Finishing equipment manufacturer, A B Graphic International (ABG), represented in Australia and New Zealand by Currie Group, has unveiled the ABG InkJet: a new single colour print bar module engineered for seamless integration across ABG’s own finishing systems, including the Digicon, Converter, SRI and B5010 Booklet Machine, as well as third-party equipment.
Michael Leidgschwendner, Managing Director of ABG and leader of the Inkjet project, says: “As we continue to advance our inkjet capabilities, our focus has been on developing a fully modular print technology that can be utilised across the entire ABG portfolio.”
“This new InkJet range represents a major step forward in that regard, giving customers a versatile, high-performance solution that integrates seamlessly with any ABG system, as well as with third-party equipment.”
The ABG InkJet has been designed to deliver precision, versatility and speed, making it ideal for variable data printing, multi-layer labels, security features, barcodes and pharmaceutical labelling. A key advantage is its ability to print directly onto adhesive layers, opening up new creative and functional possibilities for label converters.
Among its standout features are 360 or 720 DPI resolution, tool-less application for reduced operating costs, and compatibility across multiple web widths. It also offers a wasteless setup process, ensuring maximum efficiency and sustainability in production.
The system’s advanced InkJet technology also enables it to power the ABG Braille module: a complementary solution that applies high-build varnish to create braille text and warning triangles in accordance with recognised industry standards.
By using varnishes of different viscosities, the system can also produce tactile embellishments on labels. And, with no cleaning required during varnish changes, users benefit from faster changeovers, minimal waste, and improved operational uptime.
Both ABG InkJet and ABG Braille are manufactured at ABG’s German facility in Baesweiler, where further innovations are already in development, with new modules set to launch in 2026 and a technology showcase open house planned for 15th to 16th April 2026,
