Fiery and INKJ sign partnership agreement to drive industrial print

Fiery, the print industry’s leading innovator of digital front ends (DFEs) and workflow software, and Shandong INKJ Digital Technology (INKJ), have announced that they have signed an agreement under which INKJ will offer Fiery Impress with their industrial presses around the world.

Fiery Impress is an award-winning turnkey DFE software solution for industrial print applications like packaging, print-on-demand, and labelling. Combining the streaming speeds, image quality, brand colour accuracy, and automation that print service providers need in an easily integrated platform, Fiery Impress offers a cost-effective DFE solution for industrial inkjet press manufacturers to bring new industrial presses to market as quickly as possible.

“Fiery Impress is a game-changer for digital industrial print,” said Toby Weiss, CEO, Fiery. “Industrial applications like packaging and labelling have a wide range of requirements, from brand colours to variable data. With Fiery Impress, industrial press manufacturers no longer need to spend the time and resources developing their DFEs, making complex integration and long time-to-market a thing of the past. We’re proud to sign an agreement with INKJ, to offer Fiery Impress, and we look forward to providing the industrial print market, both in China and worldwide, with the print industry’s best DFE solutions.”

“INKJ has become the ‘new force’ in the research and development, sales, and after-sales services of high-speed inkjet presses in China. We have developed a variety of high-speed inkjet industrial printing equipment in different colors and widths, which have attracted great attention both in China and around the world. We are honored to sign this agreement with world-leading DFE innovator Fiery, and believe this is a very valuable collaboration. We will unveil high-speed inkjet industrial printing equipment equipped with Fiery Impress in China, and we look forward to a fruitful collaboration that will enrich the digital industrial print market in China and beyond,” said Tan Ming, general manager, INKJ.

Fiery Impress features

• High-performance processing power feeds streaming data directly to printhead electronics to keep press running at rated speeds – even for complex VDP applications.
• Fully integrated Fiery colour management delivers exceptional, consistent colour across substrates, and enables operators to easily fine-tune spot colours.
• Advanced automation capabilities allow operators to maintain production uptime and output quality, printing files right the first time with intelligent, highly automated workflows.
• Easy scalability to meet any needs – from simple labels to high-end custom packaging.

INKJ’s high-speed inkjet industrial printers  

• Next-generation dual-circulation industrial on-demand piezo printheads offer automatic ink circulation and automatic printhead cooling.
• INKJ’s proprietary dual-circulation ink supply printing system makes printing smoother, reduces printhead clogging, and minimises cleaning frequency to significantly reduce maintenance and save labor and operational costs.
• Built-in system controls the cooling cycle of the printheads to work at the required constant temperature, extending the lifespan of the printheads to further save production costs.
• Constant-temperature ink supply technology makes the printing quality of printheads more stable and improves overall printing quality.
• Combination of drying and post-cooling flattening makes end products closer to traditional printing effects.
• Independent drying unit design isolates the drying and heat dissipation from the impact on the printing unit, further ensuring that the printheads remain in a constant temperature state for operation, achieving good temperature control and extending the equipment lifespan.
• Direct printing on coated papers without pre-coating provides more business possibilities and commercial value.
