In designing the new N730i, we began by asking our customers what would make their business better. There are approaching 1,000 customers using the Domino Generation 6 ink jet technology, so we got a lot of answers. Combining that insight with our technical expertise and in-house manufacturing capability, we were able to design and build a completely new label press solution from the ground up. It is a team effort and we are proud to introduce our N730i based on the latest Generation 7 platform.
We listened to our customers
“Consistent Quality” Our customers told us that quality is critical but not just quality alone. They confirmed that they needed exceptional and consistent quality at high production speeds. “Ease of Use” They told us that ease of use is just as important as speed and throughput. “Maximum Flexibility” They wanted maximum flexibility with financing options, tailored services and the ability to evolve the solution to help their business be as competitive as possible both now, and as their needs change, in the future.

Designed to deliver high quality performance
Consistent Quality: We addressed the need for exceptional print quality through our revolutionary BITSTAR™ print head and enhanced some of our i-Tech features to ensure consistent quality at high production speeds. Ease of Use: We designed an intuitive user interface which is easy for the operator to interact and engage with. Offering a fresh and modern feel, we believe that the SunLight interface makes the N730i one of the most intuitive interfaces on the market today. Maximum Flexibility: We considered maximum flexibility by providing customers with a wide range of alternative finance and support service offerings; plus optional flexo stations for priming, spot colours or varnishing which can be retrofitted as their business needs change. With our support this allows our customers to access new business from new market sectors whilst gaining greater competitive advantage and flexibility in serving their customers’ needs.
PRESS
Accessing new markets and delivering for demanding customers puts everyone under pressure to perform. The consistent high quality of output, high speed operation and printing efficiency of the N730i establishes it as an asset that will help your business compete and win.

High performance technology – 1200dpi with consistent quality at speed
At the centre of the N730i is the BITSTAR™ 1200dpi print head. Designed to deliver exceptional print quality at an optimal high speed of 70m/min, including white. A completely unique design, the BITSTAR™ is primed with technical features that stretch the possibilities of digital print quality. Unique and patented triple layer polycrystalline micro piezo technology minimises cross talk and delivers precise nozzle control for optimum drop placement accuracy and superior print results. That consistency is maintained throughout the lifetime of the head, greatly extending its useful life and long term value. The BITSTAR™ print head delivers unparalleled quality at speed and exceptional reliability.

Revolution in resolution – Combination of smallest drop sizes for the finest detail
The central challenge of ink jet printing is to ensure reliable, high quality images on a wide range of substrates. In the search for the highest possible quality of image, Domino developed the combination of smallest drop sizes. The N730i is capable of printing a smallest drop size of 2.1pl and nominal drop sizes of 2.8pl and 3.3pl. The result is consistent ink density across the image. That means sharper edges, smoother gradients, exceptional quality and greater accuracy at any scale.
The exceptional resolution and consistency of the BITSTAR™ print head is matched by the performance of our UV ink range. The N730i with our UV90 ink set opens up more markets, with a wide colour gamut, including solid white at 76% opacity, high resistance to UV, and strong adhesion and abrasion properties. UV90 can also support shrink sleeve applications.
Seven colour print
The N730i can be configured to print up to seven colours, including orange, violet and white. The full CMYKOVW combination makes it possible to achieve 92% of the Pantone®* colour matching system range, without the need to mix spot colours.

Low volatility, high performance
UV curable inks have a less distinct environmental footprint than alternative solvent inks, having an average across the ink range of 3.3% volatile solvents, and requiring less frequent print head cleaning and maintenance materials. Tested using industry standard cross hatch and tape tests, Domino UV90 inks maintain full adhesion on the widest range of substrates and remain highly abrasion resistant. Their performance means you may not need to pre-coat or varnish most substrates. 4 Vital for industrial applications, good adhesion and abrasion resistance are important for all applications. 4 UV90 inks maintain full adhesion on heat-sensitive shrink labelling, even when reduced by 70%.***
What’s in a drop?
High resolution might seem like everything there is to say about image quality, but there are many more variables that can affect the finished print. Domino formulates its own ink sets to provide the range of colours, durability and permanence required by the most exacting applications. Engineering the print head and ink formulations to deliver colour vibrancy and ink drops as small as 2.1 picolitres is akin to magic, the ink appearing as if from nowhere.

- Using the Blue Wool Scale, the relative lightfastness of different pigments can be measured. The maximum rating is 8.
- On many substrate types, UV90 achieves the maximum score.

Our unique i-Tech features make the Domino difference.
Domino’s intelligent Technology, or i-Tech features are given the name because we consider them to be outstandingly clever elements whose inclusion measurably improves efficiency, use, function and reliability. Our teams have now further improved many of the existing i-Tech enhancements, examples include i-Tech CleanCap2 but also SetAlign. The best has just got better
Jets that keep jetting with i-Tech ActiFlow.
This ink circulation system keeps the ink continuously moving around the print head, maintaining a consistent temperature and removing micro air bubbles, ensuring consistent print quality and reliability.

Automated cleaning with i-Tech CleanCap2.
 |
Are you still manually wiping your print head? This automated print head cleaning and capping technology is a consistently controlled process which reduces manual operator intervention and reduces waste.
Save time and increase print quality with i-Tech SetAlign.
The innovative i-Tech SetAlign is an automated system that sets density and accurately aligns the print heads. This combination of consistent density, created by the voltage trimming across the entire print bar, with the precise head alignment results in a uniform and seamless print across the full web width. Exceptional quality is delivered, every time.
Domino’s new N730i is designed to make your life easier. While you’re away concentrating on the next big order, it will be quietly delivering. It’s easy to live with from its streamlined design in the print room, to the simplicity and ease of operation.
Work flows more easily
The workflow is modular in design, you can operate the press independently or completely automate the process both for set-up and for reporting purposes. Not only is the choice yours but in future you can change your mind as your business grows and you want to automate more.
Esko
The system is supplied with the ESKO DFE v3.0 that colour manages and RIPs PDF files ready for the N730i to print. ESKO is an industry standard for pre-press, this makes you so well placed for integrating with yours and your customers’ label design stage.
