Dantex has announced the new launch of SuperWhite technology on PicoJet 330 and 254. This latest product from the Dantex Advance Engineering team is capable of producing white ink opacity between 86% and 92% in a single pass at 250 fpm (75 m/m), making it the highest opacity high-speed inkjet white available on the market, the company says.

SuperWhite combines Dantex’s ink technology, engineering and software expertise to provide a 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. This latest technology offers a pure, high white, which prints consistently and evenly and offers excellent adhesion and chemical/light resistance properties with a superb quality finish. SuperWhite ink opacity is consistent throughout the production run, even at 75 m/m, as the printheads deliver an accurate and measured amount of ink across and down the web with no variables.

SuperWhite 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 for the following inks to sit on top of the white, without intermixing. Color is better defined, allowing also for enhanced quality printing of solid areas. LED pinning additionally improves fine text, line work and reversed out solids with no trapping or reticulation issues.

Commenting on this latest innovation CEO of Dantex Group, Benjamin Danon, says, “Dantex has brought together three different technological aspects in PicoJet. 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.”
