DPi UV Inkjet on Walco Base: 600v Demo
Product Details
The DPI 600v system pairs a DPi UV inkjet engine with a Walco substrate base — a production UV inkjet system — using UV-cured pigment inks to extend substrate range beyond what water-based inkjet supports. This video walks through the 600v in production operation, highlighting the substrate flexibility UV inks enable.
What this video shows: Substrate moving through the 600v's UV inkjet print path, the inkjet head applying variable-data content, UV lamps curing each piece immediately, and finished printed pieces exiting ready for downstream finishing without dry-time delay. UV's substrate-handling advantage on coated stocks, dark substrates, and poly.
Who runs the DPi UV + Walco 600v: Production direct mail operations needing UV ink's extended substrate range. Statement and notice printers handling coated and specialty substrates. Operations whose downstream finishing benefits from immediate cure (no dry tunnels, no smear risk on subsequent stations). Mail service providers with substrate variety that water-based ink can't handle.
Why UV inkjet over water-based: Water-based dye inkjet works on absorbent paper substrates only. UV inkjet bonds to a wider substrate range — coated stocks, dark substrates, poly, and challenging finishes. UV also cures instantly, eliminating dry tunnels and letting downstream stations handle pieces immediately.

Frequently asked
Can the 600v print on all envelope stocks?
Yes — UV ink bonds to envelope stocks including coated and textured. For specific stocks (mirror-finish, dark stocks), confirm with a Mailtech specialist.
Is the 600v right for short-run color envelopes?
The 600v is production-tier. For very short runs, smaller Memjet-class envelope printers (ColorMax, Postmark 1170) may be more economical. For production-volume envelope work needing UV's substrate range, the 600v fits.
