About this machine
Flora Rhino 1600-U UV Single-Pass Corrugated Board Printer
The Rhino 1600-U is a single-pass industrial inkjet press for direct digital printing on corrugated board 1.5 – 15 mm thick, on sheets 500 – 1600 mm feed width. It prints CMYK with eco UV ink, cured by high-power UV LED lamps as the sheet passes.
Because the heads span the sheet rather than traversing it, output is governed by the resolution chosen. Industrial piezo drop-on-demand heads resolve up to 600 × 1200 dpi. The press runs at 60 m/min at 600 × 600 dpi and 30 m/min at 600 × 1200 dpi. Multi-level greyscale printing at 600 × 1200 dpi gives the saturation needed on brown kraft.
The ink system uses dual-negative-pressure recirculation at high flow, which keeps ink moving behind the nozzles instead of standing still between sheets, and ink thermostatting holds drop size steady over a shift. Nozzle cleaning and moistening are automatic. Automatic dedusting is the other mechanism that matters in this application: corrugated board sheds fibre lint, and lint on the nozzle plate is the usual cause of blocked nozzles. Front-edge feed keeps manual handling of the sheet to a minimum, and job changes are made without stopping the line.
Print width is configurable between 645 and 1290 mm as standard, with 1610 mm available as an option, on sheets 400 – 1500 mm long or up to 4000 mm with the optional support. Data reaches the press over optical fibre and the RIP is Photoprint, with the system open to third-party RIP software. Supply is three-phase AC 380 – 400 V at 60 A and 30 kW, with dry compressed air at 6 – 8 bar in a room held at 24 – 28 °C and 50 – 70% relative humidity.
The press suits corrugated packaging plants that need continuous 24/7 output but also take small personalised runs, where changing from one job to the next has to happen without a plate change and without stopping.

Frequently asked questions
What speeds and resolutions does it run?
60 m/min at 600 × 600 dpi and 30 m/min at 600 × 1200 dpi. As a single-pass press, its heads span the sheet, so output is set by the resolution you choose. At 600 × 1200 dpi, multi-level greyscale printing gives the saturation needed on brown kraft. Send us a typical job and we will advise the mode.
How is the ink cured?
It prints CMYK with eco UV ink, cured by high-power UV LED lamps as the sheet passes, so prints leave the line cured. Industrial piezo drop-on-demand heads apply the ink, and ink thermostatting holds drop size steady over a shift.
Which board sizes can it handle?
Corrugated board from 1.5 to 15 mm thick, with a feed width of 500–1600 mm and sheet lengths of 400–1500 mm, or up to 4000 mm with the optional support. Print width is configurable between 645 and 1290 mm as standard, with 1610 mm as an option. Tell us your widest printed panel and we will specify the width.
What keeps the heads running in 24/7 production?
Three things. Automatic dedusting removes the fibre lint corrugated board sheds, which is the usual cause of blocked nozzles. Dual-negative-pressure recirculation at high flow keeps ink moving behind the nozzles between sheets. Nozzle cleaning and moistening are automatic.
How are sheets fed and jobs changed?
A pressure-free leading-edge feeder handles the sheets, keeping manual handling to a minimum, and job changes are made without stopping the line or changing plates. Print data arrives over optical fibre, and the RIP is Photoprint, with the system open to third-party RIP software.
What are the site requirements?
Three-phase AC 380–400 V, 50/60 Hz at 60 A and 30 kW, dry compressed air at 6–8 bar, and a room at 24–28 °C and 50–70% relative humidity. The machine is 5350 × 4320 × 1950 mm and 7500 kg in an installation area of 7350 × 9320 × 3000 mm. It ships in two parts: printing unit 5766 × 2260 × 2420 mm, 6000 kg; feeder 3845 × 2100 × 2420 mm, 3000 kg.
