GIS Inkjet Pathfinder

GIS can bring your inkjet vision closer to reality. 

Whether you’re in the early stages of investigating inkjet technology or looking to enhance your current systems, we’d love to help you take the next step.

By sharing a few details about yourself and your project, we can prepare a personalised report with tailored recommendations, technical schematics, and insights specific to your needs.

Carpet Printing

Carpet production demands durable colour, accurate patterning, and efficient throughput. 

GIS provides the software, datapath electronics and ink system components to drive consistent, high-quality output across a range of textile substrates. The platform supports pigment and dye-based inks, enabling both vivid decorative work and precise pattern reproduction.

Stable control over printheads and ink flow keeps runs efficient from sample to full production. The outcome is reliable digital carpet printing with repeatable results and practical scalability.

Carton Board Printing

Cartons need print that fits converting. Creasing, cutting, and gluing set tight windows for registration. Digital opens up short to mid runs and versioning.

GIS technology works within cartonboard requirements and links software, drive electronics and ink systems so artwork changes do not stall throughput. Non-contact print keeps options open for coatings and embellishment. In-line variable data is available.

Speed and resolution scale with the brief. The outcome is practical: quality on common board types with a simpler path from design to finished pack.

Ceramic Printing

Tile decoration is a mature inkjet application. Floor and wall tiles, cladding, and effects all need high coverage with durable results.

GIS supports these systems with drive electronics, ink management, and software. Non-contact print helps reduce breakages. Runs can be efficient at different volumes, with realistic designs that repeat reliably.

The aim is a quicker route to market with output that fits the demands of firing, handling, and installation.

Coding & Marking

Coding is variable data on primary and secondary packs. Dates, batches, 2D codes, and graphics must read first time at line speed.

GIS brings its established software, electronics, and ink systems to this sector. In-line changes are handled cleanly. Speed and resolution options support small fonts and barcodes.

Traceability features and non-contact print keep production flexible across substrates. Short runs remain cost-effective. The net result is clear codes with the controls that production teams expect.

Commercial Printing

In commercial print, speed, quality and flexibility define competitiveness. Short runs, personalised content and rapid turnaround are now standard requirements.

GIS supports this with integrated software, drive electronics and ink system components that enable variable data and high-resolution imaging on paper and coated stocks. Non-contact printing reduces waste and supports diverse formats from brochures to direct mail.

Systems can scale from proofing to full production without compromising colour control or consistency. The result is commercial output that meets tight schedules and client expectations efficiently.

Corrugated Board Printing

Boards are large and often uneven. Display work and retail-ready packaging still need clean graphics at useful speeds. Digital is changing corrugated for those reasons.

GIS brings drive electronics, software and ink system components to sheet and web formats so production stays flexible. Variable data can run in-line. Non-contact print avoids board crush.

Speed and resolution options cover POS, SRP and e-commerce packs. Short runs become economical and versioning does not force retooling. The aim is reliable output on real boards with fewer stops.

DTG / DTF (Direct to Garment / Direct to Film)

Apparel decoration relies on rich colour and strong wash durability. Digital processes such as DTG and DTF make small-batch and on-demand production practical.

GIS technology supports these applications with precision drive electronics, responsive ink system management and software that maintains stable jetting and consistent colour. Pigment and hybrid workflows are accommodated, enabling fast changeovers between designs.

The platform delivers predictable placement on textiles or transfer films, supporting smooth transitions from sample to scale. The benefit is reliable garment printing with reduced setup time and high repeat accuracy.

DTS (Direct to Shape) Printing

Printing directly onto bottles, cans and complex forms requires tight control of timing, distance and curvature. Graphics must remain accurate around three-dimensional surfaces.

GIS provides enabling software, datapath electronics and ink system components designed for these builds. Non-contact print minimises handling damage, while synchronised motion and image control ensure precise placement.

Short runs and customised production are supported without extensive tooling. The outcome is efficient, repeatable decoration on curved and irregular parts — ready for real-world packaging and product applications.

Flexible Packaging Printing

Brands need consistent decoration on plastics, glass, and metals. Non-contact inkjet helps because parts vary and handling matters.

GIS provides the stack from printhead support and ink systems to responsive software. That supports cost-effective runs, smaller batches on demand, and rapid changes for promotional work.

The platform keeps image quality stable while you switch designs or SKUs. The result is decoration that meets appearance and durability requirements at production pace.

Functional Fluids Printing

Beyond graphics, inkjet systems can deposit functional materials for electronics, sensors, and coatings. These applications demand exact control of droplet volume, placement, and layer thickness.

GIS technology delivers that precision through advanced drive electronics, ink recirculation and thermal management. Software captures parameters for reproducibility from lab-scale trials to full manufacturing.

Fluids including nanoparticle inks, polymers and adhesives are supported. The focus is accurate, stable deposition that maintains material performance at production speed — enabling functional printing that bridges research and industry.

Label Printing

Labels change often. Runs are short. Customisation is normal. Inkjet fits that reality.

GIS supplies software, datapath electronics and ink system components for the substrates used in label production. Paper, foils and films are supported. Variable data is routine. Serials, barcodes and security marks stay sharp. Setups load quickly so changeovers do not drag. Non-contact printing protects delicate stocks and avoids scuffing.

Where UV is used, control hooks allow true finishing on the line. The goal is clear output at speed with predictable colour and adhesion. Cost-effective runs and quick shifts from one job to the next.

Security Printing

Security work adds data control and traceability to normal production needs. Passports, plastic cards, tickets, and currency require variable data at speed and reliable registration for overt and covert features.

GIS brings software, drive electronics, and ink systems to these builds. In-line changes are supported. Resolution and speed are available for small text and fine detail.

Non-contact print keeps options open on substrates and workflows. The point is throughput with controls that satisfy process and audit.

Textile Printing

Digital is a viable alternative to rotary and flatbed screen. Fashion, home, and technical textiles benefit from reduced volumes and custom patterns.

GIS enhances these systems with printhead optimisation, ink delivery and software. Dye and pigment workflows are understood. The platform supports efficient runs, small-lot customisation and fast introduction of new designs. It also copes with complex, non-repeat patterns.

Energy use can be reduced compared with legacy methods when configured correctly. The focus is stable colour and practical throughput.

Wood Décor Printing

Décor relies on repeatable patterns and batch-to-batch consistency. Furniture laminates, flooring, and wallcoverings need flexible design changes without long downtime. Inkjet is well established here.

GIS already supplies software, drive electronics, and ink system components for these lines. The platform supports varied substrates and keeps image quality steady while designs switch.

Short runs remain economical, and scale is available when needed. The intent is simple: reliable décor output that fits production.
