Sirius empowers OEMs to design printing solutions with
greater control and flexibility. For example, the above the web configuration
enables more efficient printhead cleaning when roll-to-roll printing, so that a
pause in a print job does not require the web to be cut. Sirius-powered
printers are able to move the print zone up and down to accommodate varying
material thickness such as stuffed envelopes or board stock. This offers a
greater range of media handling options for unique applications.
“Commercial print shops must balance the varying needs of
individual, custom print jobs,” said Gus Piccin, senior vice president of new
business at Memjet. “Sirius makes this possible by enabling OEMs to develop
printers that align with customers’ unique printing needs, whether it be longer
runs or diverse print materials, at an attractive price point.”
The Sirius-12G color print engine is available with the
print mechanism assembled or separated into core components. When delivered as
core components, OEMs can leverage Sirius as a development kit of components to
be integrated based on specific needs. In addition the ink delivery system is
highly flexible and compatible with a wide range of ink supply cartridges,
including customer specific solutions.
The Memjet printhead features over 70,400 nozzles that
deliver millions of ink drops every second. The page-width printhead provides
1,600 dpi native print resolution in full process color (CMYK). Speeds are 12
in/sec in standard-quality (1600x800 dpi) print mode and 6 in/sec in premium-
quality (1600x1600 dpi) print mode. (This never states that the PH is 220mm,
8.77” long). Memjet-powered printers are sold only through authorized
Memjet OEM partners.
