Memjet has announced that Monotech Systems, a developer of printing solutions based in Chennai, Tamil Nadu India, has used Memjet’s DuraFlex technology to create the Jetsci ColorAqua hybrid label printing press. This product gives printers in India an economical way to produce high-quality labels and expand their product offerings.

Monotech Systems will be showcasing the new printer at Pamex 2020, taking place January 6-9, 2020, at the Bombay Exhibition Center in Mumbai.

For more than 20 years, Monotech Systems has been innovating and providing print technology solutions to the Indian graphic arts, label and packaging industries. In that time, the company has developed a range of products to meet the changing requirements of its customers.

The Jetsci ColorAqua hybrid label printing press enables printers to meet the demands of modern label production. In addition to its economical cost, the printer produces 1600 x 1600 dpi and runs at speeds of up to 45 m/m. Together, these features enable label printers to expand into digital printing and offer services like CMYK full color printing, microtext, variable data and security printing.

Jetsci ColorAqua uses Memjet’s DuraFlex’s aqueous pigment inks that are lightfast, water durable and scratch resistant. The hybrid press can print on most general coated and uncoated labelstock materials without primers and can also print on many films and substrates by applying primers.

“DuraFlex technology has the features and functionality we needed to rapidly develop our latest printer,” says T.P. Jain, managing director, Monotech Systems. “DuraFlex’s modularity, ease of integration, small footprint and affordable cost ensured we could quickly develop the ColorAqua, while the high print quality, speeds and productivity of DuraFlex will make the printer — and our customers — successful. We are very pleased to launch ColorAqua with Memjet DuraFlex technology and to provide customers with an entry-level digital printer that can scale up very quickly.”

Released last September, Memjet’s DuraFlex technology is being adopted by OEM partners around the world.

“Working with a professional company such as Monotech has been a pleasure, and with their leadership in the Indian market for inkjet solutions, we could not have found a better partner to bring our pigmented inkjet technology to the market. We have great expectations for the Indian printing industry, not just limited to labels, and look forward to a long relationship with Monotech,” says Bent Serritslev, senior vice president, business development, APAC at Memjet.
