The three types of printers of the RAPID series provide different features and they are designed
for different kinds of applications.
3.1
Overview about features and applications
Type
RAPID Wire
RAPID Highspeed
RAPID Universal
Features
•
1000 m/min
maximum printing
speed in high quality
•
A special print head
provides a very short
distance between
print head and
substrate.
•
There are several
approved inks
especially for cable
applications available
•
Up to 800 m/min
maximum printing
speed in high quality
•
There are several
approved inks
available for various
applications and
substrates
•
Up to 30% faster
than the JET3up
•
There is a broad
range of approved
inks available for
various applications
and substrates
•
There are the same
fonts available as for
the JET3up
Applications
•
Cable/wire marking
and printing
•
High speed printing
on substrates that
are adapted to the
special print head
•
High speed printing
with a maximum
print height of
2,5 mm.
•
JET3up applications
that require higher
production speeds
especially if there is a
2- or 3-line print out
required. E.g. filling
systems or bottling
plants.
Restrictions
•
There is a smaller
range of approved
inks available than
for the JET3up
•
There are only three
fonts available:
o
3x7 tower
o
4x5
o
5x5
o
7x5
*
•
The
diameter
of the
substrate must not
be larger than 5 mm.
•
There is a smaller
range of approved
inks available than
for the JET3up
•
There are only four
fonts available:
o
3x7 tower
o
4x5
o
5x5
o

*
•
The recommended
distance
between
print head and
substrate is 5 mm.
Shorter distances
bear the risk of
contaminating the
print head, larger
distances may have a
negative effect on
the quality of the
printouts.
•
There is a smaller
range of approved
inks available than
for the JET3up
•
For optimal results
the recommended
distance
between
print head and
substrate 15 mm.
Shorter distances
bear the risk of
contaminating the
print head, larger
distances may have a
negative effect on
the quality of the
printouts.
*Only available with 50 µm nozzle
