ZH98 Robo – Automation
Fluid Color ZH98 ROBO with Automation
High-speed industrial hybrid printing at up to 4,158 square feet per hour — with optional automatic board loading and unloading.
The Fluid Color ZH98 ROBO is engineered for serious production environments where speed, reliability, media flexibility, and labor efficiency matter. Powered by Kyocera printhead technology, the ZH98 combines rigid-board and roll-media production in one high-speed hybrid platform. The optional automation system can pick up boards, load them onto the printer, remove finished sheets, and stack them for the next production step.
Built for Serious Production
When production volume increases, the printer cannot become the bottleneck. The ZH98 ROBO is designed around high-speed industrial output, combining a wide 98-inch print platform with high-performance Kyocera printhead technology.
With production speeds reaching up to 4,158 square feet per hour, the ZH98 ROBO gives high-volume print providers the capacity to move significantly more rigid boards and roll media through production every shift.
Up to 4,158 Square Feet Per Hour
The ZH98 ROBO is built for print businesses where output matters. At speeds of up to 4,158 square feet per hour, it can dramatically increase daily production capacity.
That level of throughput makes the ZH98 ROBO ideal for high-volume signage, display graphics, packaging, industrial graphics, rigid-board production, and roll-to-roll applications.
True Hybrid Production
The ZH98 ROBO gives production shops the flexibility to move between rigid sheets and roll media, allowing one high-speed platform to support a broader mix of customer work.
Rigid Media
Produce signage, boards, displays, corrugated materials, and other rigid flat substrates.
Roll-to-Roll
Expand production into flexible roll media for banners, graphics, displays, and other roll-fed applications.
Multi-Sheet Production
Take advantage of the 98-inch print width to support efficient multi-sheet production workflows.
Let the Automation Move the Boards
The optional ZH98 ROBO automation system can take over repetitive rigid-board handling so your operators can focus on production instead of continuously loading and unloading sheets.
1. Pick Up
The automation system picks up unprinted boards using top-fed Venturi suction.
2. Load & Print
Boards are automatically positioned onto the hybrid printer and moved through the printing process.
3. Unload & Stack
Once printing is complete, the finished board is removed and automatically stacked for downstream production.
More Output. Less Manual Board Handling.
Optional automation turns the ZH98 ROBO into a more complete rigid-board production system. Automatic loading and unloading can reduce repetitive labor, maintain a consistent production flow, and help high-volume shops get more productivity from every shift.
Automatic Loading
Automatically picks up and feeds rigid sheets into the printer.
Automatic Unloading
Removes printed boards as they exit the production process.
Automatic Stacking
Stacks completed boards for efficient downstream handling.
Reduced Labor Requirements
Reduce repetitive material handling and allow employees to focus on higher-value production tasks.
Powered by Kyocera Printheads
The ZH98 ROBO uses Kyocera industrial printhead technology to deliver the speed and print quality required for demanding high-volume production environments.
The high-speed printhead configuration allows the hybrid printer to maintain exceptional productivity while still delivering the image quality expected from a professional production system.
Built for High-Volume Applications
The ZH98 ROBO hybrid platform gives high-volume print providers the flexibility to produce both rigid-board and roll-media applications.
Signage
High-volume rigid signs, display boards, directional graphics, and visual communications.
Retail & POP
Retail graphics, promotional displays, and point-of-purchase materials.
Packaging
Corrugated displays, packaging prototypes, and flat packaging components.
Industrial Graphics
High-volume OEM, industrial graphics, and specialty production applications.
Roll-to-Roll
Banners, flexible graphics, roll-fed display materials, and other roll-media applications.
