Expand your business with value-added variable data printing (VDP)
Based on your existing traditional printing production lines, the Taurus variable data inkjet system easily helps you obtain the capability of variable data printing. Taurus utilizes off-line printing method. According to your customer’s demand, you can print variable data on the substrates on which fixed content is pre-printed. Supported variable data includes graphics, images, numbers, dates, times, barcodes, serial numbers and texts. Taurus enables you to win more chances of profit by extending the types of your acceptable printing jobs and enhancing the production adaptability.

Freely adjust print location
Taurus offers significant flexibility for your printing production. Taurus is equipped with 1 or 2 independent head modules with a print width of 54mm. By moving mounting positions of these two head modules on the print support, you can adjust the actual locations of printing for variable data to meet the unique demand of each job.

Widest media range
Taurus enables you to easily obtain high-quality and unique prints with variable data using art paper, recycled paper, glossy stock, PVC, direct mail pieces, synthetic substrates, paperboard for folding cartons, flat chipboards, corrugated cartons and so on. Taurus prints on substrates up to 4.8 mm thick. For substrate size supported, see the diagrams below.
