Traditional offset printing does not offer to the issuers the opportunity to print multiple print designs in a single run. Other printing technologies are not compatible with an industrial environment in terms of speed and cost. The target for final customers is to have a unique product at a very low cost. This problem is today a difficult reality and the related suppliers are looking for solutions meeting positively this demand. The goal of this paper is to describe an ink jet print engine able to be implemented into a digital and/or analog industrial press. This document will explain the architecture of the print engine including the data management, hydraulic and fluid control, software, firmware architecture and the capabilities to address monochrome, color and other applications. For conclusion, experiences on industrial equipment and application are described.
