Domino K300 Digital Printer
The Perfect High-Resolution Solution for Variable Data Printing
The Domino K300 digital printer has been developed to offer versatility and high print quality across a wide range of applications. Its monochrome high-resolution variable data printing capabilities (600 dpi) are ideal for 2D code printing, and can be integrated inline into the production process, if needed.
The Domino K300 digital printer is a new platform that inherits the reliability of the Domino K-Series, but features an advanced high-speed architecture to support the latest printing technologies. With speeds up to 250 meters per minute, the Domino K300 digital printer is ideal for adding unique codes and batch information to pre-printed materials, reducing the need for packaging inventory and allowing cost-effective short runs with fast turnaround times.
The Domino K300 can be used for late-stage personalization directly on the production line, either applied directly to the product or overprinted on pre-printed material, offering greater flexibility in the production process. Here are some examples of applications:
- Roll-to-roll applications (labels, forms, tickets);
- Sheet-fed applications (codes on stamps, laminated cards, security products, late-stage personalization, transactional printing);
- High-speed mailing applications (addressing, magazine personalization, cards, letters, envelopes);
- Tag printing, barcode printing (including QR codes).
Why Choose the Domino K300 Digital Printer
The integrated 5″ color TFT touchscreen on the Domino K300 digital printer’s Print Station is simple and intuitive to use for daily operations and system status monitoring.
Print width of 54.1 mm with 1 print station or 108.2 mm with 2 stations for multi-head applications.
Flexible controller options: from simple stand-alone operation or OEM integration to multi-head installations.
Editor Starlight
The Editor® Starlight variable data printing controller features an intuitive graphical interface based on Windows Embedded Standard, which operators will find extremely easy to use. Editor® Starlight supports in-line inkjet printing of 2D codes, barcodes, numbering, addressing and personalisation, combining ease of use with modular machine control functionality.
The Editor® Starlight controller is specifically designed to be intuitive and user-friendly. The layout editor makes it easy to create print layouts using images, text, barcodes and other variable fields. The WYSIWYG layout (what you see is what you get) ensures that what appears on screen is a true representation of the final result. If you’re looking for an easy-to-use digital printer controller, this is the solution for you.
Fully Unicode-compliant, Editor® Starlight accepts all commonly used industry-standard data file formats, including text files, BMP, CSV, DBF, and JPG. A single-page PDF can be used as a background image for inserting variable fields for variable data printing (VDP).
Configuring addresses, removing empty lines, and adding a barcode or Data Matrix code from the extensive library of industry-standard codes is incredibly simple: just select and drag it into the layout.
