Dantex launches high opacity inkjet white

Dantex has launched SuperWhite, a new technology developed for PicoJet 330 & 254 presses, capable of producing white ink opacity between 86 and 92 percent in a single pass at 75m/min (250ft/min).

According to Dantex, the SuperWhite is the highest opacity high-speed inkjet white available on the market. Developed by the Dantex Advance Engineering team, it offers a high-performance white ink option essential for detailed and vibrant print on a wide range of substrates, such as coated and uncoated papers, foil, PVC, polypropylene, and polyethylene. 

SuperWhite ink opacity is consistent throughout the production run, even at 75m/minute, as the print heads deliver a precise and measured amount of ink across and down the web with no variables.

The technology has enabled Dantex to develop DecoTactile, which is used to create a wide range of high-quality textured effects and embellishments and brings enhanced detail and vibrancy to the print. Embellishments include raised tactile textures and effects and high build print, giving an embossed effect to areas of print such as text with a durable and high-quality finish.

Dantex’s inter-color pinning technology is instrumental to the quality of SuperWhite and DecoTactile. During the printing process LED pinning light is used to stop the ink droplet from spreading. This offers a defined dot shape and allows the following inks to sit on top of the white without intermixing. LED pinning additionally improves fine text, line work, and reversed out solids with no trapping or reticulation issues. 

‘Dantex has brought together three different technological aspects in PicoJet, commented Benjamin Danon, CEO of Dantex Group. ‘Our SuperWhite and inter-color pinning technology, combined to create DecoTactile, makes PicoJet an exceptionally cost effective and highly profitable purchase. Pico equipment offers exceptional print quality, and we are seeing fantastic feedback from our customers. Indeed, the advancements being developed by our digital team are helping to establish Dantex as a leading manufacturer of high-quality digital printing press technology.'
