World’s Fastest 4 Color Envelope Overprint Press Runs Daily at GRAPH EXPO 15 The W+D (Booth 1253) 234d is the world’s fastest true industrial-grade, four-color inkjet envelope overprint press for short run envelope overprint applications. The four-color piezo drop-on-demand technology prints up to 30,000 #10 envelopes per hour at 600 x 600 dpi with four grey levels, the visual equivalent of 1,000 dpi. At 600x300 dpi (visual equivalent of 700 dpi), 60,000 #10 envelopes are printed per hour. With its precise high speed paper transport and Hi-Def water based inkjet inks offset competitive work can be produced on the industry standard of 24-pound white wove paper stock. The multi-format high performance rotary feeder design supports a wide range of mail products such as envelopes, stationery, business cards, postcards, tags, and even Tyvek, making the 234d a complete print shop for short run mailing work. It has a multi feeder size range from 3.2x4.5" in to 10x13" and easily handles papers from 16 to 90 pounds bond basis weight. The 234d ergonomic design enables quick and easy size changes with no limitations in regards to window envelopes. The rotary feeder accepts up to 2,000 envelopes and is reloaded on the fly or can be also fed with a high volume (5,000 and larger autoloader). Continuous operation is further supported by the ability to replace high capacity one liter ink tanks while printing. ICC profiling enables consistent print quality across an array of paper qualities. The W+D 234d’s integrated RIP is designed to support 1:1 marketing with the printing of variable data and/or bar code printing from a database. Images can be individualized for each piece.
