the KTM-A36 eco solvent printer, and I must say, its performance in packaging and printing applications has been impressive. This 1.8-meter dual-head printer, equipped with DX5/DX7 or XP600 printheads, offers a perfect balance of speed and quality, making it a versatile tool for various commercial and industrial needs.
One of the standout features of the KTM-A36 eco solvent printer is its ability to handle high-speed production without compromising output quality. For instance, in packaging prototyping, where time is often critical, the printer’s 3pass mode delivers up to 31m²/h, allowing us to produce mock-ups and short-run packaging materials swiftly. This is particularly useful for clients in the cosmetics industry who frequently require vibrant, high-resolution designs on custom boxes or labels. The eco solvent ink ensures durability and resistance to moisture, which is essential for packaging that must withstand handling and shipping.
Another notable application is in the production of point-of-sale (POS) displays. Retailers often demand eye-catching, large-format prints for in-store promotions, and the KTM-A36 excels here. Its 1800mm print width accommodates most standard display sizes, while the eco solvent printer’s ability to print on a variety of substrates—from synthetic papers to adhesive vinyl—makes it a go-to solution. The 6pass mode, though slower at 18m²/h, is ideal for high-detail graphics that grab customer attention.
For industrial packaging, the KTM-A36’s consistency is a game-changer. We’ve used it to print barcodes, QR codes, and batch numbers directly onto corrugated boards and flexible packaging materials. The SY circuit board system ensures stable operation even during long production runs, reducing downtime. The printer’s working environment requirements (22-28°C and 40-60% humidity) are easily maintained in most facilities, ensuring reliable performance year-round.
In the food packaging sector, where safety and compliance are paramount, the eco solvent printer’s inks meet stringent standards. We’ve successfully printed on food-safe films and paperboards, with the prints passing rub-resistance and smudge tests. The 8pass mode, at 13m²/h, is occasionally used here for ultra-high-definition prints that require no margin for error.
Lastly, the KTM-A36 has proven invaluable for short-run customized packaging. With e-commerce driving demand for personalized packaging, the printer’s flexibility allows us to switch between jobs seamlessly. For example, a recent project involved printing 500 unique gift boxes for a luxury brand—each with variable data like names and messages. The eco solvent printer handled this with ease, thanks to its precise color management and fast drying times.
In summary, the KTM-A36 eco solvent printer is a workhorse for packaging and printing. Its speed, versatility, and reliability make it suitable for everything from prototypes to high-volume industrial applications. Whether you’re in retail, food, or logistics, this printer delivers professional results with minimal fuss.
