REA JET UP

High Resolution Inkjet Printer – Piezo UP

The REA JET UP (Universal Print) piezo printer is an innovative, high resolution and completely newly developed direct printing system. This multi-talent enables contact-free printing on a wide variety of surfaces, such as paper, cardboard, wood, painted and varnished surfaces, with a tripling of the previously known speed potential and an ideal print distance of 3 mm. Alphanumeric texts, 1D/2D codes, graphics, company logos or product images can be imaged precisely and with high contrast at a print height of up to 108.37 mm and a resolution of up to 1500 dpi. Cascaded print heads print even larger images.

The REA JET UP Inkjet Printer stands out due to its innovative, patented ink formulation designed for high resolution direct printing on smooth surfaces, with high drying speeds. Inks range from oil- and light solvent-based inks to UV-curable inks for demanding surfaces. This can save label purchasing, storage, printing and application costs, even on difficult surfaces.

Thanks to a new generation of print head and circulating ink that prevents nozzle failures, the REA JET UP piezo printer reliably delivers a perfect print image even under harsh environmental conditions. The high-contrast print results also guarantee very high first-pass reading rates when scanning codes. At the same time, the coding and marking system achieves up to three times the speed of previous technologies. The robust and compact device design enables easy integration into any product line and is also Industry 4.0 compatible. Simple and intuitive operation is ensured by the cross-technology REA JET TITAN Platform.

Print quality can be controlled by REA VERIFIER code verification systems, resulting in very good code quality. These features make the REA JET UP ideal for secondary packaging that needs to be both appealing and informative.

Error-free and fast operation
Universal Controller and Universal Touch Controller

The REA UP piezo printer offers error-free and fast operation through two different controllers: the Universal Controller and the Universal Touch Controller.

The Universal Controller is equipped with a push and turn control, a numeric keypad and a cursor block. It supports the connection of up to two UP print heads simultaneously and allows a print height of up to 216.74 mm when using two print heads.

In comparison, the Universal Touch Controller is operated exclusively via the 10.1-inch display and has no buttons or knobs. Users can keep their gloves on and control the coding and marking system via the Universal Touch Controller’s modern, tile-based user interface. The Universal Touch Controller supports the connection of up to four UP print heads, allowing a print height of 433.48 mm when all print heads are used.
