The Digital Web Press (DWP) is a robust
production system developed by iTi for industries such as label converters,
printed circuit manufacture and biomedical. It is ideal for any application which requires the short run economics
of a digital system combined with leading edge positional accuracy. The ability
to jet printing inks or specialised fluids at micron accuracy onto a moving
substrate makes the DWP a universal and unique product.
Xaar CEO Ian Dinwoodie commented, “Everyone
recognises iTi’s capabilities, they have long experience of developing and
integrating inkjet into new markets; the DWP is the enabler that will
accelerate the rate of adoption of Xaar’s inkjet technology into new markets.”
Bruce Morgan, CEO of iTi said, “Inkjet is
being adopted rapidly by leading manufacturers as a next generation production
technology. Inkjet enables digital
workflow in traditionally analogue production processes in markets such as
printable electronics and industrial packaging. Our collaboration with Xaar and their integration subsidiary here in the
The Digital Web Press collaboration
integrates iTi’s material handling, motion control and system design expertise,
with Xaar‘s precision printhead technology and strong engineering support, and

“This was a fantastic project to work on,”
commented Bill Leach, Managing Director of Vivid Print. “iTi knew the market applications they wanted
to target, and Xaar printhead technology provided an essential part of the
plan. This kind of collaboration speeds
up the path to market exponentially.”
