Memjet said its OEM partner, Rigoli s.r.l., launched the Rigoli MVZ: the first roll-to-roll, wide format, inkjet printer powered by Memjet and designed for flexible packaging applications. This new, low-cost solution enables users to produce the colorful, low- to middle-run lengths of customized flexible packaging that are in demand in today’s market. Rigoli will be demonstrating the printer and showcasing customized packaging at the upcoming IPACK-IMA 2018, which will take place between May 29-June 1, 2018, in Milan, Italy.
“As brands bring an ever-increasing number of SKUs to market, packaging production has struggled to keep pace,” said Kevin Shimamoto, chief marketing officer at Memjet. “All too often, package printing solutions lack the quality, flexibility and affordability needed to make on-demand, short-run and late-stage customized packaging a reality. The Rigoli MVZ product family marks a dramatic shift in that paradigm, making it faster, easier and cost-effective for companies of all sizes to make flexible packaging part of their operation.”
Zsolt Tarjanyi, managing director of Rigoli s.r.l, added: “As the packaging market addresses an increasing demand for varying branding, messaging, sizes and shapes, the MVZ delivers. It has the speed, image quality, reliability and affordability that users demand—and only Memjet technology can provide.”
The Rigoli MVZ1000 can support media widths of up to 1,067 mm. The printer includes an industrial unwinder and rewinder that can accommodate jumbo rolls. The rewinding options are printed side up or printed side down. The MVZ printers can also be equipped with a buffering unit that allows them to be installed in-line with other finishing equipment, including: cutting, and laminating systems, as well as filling equipment. This in-line setup saves time and unnecessary steps in the production process.
Powered by Memjet’s single pass wide format technology, the solution produces 1600x1600 dpi printing resolution at 9 m/min speed, or 1600x800 dpi at 18 m/min speed.
