Precision encoders are essential components of digital printing equipment, enabling accurate and repeatable movement of the print head or platform across the substrate. They ensure precise printing quality, improve overall efficiency and productivity, and allow the printer to operate at optimal speeds while minimising waste and downtime. Here are a few examples of how precision encoders are used in high-quality digital prints:

Digital presses – accuracy, repeatability and quality in commercial printers
Scodix Ultra™ digital presses enable commercial printers and converters to produce tangible enhancements for a wide variety of applications, such as marketing literature, stationery items, book covers, boxes, premium packages and greeting cards.
A key feature of the Skodix Ultra digital press is its wide range of compatible substrates, including paper, cardboard, PVC and laminates. This requires a novel type of conveyor system capable of precise positioning control.
After reviewing several alternatives, we found the TONiC™ optical linear encoder to answer our needs. The main decision factors were accuracy, repeatability and quality.

UV inkjet printers – no compromise between speed and peace of mind
Flora Digital specialises in wide-format inkjet technology for the commercial print industry, its printers include ultraviolet inkjet printers that leverage high-value components to ensure state-of-the-art performance.
For cost and durability reasons, inkjet printers tend to use open-type encoder systems, the encoder design should account for dust particulates, ink and other types of contaminant. Renishaw's advanced optical filtering technology filters out non-periodic signal contributions, caused by contamination of the scale, and ensures a high-fidelity output signal.
The printing plant environment is very intensive; downtime for maintenance invariably results in economic losses.
Renishaw's *RGH41 encoder system gives excellent performance, higher axis speed, and peace of mind.
