Japanese manufacturer Miyakoshi has set its sights on toner and analogue platforms with the launch of a new high-speed inkjet press targeted at flexible packaging applications.

A company spokesperson confirmed it was Miyakoshi’s first press targeted at the flexible packaging market: “MJP30AXF was announced and did a live demo at IGAS 2018 in Tokyo and [since then we have] completed the developments to be ready for sale now.
“We have been in the data printing and commercial market for around 15 years with OEM and launched a label inkjet digital press, MJP13LXV at last Labelexpo 2019.”
