Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a full-color variable data inkjet for direct mail and packaging?
Yes. The DPI Hawk 4C prints CMYK process color and variable data from one head assembly at 1200 x 1200 dpi, so addressing, personalization, and color graphics happen in a single pass on your existing base or inserter.
How fast does the Hawk 4C print full color?
Up to 250 feet per minute with UV-curable ink and up to 350 feet per minute with water-based ink, both at full 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution.
Can the Hawk 4C match Pantone spot colors?
Yes. It supports rapid changeover to custom PMS and spot colors for brand-critical packaging and direct mail work.
What can a process color inkjet do beyond CMYK?
The Hawk 4C also runs digital varnish, cold foil, and invisible security inks, which lets a mail or packaging shop offer those enhancements in-house instead of outsourcing them.
Can I see the Hawk 4C run on my own stock before buying?
Yes. Mailtech arranges a demo where your file runs on your actual stock, so you compare real output and real speed rather than a spec sheet. Call with your piece and we will set it up.
