The white paper, titled "Extending MGi’s Market Impact: Introducing the Meteor DP8700 XL" is
authored by Jim Hamilton, group director of production printing and media consulting services at InfoTrends.
The white paper focuses on MGi’s newest digital press, the Meteor DP8700 XL, which was launched in June. MGi’s Meteor series of digital presses is regarded as the most versatile in the industry, with true multi-substrate versatility (paper, plastics and envelopes), the longest sheet size among production cut-sheet digital presses (up to 13 x 40inch in production, up to 13 x 47inch via manual bypass), along with laser-safe prints, no click charge, and an offset comparable output.
The Meteor DP8700 XL takes this versatility to a new level, offering 3,600 dpi / 270 lpi print resolution (including stochastic), increased print speeds up to 4,260 A4/letter sheets per hour, a new auto-adjusting offset feeder table (ensuring registration of ±0.2mm left-right, ±0.5 mm top-bottom, front-back), along with many other new features.
In addition to highlighting the Meteor DP8700 XL, the white paper’s analysis looks at MGi’s innovative production inkjet solutions: the JETvarnish digital inkjet spot UV coater and the JETcard, which integrates four-six UV inkjet colour printing (with full variable data), spot/flood UV coating, security (black light visible) coating, data encoding and verification (magnetic stripes) into just one unit, designed for high volume plastic card production.
Also hinted at are, future developments in MGi’s production inkjet technologies for the commercial printing market.
Rounding out the white paper are MGi’s innovative finishing technologies, including the DF360 multi-function finishing unit and the PressCard Pro and PunchCard Pro, lamination and die cutting solutions for the plastic card manufacturing segment.
"We were thrilled to work on this project with Jim Hamilton and InfoTrends; they did an excellent job of articulating MGI’s long history of innovation for the global graphics market," said Natarajan Vaidyanathan, the managing director, Aura Print Solutions.
"Our versatile digital portfolio has been making an impact in nearly every segment for almost 30 years, and this white paper is a great representation of the many accomplishments of MGI as a company over the years as well as a glimpse of what the future holds."
The Meteor DP8700 XL which has the ability to print up to size XL (1020 mm) is being shipped to Bio Card in India. Bio Card is a software technology provider with clients in India, Africa and Middle East. Their core business is software solutions.
India has 30 installations of all the machines of MGI which includes the earlier versions of the digital press DP40 and DP60.
