MELBOURNE, FL | MGI Digital Graphic Technology, the multi-substrate (paper and plastic) digital press and finishing solution manufacturer, and Axode, provider of vision systems for secure document production, have announced a strategic partnership agreement.

This agreement provides for MGI to integrate Axode vision systems on MGI’s Meteor DP60 Pro four-color multi-substrate digital presses. The combined system is designed to ensure the integrity of secure variable data print jobs, and will maintain the Meteor DP60 Pro’s high quality while guaranteeing zero content default. The Axode system can be used to accompany production of a variety of secure documents, including cards (pre-paid, membership, smart, ID, etc.), labels, stickers, and many other applications.

The Meteor DP60 Pro can print on a wide range of paper and plastic substrates, including CS1/CS2, Bristol, bond, art/textured papers, envelopes, PVC, polycarbonate, Teslin, PET, polypropylene, vinyl/static cling, and certain specialized substrates such as magnetic material and canvas/buckram. It also reportedly has the widest cut sheet size range of any digital press, from 4-in. x 6-in. (100 x 150 mm) up to 13-in. x 47-in. (330 x 1194 mm) and in thicknesses from 20 lb bond up to 130 lb cover (70 to 350 gsm) and 100 up to 400 microns (4 to 16 mil).

The Meteor DP60 Pro produces prints at 2400 DPI @ 200 LPI resolutions and has full variable data capabilities.
