Kora – Single Pass
Fluid Color Kora
Industrial single-pass UV inkjet printing built for high-volume corrugated signage at speeds up to 164 feet per minute.
The Fluid Color Kora is a high-speed single-pass UV inkjet printer engineered for corrugated signs and other rigid sheet-stock applications. Instead of moving a print carriage back and forth across each sheet, Kora moves the substrate beneath a stationary printhead array in one continuous motion, delivering the productivity required for demanding sign-production environments.
Built for Corrugated Sign Production
Corrugated signage is all about volume, turnaround time, consistent color, and keeping sheets moving through production. The Kora is designed specifically around that workflow.
Single-pass printing eliminates repeated carriage passes across the sheet. Instead, corrugated sheets move beneath a stationary printhead array for continuous digital production at speeds reaching 164 feet per minute.
Up to 164 Feet Per Minute
Kora is designed for print providers that need to produce large quantities of corrugated signs without the cycle times associated with traditional scanning flatbed and hybrid printing.
At speeds reaching 164 feet per minute, Kora provides an industrial digital production platform for high-volume sheet-fed sign manufacturing.
Made for High-Volume Corrugated Signs
Kora brings industrial single-pass productivity to the sign shop, helping transform corrugated sheet production from a traditional batch-printing workflow into a fast digital manufacturing process.
Corrugated Signage
Produce high volumes of corrugated plastic signs with a continuous sheet-fed digital workflow.
Fast Job Changes
Move from one design to another digitally without the setup time associated with conventional printing methods.
Short or Long Runs
Digital production gives shops flexibility to efficiently handle changing quantities, artwork, and customer requirements.
Powered by Kyocera Printheads
Kora combines industrial Kyocera printhead technology with a single-pass architecture designed for high-volume sheet production. The platform can support configurations of up to 24 printheads for demanding corrugated-sign manufacturing environments.
Up to 24 Printheads
Industrial printhead configurations support the speed and coverage required for single-pass production.
Grayscale Technology
Grayscale printing technology supports strong image quality, gradients, color reproduction, and detail.
Automatic Maintenance Position
Printheads move to a dedicated maintenance station when they are not being used.
Keep Corrugated Sheets Moving Accurately
High-speed single-pass printing depends on accurate sheet transport and reliable media control. Kora incorporates production-focused technology designed to keep materials positioned correctly as they move beneath the printhead array.
0.2 mm Feed Accuracy
Precision sheet transport supports accurate registration throughout high-speed production.
Industrial Vacuum System
An industrial vacuum system helps hold sheets flat and stable as they move through the printer.
Up to 0.59″ Thick
Supports rigid sheet materials up to 0.59 inches thick for flexible production capability.
Available Automatic Loading
Available automatic loading helps reduce manual sheet handling in high-volume workflows.
Available Automatic Unloading
Automated unloading options can help create a more continuous production environment.
Continuous Sheet Production
Media continuously moves beneath stationary printheads to reduce cycle time and operator intervention.
Industrial LED UV Curing
Kora uses water-chilled LED curing technology designed for high-speed industrial single-pass production.
Water-Chilled LED Lamps
Water-chilled LED lamps support dependable curing in high-volume production environments.
Instant On / Off
LED technology provides instant operation without the warm-up and cool-down cycles associated with traditional curing systems.
Digital Production
UV curing works with the single-pass workflow to support fast handling of digitally printed sheets.
Built for High-Volume Sign Shops
Kora’s combination of single-pass speed and sheet-fed digital flexibility makes it particularly well suited for businesses producing large volumes of corrugated and rigid signs.
Yard Signs
Produce high volumes of durable corrugated yard signs with a fast digital workflow.
Event Signage
Quickly produce temporary event, informational, and promotional signs.
Retail Signage
Produce short-term promotions, displays, price signs, and retail graphics.
Directional Signs
Efficiently produce large batches of directional and wayfinding signage.
Custom Sign Runs
Digital production makes it easier to change artwork and produce multiple versions within a production run.
Produce More Signs with Less Operator Intervention
Kora’s single-pass architecture is designed to reduce cycle times and increase production without requiring an operator to wait for repeated carriage passes across every sheet.
Faster Turnaround
High-speed sheet production helps shops complete large corrugated-sign orders faster.
Reduced Labor
High productivity and available automation can reduce hands-on sheet handling and operator oversight.
Scale Production
Increase corrugated-sign output without relying solely on additional shifts or multiple slower printing systems.
