Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can the DPI Hawk M7 print variable data?
The Hawk M7 reaches up to 500 fpm at 300x600 DPI in standard configuration. The M7 DS (Double Speed) variant doubles that to 1,000 fpm, printing over 100,000 pieces per hour making it suitable for the highest-volume direct mail, label, and pharmaceutical packaging operations.
What substrates can the Hawk M7 print on?
The Hawk M7 prints on coated stocks (UV or AQ), uncoated paper, foil, plastic, PVC, and chipboard. By swapping between spot color inks on the same system in 10 minutes, it handles a wide range of mailing, labeling, and packaging applications without hardware changes.
Can the Hawk M7 be expanded to wider print widths over time?
Yes. The Hawk M7 uses a modular Kyocera printhead architecture that scales from a compact 4.25" module up to over 26.4" of total print coverage out of one continuous head. You can start with the width you need today and add or expand existing heads easily and quickly later without replacing the system.
