ALUPRINT B2 printer

01 / NANOO PRINTERS

Aqueous inkjet. Expanded substrate range. No process trade-offs.

Industrial printers engineered for water-based inkjet chemistry — virtually odor-free, minimal hazardous waste — now compatible with substrates beyond pretreated papers, with simple, stable day-to-day operation.

03 / Technology

Printing into the structure of anodized aluminium.

Anodizing is an electrolytic process that builds a hard oxide layer on aluminium, firmly bonded to the base metal. It protects the metal against scratches, abrasion and environmental factors, and gives the surface a subtle sheen and a durable finish.

The anodic layer is porous. ALUPRINT fills these pores with ink, so the image does not sit on top of the surface but forms inside it. Sealing then closes the pores together with the print, leaving a smooth, glass-like surface that resists scratches and outdoor conditions.

Applications: nameplates, control panels for machines and equipment, decorative elements of street furniture and interior fittings.

  1. 01

    Vector file

    Design in a vector application (Corel Draw, Illustrator, Affinity Designer), saved as PDF, EPS or AI.

  2. 02

    RIP

    The RIP software creates a .prn file. Resolution and number of passes set precision and speed; colour profiles define the colours.

  3. 03

    Printing

    The operator places the sheets on the table and starts the job in PrintExp, which controls the printer.

  4. 04

    Sealing

    After a few minutes of drying, the sheets go into a sealing bath at 96 °C for approx. 15 min, followed by rinsing in clean water.

  5. 05

    Finishing

    The print is ready for cutting, milling or laser cutting.

04 / BOXEE

Packaging printing with classic water-based inks.

For papers, boards and nonwovens we use two kinds of water-based ink: pigment and dye. All NANOO printers are built to run pigment inks, so they also allow a trouble-free switch to simpler dye inks — choosing an ink does not lock you into one technology.

Water-based inks mean ecology and ease of use: they are virtually odourless and leave no harmful waste. For larger volumes there are industrial roll-to-roll lines: feeding, printing, laminating and cutting.
