InkTec has demonstrated the Jetrix KX5 flatbed UV printer for the first time at Fespa 2013. Like its little brother (the 1212), the Jetrix KX5 2.5m x 1.3m machine utilises Konica Minolta 1024 (6 picolitre) printheads and operates at speeds of up to 30m2/hr and a maximum print resolution of 1440dpi.
There is also a multi-layer print function built into the operating system which enables the user to schedule their print in layers instead of having to do multiple passes. It also features a 2.2m wide roll-to-roll system.
The most interesting feature of the KX5 is the new proprietary Jetrix UV ink it uses. The patented ink has been formulated to give strong adhesion on substrates such as glass, acrylic and metal, without the need for a primer.
