Aellora(TM) Digital Introduces SureFire(TM) 65 Digital Print Engines



Highly Dependable DOD Ink Jet Print Engines for UV-Curable White and Other Color Inks

Keene, N.H. (June 8, 2006) -- Aellora(TM) Digital, a MARKEM company providing digital chemistries, drop-on-demand ink jet systems and services for commercial, graphic and other digital printing, imaging and dispensing applications, has introduced its new SureFire(TM) 65 Digital Print Engine for piezo drop-on-demand (DOD) ink jet printing. The SureFire 65 is a fully integrated industrial ink jet print engine for jetting solvent-less, hybrid UV-curable white or color inks, including process and spot colors.

The SureFire 65 prints high resolution images on a wide variety of materials for high productivity in a variety of configurations. It can be configured for mono-color or multi-color printing and can easily be integrated to handle small and large format applications.

"The SureFire 65 is an extremely versatile unit that prints a true 600x600 dpi image at up to 300 square feet per hour," says Mario Carluccio, Business Development Manager for Aellora.

The SureFire was developed for use with Aellora's hybrid UV-curable inks. These inks exhibit high viscosity characteristics at room temperature, but liquefy at elevated temperatures so when the ink drops hit the substrate at room temperature they immediately "freeze" in position and do not require pinning to maintain drop integrity. Unlike traditional ink jet inks, the drop size stays true. Therefore, high resolution images, text and barcodes are possible on the widest variety of substrates, including many papers, plastics, untreated glass, metals, and ceramics. Hybrid inks provide high opacity with a single layer of ink and require only one exposure to UV-energy to cure all ink layers. This reduces costs and increases throughput, helping to make this an economical and efficient printing solution.

Aellora Digital, through its MARKEM heritage in industrial printing solutions, has served the digital printing industry since the early 1980's.
