iQuariusiX technology
Innovative drying solution
The innovative drying system consists of two steps. In the first step, hot air impingement evaporates water in ink. In the second step, the post-fixation unit with InkFusion technology uses heat with humidification for a robust ink layer so prints are perfectly prepared for post-processing.
Nozzle uniformity and activity control
Uniformity control technology controls individual nozzles to ensure consistently high smooth print quality, while activity control detects and corrects nozzle failure or misfiring automatically, near real-time.
Sheet entry control
This innovation automatically detects and discards sheets with deformations before they enter the print process for full non-stop production.
Paper Path
The varioPRINT iX3200 ensures accurate and reliable paper transport for all substrates. Next to this, it intelligently interweaves blank and one-sided printed sheets for maximal productivity.
