The highlight of SPGPrints’ digital offering – shown by video presentation at the stand - is the PIKE 700 UV-inkjet hybrid printer, for decor laminates and other industrial applications, and based on the company’s Archer® inkjet technology.

It is a 700mm-wide roll-to-roll machine, featuring up to 10 colour positions around a central cylinder, with CMYK plus white as standard. The printer features LED pinning between colour stations to ensure image sharpness. It uses SPGPrints’ own inks that are optimised for the machine’s print heads and treatment processes.

It produces vignettes with tonal gradations that are smoother than conventional printing technology and achieves consistent colour uniformity on both supported and unsupported paper and film materials up to 450µm thickness.

Furthermore, the printer may incorporate rotary screen printing units for added value high-impact “look and feel” effects, as well as priming, corona treatment among other complementary technologies, to form a complete single-pass production line.
