Executive Summary
Built with 40 years of inkjet expertise, the DPi SWIFT is the next evolution in high-resolution variable data printing, engineered to deliver cutting-edge design and advanced functionality in a remarkably small footprint. It is the most compact 4.25" printhead on the market, allowing it to fit seamlessly into environments where legacy systems simply cannot. Powered by an integrated Windows-based controller and robust LED UV curing technology, the SWIFT system guarantees precision, vibrant print quality, and exceptional uptime across a massive variety of challenging substrates.
Key Advantages
Ultra-Compact Footprint: Features the smallest dimensions of a 4.25" printhead on the market, dramatically reducing hardware bulk and enabling simple assembly on existing or new transports.
Precision Engineering: Built with servo-driven head height adjustment that guarantees accuracy down to 1/4mm.
High-Speed Resolution: Delivers sharp, crisp text and barcodes at 600 dpi across the head and up to 1200 dpi in the direction of travel, reaching speeds up to 500 fpm at 300x600 dpi.
Unmatched Versatility: Adjustable drop volumes (3, 7, 11, 14) tailor the system for UV, water-based, and spot color inks on substrates ranging from standard paper to foils and PVC.
Self-Maintaining Reliability: Ready to print in 30 seconds. Integrated head trays, automated service modes minimize maintenence and downtime.
Advanced QPress Control: Includes an intuitive, Windows 11 based PC controller and QPress layout software to streamline variable data, barcodes, and graphic integration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the DPI Swift smaller than other inkjet systems?
Swift features the most compact dimensions of any 4.25" printhead on the market. The integrated controller and LED UV curing are built into a single low-profile unit, allowing it to fit on transports, presses, and finishing lines where legacy systems simply won't physically mount.
How does Swift integrate with my existing equipment?
Swift is designed for universal mounting and integrates seamlessly with Kirk Rudy, Cheshire, Walco, and other industry-standard transports. Servo-driven head height adjustment provides accuracy down to 1/4mm for precise alignment on virtually any line.
What is the practical print speed for Swift in production?
Swift achieves up to 500 fpm at 600x300 dpi resolution. With the optional aqueous (AQ) head configuration, you gain a 33% speed increase, making it competitive with much larger systems despite its compact footprint.
