The Domino K600i inkjet printer also provides the capability for digital embellishments, including spot varnishing and digital screen-like white printing, often replacing silk-screen plus cold foiling. With the new UV67CL ink, it can print a high laydown digital spot varnish or a cold-foil adhesive. Alternatively, using Domino’s high-opacity white ink, it can print anything from high-impact solids to the fine detail required for 2pt text.
Employing piezo inkjet technology, the K600i is compatible with a full range of inks, including high-impact LED-curable and UV-curable inks, aqueous pigmented inks, a heavily pigmented white ink, a unique UV-curable clear ink for digital spot varnish or as a digital adhesive for cold foil applications, and UV97BK, a new food packaging-compliant non-CMR black ink suitable for many non-direct food packaging applications.
Print widths range from a single print module, producing an image area of 108mm (4.25″), up to seven dual print modules covering 782mm (30.81″).
Applications encompass printing onto labels, mail pieces, tags, tickets, forms, and security products.

Piezo Drop on Demand Printing Solutions -Domino C-Series, K-Series, and N-Series
Domino’s N-Series, K-Series, and C-Series printers utilize Piezo Drop on Demand (DOD) technology to produce prints on a diverse range of surfaces, employing aqueous and/or UV curable inks. The printers’ print heads are equipped with chambers filled with ink, and by applying voltages to the chamber walls, a distortion occurs, causing the walls to bow outward. This distortion results in a drop in ink pressure, drawing more ink into the chamber. When the voltage is released, and the walls return to their original positions, an ink droplet is expelled through each selected print nozzle.
Collectively, these droplets form high-resolution text, barcodes, graphics, and variable data on various uncoated and coated media, plastic cards, and label stocks.
This technology finds widespread use across industries such as Life Sciences, Agriculture, Extrusion, Food & Beverage, and others.

How the Process Works
Drop on demand (DOD) represents a broad category of inkjet printing technology where drops are expelled from the print head only when needed. The formation of drops occurs through the generation of a pressure pulse within the print head. The specific method employed to generate this pressure pulse gives rise to the primary sub-categories within DOD, namely thermal and piezoelectric (piezo).
In the case of piezo DOD, a piezoelectric crystal undergoes distortion when subjected to an electric field. This distortion generates a pressure pulse in the ink chamber within the print head, leading to the ejection of an ink droplet from the nozzle onto the substrate.
