Printing Speed | High-volume production (e.g., packaging) | Industry: 150 m/min (ISO 5010) Base: 180 m/min (▲10%) Advanced: 220 m/min (▲22%) | Rapid production cycles; meets mass-market demands. | Higher energy costs; advanced models require skilled operators. |
Color Stations | Complex designs (e.g., cosmetics, beverages) | Industry: 4 stations Base: 6 stations (current product) Advanced: 8 stations (▲33%) | Supports vibrant, multi-layered prints; enhances design flexibility. | Higher maintenance costs; requires advanced color management expertise. |
Automation Level | 24/7 manufacturing (e.g., label printing) | Industry: Semi-automatic Base: Fully automated (ISO 9283) Advanced: AI-driven automation (▲ predictive maintenance) | Reduces human error; minimizes downtime. | Higher upfront setup costs; advanced AI needs IT support. |
Material Compatibility | Diverse substrates (e.g., pharmaceuticals, food packaging) | Industry: 8 materials (ASTM D638) Base: 12 materials (▲50%) Advanced: 15 materials (▲25% from Base) | Versatile for specialty materials like PET and foil. | Requires material-specific calibration; training needed for new substrates. |
Plate Compatibility | Specialized print techniques (e.g., embossed/texture) | Industry: Flexo only Base: Flexo + Letterpress Advanced: All 3 types (▲ adds Gravure) | Supports textured surfaces and high-resolution graphics. | Gravure plates increase complexity; operators must master multiple techniques. |
Material Width Capacity | Wide-format printing (e.g., billboards, banners) | Industry: 800mm width Base: 1000mm (▲25%) Advanced: 1200mm (▲20% from Base) | Handles large formats without seams; ideal for signage. | Larger footprint; advanced models are costlier to install. |
