Ryobi and Miyakoshi Printing Machinery Developing 29" Liquid-Toner Digital Press

The new press combines the 1,200-dpi resolution and ultrafine-particle liquid-toner electrophotographic technology that Miyakoshi demonstrated on a web press at drupa 2008 with the high-speed sheet feed printing technology Ryobi has perfected for its offset presses.

Through offset transfer of ultrafine-particle liquid toner from a photosensitive drum to the media, this new digital press is able to offer high printing quality comparable to offset printing. Although recent advances have been made in commercial inkjet printing quality, this high level of quality is not yet achieved with an inkjet system.
