WHAT IS A SINGLE PASS PRINTER?
A single pass printing machine lays down the full image in one continuous pass as media travels under fixed printheads. Unlike multi-pass systems that scan back and forth, a single pass printer achieves industrial speeds with tight registration—ideal for direct-to-package printing on corrugated and paper-based materials. Pair it with water-resistant, fast-drying inks and you get sharp text, vivid graphics, and high-speed inkjet throughput with near-zero changeover time.
