At the ALL4Pack expo in Paris, France from November 4th to 7th, RISO showed Intelliglide - a very interesting product for short-run cartons, boxes and logistics packaging. It was previewed at drupa on the ToshibaTec stand. RISO acquired ToshibaTec's printhead business earlier this year.

RISO Kagaku (represented by Smartech in Australia) is embarking on a new digital journey with the unveiling of its latest innovation, the Integlide, a printing, marking and labeling unit in a single operation. Developed from inkjet technology that has made RISO production printers popular, this solution represents a major step forward for packaging and logistics professionals.
In taking over Toshiba's inkjet printing division, ToshibaTec, RISO has gained access to advanced technologies that enable it to position itself in the fast-growing packaging market. The company can now print on a variety of packaging materials such as cardboard and kraft paper, meeting the growing needs of logistics professionals.

RISO is presenting the Integlide system at ALL4Pack, a major event for packaging and logistics professionals held in France. This 
Full colour boxes printed inlinemarks an important milestone for the company, which intends to demonstrate the capabilities of its technology and strengthen its presence in the European packaging printing market, and beyond.
RISO says that the Integlide stands out for its flexibility and ability to integrate into existing systems. Designed specifically for the corrugated packaging market, it enables manufacturers to easily add printing capabilities to their production lines, or even develop complete presses according to their needs. Drawing on its expertise in ComColor and Valezus printers, shown at Printing United, RISO adapts its inkjet technology to offer a robust, high-performance solution tailored to the demands of the packaging sector.
Proven inkjet technology
The new unit uses robust piezoelectric print heads designed by Toshiba Tec. Intended for the packaging sector, these heads can print both horizontally and vertically, depending on the conveyor configuration and the position of the box to be decorated, while guaranteeing reliability and print quality suited to demanding environments.

The Integlide solution offers performance tailored to modern packaging lines. It is equipped with 2-inch printheads, arranged in a staggered pattern, enabling a standard resolution of 300 x 300 dpi, and a maximum resolution of 300 x 600 dpi. With a speed of 30 meters per minute, this unit is designed to print quickly and efficiently on uncoated substrates, without the need for pre-treatment. It supports both monochrome and CMYK printing, offering flexibility in terms of packaging personalization.
Eco-responsible and economical
One of the special features of the Integlide is the use of oil-based inks, specifically developed by RISO. These inks dry instantly on contact with porous substrates, eliminating the need for a dedicated drying system, which reduces not only costs, but also energy consumption.
By integrating these functions into a single system, the Integlide simplifies packaging line workflows, reducing storage costs and improving overall production efficiency. Users can customize designs directly on the line, offering greater flexibility to meet specific customer requests or low-volume orders.
