Solving the challenges in short-run package printing
New inkjet print engine, "Integlide," launches on May 1st, 2025
- Integrating the printing workflow with on-demand full-color printing and a maximum print width of 310 mm -

RISO KAGAKU CORPORATION (President & CEO: Akira Hayama, hereinafter "RISO") launches "Integlide" in Europe on May 1st, 2025, its new inkjet print engine brand for package printing (corrugated cardboard, kraft bags, paper bags, paperboard containers). Leveraging RISO's proven inkjet technology from ComColor series, Integlide offers integrated solutions for diverse packaging materials.

The first product of the new brand is the Integlide S Series. This inkjet print engine is designed to integrate on-demand full-color printing into package production, achieving a maximum print width of 310 mm. It embodies an unprecedented concept that enables the integration of print work required for short-run package printing. By combining Integlide with client's package transport module, it offers an integrated solution for printing on various packages.
RISO will primarily target Integlide to printer manufacturers and factory automation system integrators-companies that design and implement integrated automation solutions for manufacturing facilities, potentially incorporating printing functionalities. Orders commenced in Japan from December 2024, and will now be accepted in Europe starting from May 1st, 2025.

1. Brand name

The new brand, Integlide, combines the words "integrate" and "glide"
to represent the integration of customer workflows in the package
printing market to achieve smooth (glide) printing.

The exterior cover finish shown is an example. The conveyor module and the exterior cover for the control unit are not included.

The Integlide S3411/S3211 is an inkjet print engine that enables on-demand full-color printing* with a maximum printing width of 310 mm. Designs and information traditionally printed on packages using multiple processes such as flexo-printing, marking, and labeling can be now achieved with a single Integlide unit. This offers the following benefits:

●Optimized workflow for short-run package printing.
●Reduction of package inventory by printing only the necessary amount on plain packages when needed.
●Increased design flexibility and enhanced package value through on-demand full-color printing.*
*The Integlide S3411 is a 4-color (full-color), and the Integlide S3211 is a 2-color.
