Transform production printing with inkjet

In the competitive and fast-paced world of production printing, there is a demand for high-quality and high-volume output under tight deadlines. To remain competitive, businesses need print solutions in place that are reliable, fast and cost-efficient. Innovations in technology have led to the transformation of production printing with inkjet. 

This article will explore the role of inkjet printer technology in printers such as Kyocera’s TASKalfa Pro 15000c and how they are impacting the print production industry. 

Why inkjet technology is the modern choice for production printing

Inkjet printers work by producing images from thousands of tiny inkjet droplets and printing them directly onto the substrate, whether that is paper or fabric. A previous limitation of inkjet technology in production printing was the issue of ink adherence to offset and coated substrates, leading to the use of other methods such as laser and offset printing. With developments in both printer and ink technology, this is no longer a limitation prompting companies to investigate the options that inkjet offers for their print production operations. Solutions such as the Kyocera TASKalfa Pro 15000c provide a fast and cost-effective alternative that can cope with the high volume demands while providing additional flexibility for print jobs of varying sizes opening new avenues for businesses to explore. 

Where speed meets quality

Inkjet production printers are designed to meet the demands of high-volume commercial printing, combining high print speeds with quality output. With Kyocera production printers such as the TASKalfa Pro 15000c capable of printing up to 150 pages per minute (ppm), inkjet ensures that large-volume print jobs can be handled efficiently and delivered on time. This high speed doesn’t compromise on output quality, printers use advanced inkjet technology to produce vibrant colour prints and sharp text.

Additionally, the Kyocera TASKalfa Pro 15000c also accommodates a wide range of paper sizes and weights, allowing businesses the flexibility to print on standard paper or high-end substrates. This enables you to choose the best option for the job without compromising because of printer compatibility. The device’s flexibility and robustness make it a valuable addition to your print environment and allow you to adapt to future demands and needs of your customers.

Cost efficiency and reliability 

While printing quickly and with great quality is imperative, the associated operational and maintenance costs of an industrial printer massively impact its viability within an organisation. Traditional industrial printers often require regular part replacements and upkeep, which can increase downtime and costs. 

The inkjet-powered TASKalfa Pro 15000c is designed for reduced wear and tear, meaning fewer interruptions and more efficient, cost-effective performance. This translates to a lower cost per print, ultimately reducing expenses, reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and increasing Return On Investment (ROI)—a significant advantage for businesses in a highly competitive industry.

How inkjet improves sustainability

Sustainability is a key factor for many organisations, and the print and production industry is no exception. Kyocera printers like the TASKalfa Pro 15000c support this priority change through advanced inkjet technology that reduces waste and lowers energy consumption. 

The use of more eco-friendly, longer-life consumables reduces the frequency at which parts need to be replaced. Not only does this maximise uptime, but also reduces waste from disposable consumables and parts, allowing your business to operate more sustainably. Our efforts in promoting more sustainable operations have been recently recognised as we were listed among the world’s top 500 most sustainable businesses in 2024.

For businesses that run high-volume industrial printing operations, small
environmental-minded decisions can have a significant impact on sustainability compliance. Regulations on sustainability across industries are tightening, with sanctions for failure to comply increasing simultaneously. The potential financial and reputational damage to businesses makes the exploration of green options like inkjet more pressing.

Applications of inkjet

Inkjet innovation at Kyocera has enhanced the flexibility of commercial print services and what can be feasibly and profitably offered to customers. This allows TASKalfa Pro 15000c users to serve a wide range of industries.

The publishing and education industry consistently requires large print runs with consistent quality for materials like books and educational materials, perfectly suited to the strengths of inkjet.

Inkjet production printers offer vibrant and precise colours combined with substrate flexibility to create attention-grabbing media. With possibilities for wide format printing and large format printing, this makes it ideal for marketing and direct mail operations. 

The ability of the TASKalfa Pro 15000c to execute short print runs with minimal administrative strain also creates opportunities in personalised commercial printing where cost-efficient and seamless workflows can be taken advantage of to profit from smaller custom orders.
