DPi Hawk 600 Wide Format Inkjet Printer: 17-Inch Head Demo
Product Details
The DPi Hawk 600 with 17-inch UV cure ink single print head is a wide format inkjet printer for production lines — used for variable-data addressing and content printing on the widest variety of substrates wider than standard inkjet systems handle. This video shows the Hawk 600 with the 17-inch head configuration in operation.
What this video shows: Substrate feeding through the Hawk 600's print path, the 17-inch print head applying full-width variable content using UV ink in a single pass, and finished printed substrate exiting at production speed. The wide-format coverage that distinguishes this configuration from narrower inkjet heads.
Who runs the Hawk 600 17-inch: Flex press applications needing variable ink jet imaging for numbering, barcoding labels, ticket and tag printing variable information, direct mail operations producing wide-format mail pieces — large self-mailers, catalog covers, and oversized direct mail. High volume commercial printers handling wide substrates for addressing and variable content. Specialty mail operations whose substrate width exceeds standard 8.5-inch addressing systems.
Why 17-inch print head: Standard 8.5-inch addressing systems can't cover wide-format mail in a single pass — multiple passes introduce registration risk and slow throughput. The 17-inch head covers the full width in a single pass with consistent registration.
