Venus 108-PWC
Inkjet Print Engine for Variable Data Printing (VDP)

Equipped with industrial high-resolution and high-speed DOD piezo electric print heads, Venus 108-PWC meets the increasing and rigorous demands for the applications of mailings, barcodes, bills, checks, packages, and marking. 
Venus 108-PWC is suitable for web printing, sheet-fed, and both online and offline targeted marking printing. As a integrated digital inkjet print engine, it can be easily integrated into existing transport systems thanks to its modular design to create more value-added opportunities.

• Monochrome
• 600 DPI Print Resolution
• Up to 150m/ min
• UV or water-based ink
• Automatic Print Head Maintenance
• Based on DOD piezo electric inkjet print heads
• Involving multiple patented technologies

The actual physical resolution of the Print Head Module is up to 600dpi. The patented, multi-angle adjustment mounting bracket enables the operator to adjust the angle of the X, Y, and Z-axis directions for each Print Head Module. Users can adjust the relative position of print heads easily and precisely.

The target printing position of variable data usually changes with different printing jobs. Venus enables you to precisely adjust the printing position of the variable data to meet the demands of each job.

Based on an all-in-one design integrating the Print Head Module and the Print Head Maintenance Module, the compact Venus 108-PWC allows automatic purging, wiping and capping for convenient unattended operation. The latest all-in-one design not only simplifies the wiping process but realizes loading & unloading modularization and control automation at the same time.

Venus 108-PWC supported fonts and barcodes:

• Graphics, numeric codes, time, and serial numbers
• True Type and Open Type
• 1-D Barcodes: EAN 13, EAN 8, Code 39, Code 128, Codabar 2 Widths, GS1 DataBar (RSS-14), Interleaved 2 of 5, UPC-A, and USPS PostNet
• 2-D Codes: PDF417, QR-Code, and Data Matrix
