Features

Automatic print head cleaning

DI-POD is equipped with an innovative self-cleaning system that keeps the print heads constantly clear of dust and ink residues, thus ensuring correct functioning and increasing the lifetime of the printer.

The automatic cleaning system is splitted into 200 cleaning cycles for each printing unit (roll length 40 m) and each cycle lasts about 5 seconds.

Motorized box infeed and outfeed

DI-POD has a dual motorization system for the box infeed and outfeed. This also makes it possible to print boxes that are shorter than 600mm (min 420mm) and to print on the rearn end of the box as well.
