Domino Launches Compact Monochrome Inkjet Printer at Labelexpo

Domino Printing Sciences announces the launch of a new, compact monochrome inkjet printer, the K300, at Labelexpo Americas. Building on the success of Domino’s K600i print bar, the K300 has been developed as a compact, flexible solution for converters looking to add variable data printing capabilities to analog printing lines.

The K300 monochrome inkjet printer will be on display at the Domino stand, booth 5821, at Labelexpo Americas from Sept. 10-12, 2024. The printer will form part of a code printing and verification solution, including automated machine vision from Domino Group Company Lake Image Systems.

“The industry move to 2D codes at the point of sale has led to an increase in demand for variable data printing, with many brands looking to incorporate complex 2D codes, such as QR codes powered by GS1, into their packaging and label designs,” said Alex Mountis, senior product manager at Domino. “Packaging and label converters need a versatile, reliable, and compact digital printing solution to respond to these evolving market demands. We have developed the K300 with these variable data and 2D code printing opportunities in mind.”

The K300 monochrome inkjet printer can be incorporated into analog printing lines to customize printed labels with variable data, such as best before dates, batch codes, serialized numbers, and 2D codes.

Operating at high speeds up to 250m/820′ per minute, the K300 monochrome inkjet printer has been designed to match flexographic printing speeds. This means there is no need to slow down the line when adding variable data.

“The K300 will open up new opportunities for converters. They can support their brand customers with variable data 2D codes, enabling supply chain traceability, anti-counterfeiting, and consumer engagement campaigns,” added Mountis. “The versatile printer can also print variable data onto labels, cartons, and flatpack packaging as part of an inline or near-line late-stage customization process in a manufacturing facility, lowering inventory costs and reducing waste.”
