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 is the smallest UV inkjet system for a mailing or finishing line?
The DPI Swift is the most compact 4.25 inch printhead system on the market. The controller and LED UV curing are built into one low-profile unit, so it fits on transports, presses, and finishing lines where older systems cannot physically mount.
Will the DPI Swift mount on my existing Kirk Rudy, Cheshire, or Walco base?
Yes. Swift is designed for universal mounting on industry-standard transports, with servo-driven head height adjustment accurate to a quarter millimeter.
How fast is the DPI Swift in production?
Up to 500 feet per minute at 600 x 300 dpi. The optional aqueous head configuration adds roughly 33 percent more speed.
Thermal inkjet or piezo inkjet for addressing, which is better?
Thermal cartridges are cheap to swap and good for short runs; piezo heads like the Swift's run UV and other chemistries, last far longer, and hold quality at production speed. Shops that address every day usually outgrow thermal.
Is Mailtech a factory-authorized DPI dealer?
Yes. Mailtech is a factory-authorized DPI distributor based in Deer Park, NY, with in-house technicians, local ink and wipe stock, and installs across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania.
