Single Pass Sheet Printers

The Kora Single Pass Printer is purpose-built for high-volume printing on a wide range of rigid sheet stocks. Unlike traditional hybrid or flatbed printers that require multiple passes across the media, single-pass technology jets ink in one continuous movement as the sheet travels through the press—delivering speeds up to 164 feet per minute. Designed specifically for yard signs and other sheet stock applications, the Kora transforms production efficiency by drastically reducing print times and operator intervention. For busy print shops, this means faster turnaround, lower labor costs, and the ability to scale output without adding additional shifts or equipment. With its blend of speed, precision, and reliability, the Kora single-pass system sets a new benchmark for productivity in wide-format sheet-fed printing.

The NOVA is a next-generation single-pass printer engineered for metal sheet production, purpose-built for can making and other industrial applications. Leveraging high-speed single-pass technology, the NOVA prints in one continuous motion as sheets move through the system, eliminating the need for multiple passes and reducing cycle times. This innovation enables production speeds that surpass conventional printing methods while delivering sharp detail, consistent color, and durable adhesion on metal substrates. For manufacturers, the NOVA represents a breakthrough in efficiency—streamlining workflows, reducing operator hours, and ensuring repeatable quality on every run. Whether for cans, specialty packaging, or custom metal products, the NOVA redefines what’s possible in industrial print production with unmatched speed, precision, and reliability.
