 4-color digital print unit based on 1001 print heads from Xaar.


The press is being built by New South Wales-based Rapid Machinery, while AIT, which represents Ixpressia’s inkjet software in the region, is marketing the product.


The SquidJet is available in various web widths and a range of optional modules, including UV flexo stations, die cutting, hot foil stamping, laminating, RFID insertion, slitting, rewinding, sheeting and more. The Xaar print heads can print 960 dpi at 40 meters a minute. The machine is controlled by Print Engine software developed for AIT by Ixpressia.


The company says the machine is a ‘true digital press, not a printer, because there’s no need to print digitally and then finish off line’.
