Drop On Demand Printer (DOD)

KGK’s drop on demand printer (DOD printer) based on the piezoelectric technology is capable to print character height ranging from 1 mm to 130 mm using single head, and up to the maximum of 520 mm using 4 heads.

Commonly called a carton box printer, corrugated box printer or large character inkjet printer, the KGK DOD printer is an industry leader in this market segment, enjoying 80% market share in the DOD printer segment in Japan.

The DOD printer is ideal for printing on porous materials such as secondary and tertiary cartons. The use of piezo drop on demand printer technology helps achieve high-quality printing of up to 600 DPI and is ideal for large character inkjet printing.

The high-end models of KGK DOD printer can be completely customised as per specific needs and requirements.

What are the Advantages of
KGK Drop-On-Demand Printers?

High Resolution in Print
The main advantage of a KGK DOD printer is the high resolution with clarity of 600 DPI. The KGK Jet software lets the DOD printer to direct the head to release droplets only on demand.

Using the high precision micro-processing technology of KGK Jet enables printers to create extremely fine droplet sizes. Compact devise size is achieved due to high nozzle density and droplets are discharged at high pressure. This makes the KGK DOD printer an excellent high resolution printer.

Based on customer’s requirements on the height to be printed, a suitable head can be selected. As need be, heads can be combined together to achieve different heights up to a maximum of 520 mm.

Ink

Traditional water-based ink often causes unsatisfactory print quality when printer resumes printing even after pausing for a few minutes. This results in production and ink losses.

KGK’s in-house ink development innovates to create unique inks in response to various needs of the market. Customers can choose from a wide variety of carton box printer inks (oil based inks) which do not block the nozzle and thus achieving high-resolution prints from the first print to the last run.

Compact Size and Ergonomic Features

KGK’s DOD printers are compact in size and ergonomic to operate. The unique touch panel helps users to input data and make changes easily.

Thermal Inkjet Printer (TIJ)

Thermal Inkjet Printers (TIJ) use heat instead of piezo crystal technology. Intense heat is created in the head, which vaporises the ink to create a bubble that expands so rapidly to force ink from the print head to the substrate. Thermal inkjet printers do not have a warm-up or cool-down cycle. Hence, thermal inkjet printers are always ready to use.

What are the Advantages of
KGK Jet Thermal Inkjet Printers?

Maintenance Free
KGK Jet thermal inkjet printers require minimal maintenance because there is no pump and no moving parts. The print head requires only occasional cleaning.

High Resolution
KGK Jet thermal inkjet printers deliver high-resolution prints of up to 600 DPI. There is no possibility of cartridge leaking because the ink and print head are housed in the same cartridge.

Cost-Effective
KGK Jet thermal inkjet printers use patented HP cartridges. KGK unique TIJ technology for thermal inkjet printers provide error-free prints with maximum uptime and reduce cost as compared with other printers. 

Increased Height of the Print
We can achieve an increase in print height by stitching together multiple print heads. KGK thermal inkjet printer can print character heights of up to 49.5 mm with 4 heads stitched together.

Compact Size and Ergonomic Features
KGK thermal inkjet printers are rugged in construction, easy to operate and maintain. A 5.7-inch touch-screen panel helps user’s input, view and make changes easily to the thermal inkjet printer settings.
