1. What is a Carton One Pass Printer?
One Pass Printer is a high-speed digital printing machine that prints in a single pass, making it ideal for large-scale production of packaging, labels, and promotional materials. Unlike traditional printers, it moves the material while keeping the printhead stationary, ensuring fast, precise, and cost-effective printing.
Key Advantages:
- Servo motor control for smooth operation
- No RIP software needed – simply import PDF/PSD files
- Low ink consumption (as low as $0.01 per sqm)
- Easy maintenance (no cleaning fluids required)
2. What Materials Can It Print On?
The Carton One Pass Printer works best on absorbent materials, including:
- Cardboard & paperboard (e.g., shipping boxes, retail packaging)
- Fabric & non-woven materials (e.g., tote bags, apparel tags)
- Paper-based products (e.g., cups, paper bags)
Not suitable for:
Plastic-coated surfaces (water-based ink won’t adhere)
Metal, glass, or other non-absorbent materials
3. How Much Does It Cost to Operate?
One of the biggest advantages is its ultra-low printing cost:
Cost Factor Details
- Ink Cost ~$0.01 per sqm (full coverage)
- Printhead Cost ~$1,100 (HP A4, lasts 200K+ prints)
- Maintenance Almost $0 (no cleaning fluids needed)
- Example: Printing 3,600 sqm costs just $36 in ink
4. How Fast and Precise Is the Printing?
Print Mode Speed (per hour) Resolution (DPI)
Standard 20-40 meters 1200×300
High Quality Slower 1200×1200
Most customers find 1200×300 DPI sufficient for packaging and labels.

Maintenance Tip: Print test strips weekly and use hot water (60-80°C) to clear clogs.
