A DOD (Drop On Demand) inkjet printer is a digital printing system that deposits ink onto the material only when needed, generating highly precise, controlled ink droplets. This technology makes it possible to print variable data, barcodes, QR Codes, text, and images directly during the production process.
DOD inkjet printers are particularly well suited for industrial applications requiring high resolution, printing speed, precision, and variable data management on any material.
The choice depends on production speed, required resolution, printing material, print width, ink type, number of colors, product format, and the need to integrate with databases or management systems. Spark Jet can be configured according to these requirements and integrated both into Graphimecc machines and third-party systems.
For industrial applications requiring high-speed printing of barcodes, Data Matrix codes, QR Codes, serial numbers, and other variable data, it is important to consider printing speed, resolution, code quality, and integration capabilities with production systems. Spark Jet can achieve resolutions of up to 600 × 600 dpi and speeds of up to 300 m/min, depending on the configuration, and is specifically designed for variable data printing.

Single-color, multi-color system
SPARK JET™ is available in two versions:
Automatic cleaning system
To maximise the durability of SPARK JET™ print heads, we have developed an automatic cleaning system that is fully managed via the machine’s central panel. This system cleans the heads every X hours of printing (with X being a parameter that can be adjusted according to the characteristics of the print and substrate) and positions them so that they rest in a way that protects them from ink drying inside the nozzles.
Furthermore, as it is fully motorised, it allows for easy and precise adjustment of the print head’s height and transverse position relative to the material.
High-precision adjustment holder
Each SPARK JET™ system is equipped, as a basic feature, with a high-precision adjustment system that, in the absence of the automatic cleaning system, allows the adjustment of the printer position both in height (distance from the substrate) and in transverse position with respect to the material.
With this option, the head cleaning and resting activities are manual.
