Jet Technologies is launching its new Jet iQ range of finishing solutions for the label and packaging markets, which it will link with Screen digital label presses for an end-to-end solution.
Designed and built in partnership with Polly Automatics, the collaboration brings together the intellectual property and expertise of Polly and Jet, positioning Jet Technologies to deliver a comprehensive suite of finishing solutions.
Together with Jet Technologies’ range of digital presses by Screen GP, the Jet iQ range will provide Australian businesses with access to what Jet says is a fully integrated end-to-end solution, “enhancing productivity and innovation” in the digital print space.
Jet Technologies has long been recognised for its leading digital print solutions, but until now, the company has not offered a complete end-to-end process that includes finishing. The partnership with Polly Automatics changes this, allowing Jet Technologies to close the loop, and offer a fully integrated solution. The Jet iQ range covers everything from slitting, rewinding, and inspection, to shrink sleeve processing and digital finishing equipment.
One of the innovations of the Jet iQ range is the optional inclusion of the Vesatex Print Bar by Xaar. Jet says that when integrated in a finishing solution, it enables clients to add “substantial value” to their print, using the Print Bar to add digital effects such as highbuild varnish, digital foil, and a combination of gloss and highbuild varnishes in a single pass. In the past, these were only possible via conventional print techniques.
“The results have been outstanding,” said Jack Malki, director of Jet Technologies. “To be able to print a highbuild varnish of around 100 microns directly onto uncoated wine stocks is an absolute game changer. No primer, no limitations and outstanding results on a wide range of locally supplied materials. Feedback from printers, as well as brand owners, has been positive. We are excited to demonstrate this at our upcoming Open House event, held on the 11 of October in our Sydney Demonstration Centre.”
The entire Jet iQ range will be available to Australian and New Zealand customers, addressing, says Jet, a long-standing demand for well-supported digital print and finishing solutions. Jet Technologies says it has ensured that its broad range of equipment is supported across the continent, providing customers with factory-trained service options.
“The Australian market has been crying out for a well-supported alternative, and we are thrilled to be able to provide that with the Jet iQ range. Our focus is not just on delivering cutting-edge technology, but also on ensuring that our customers have the support they need to make the most of these innovations,” Malki concluded.
