​
​If necessary we work with other local or international companies. With years of experience we know who to contact for specific requirements.  

We design and supply:​

• inkjet ink recirculation systems
• ink supplies
• colour bars
• head positioning systems 
• complete printing modules

Integration Assistance

​Customers benefit from our industrial inkjet integration assistance in many ways.

We offer advice on the customization and integration of inkjet systems for special or innovatory applications.

​Where customers are migrating from traditional printing methods to the latest inkjet technologies, we help to smooth and shorten their transition period.

We offer integration solutions for all kinds of industrial application workflows:

Test Centre

Our inkjet technology centre is equipped with a variety of test equipment that can be used by customers, with or without our technical support. This includes a versatile inkjet press that is designed to allow flexible test set-ups, using top- or side-mounted printheads to print on horizontal substrates or 3D objects. We test inks for compatibility with specific substrates and printheads to obtain the highest print quality. And printhead waveform tuning is another area of our expertise.
