Kyocera Konica Minolta Ricoh

A Modular DOD (Drop‑on‑Demand) inkjet printing system, custom‑built to meet specific production needs. Its modular architecture allows configuring printheads, print widths, ink types, and transport modules according to the customer’s process. DOD technology ensures precise drop placement, high definition, and excellent ink control on different surfaces. Being a customizable system, it adapts to industrial lines, special equipment, or applications that require flexibility, scalability, and direct integration with automation.

 

🔧 Key points that characterize this type of system

  • Modularity — each module (printheads, electronics, transport, curing, software) can be configured, expanded, or replaced according to the application.
  • DOD Technology — drop‑on‑demand printing with precise drop firing, ideal for variable data, codes, personalization, and short or continuous runs.
  • Full customization — the system is designed according to format, speed, material type, and customer requirements.
  • Industrial integration — can be incorporated into production lines, conveyors, feeders, or special machines.
  • Ink flexibility — compatible with water‑based, solvent, or UV inks depending on the chosen printhead.
  • Scalability — allows adding more printheads or modules as demand grows.

Each module depends on the chosen printhead: Kyocera 108mm, Konica Minolta 75mm, and Ricoh 54mm.

Speeds up to 220 meters/minute with low printing cost allow a faster return on investment. All integration of this type of system is developed together with DIS/Monotech.
