Colordyne Technologies and DJM Partner on Inkjet Solutions
Colordyne Technologies and DJM announced a strategic partnership to expand the deployment of industrial inkjet solutions across North America, with a focus on retrofit integration into existing production environments.
This collaboration combines a broad and distinctive inkjet portfolio with deep local market expertise and a strong regional presence, creating a compelling proposition for print service providers.
As demand for higher print quality continues to rise, printers are under increasing pressure to improve productivity while reducing operational costs. Consequently, many traditional continuous inkjet (CIJ) systems, including legacy Kodak installations, are being considered for replacement with more advanced technologies.
“Across North America, we’re seeing converters evaluate how to replace aging continuous inkjet systems while improving productivity and lowering operating costs,” said Taylor Buckthorpe, director of sales and marketing at Colordyne Technologies. “Together, we’re giving converters a practical path to modernize existing production equipment with proven industrial inkjet technology.”
DJM Eureka Web Integration
For high-volume printing environments, DJM’s Eureka print technology, powered by the DJM OctiPus software controller, provides a future-ready solution. Together, they deliver significant improvements in productivity, flexibility and cost efficiency, enabling print service providers to meet evolving customer expectations while optimizing their operations.
"Production printers, such as mail service providers and commercial printers, are looking for inkjet solutions that increase productivity while reducing costs without compromising print quality," said Arwin van Oostveen, sales director of DJM. "By combining our Eureka print technology with the OctiPus Software Controller and Colordyne's expertise, experience and local support, we're making that transition easier and more successful for our customers."
Colordyne brings an established North American presence, operating as the customer‑facing and execution partner within the region. Within the partnership, Colordyne will take responsibility for local integration, installation and service delivery, supporting the deployment of digital inkjet solutions into existing converter environments. As the partnership moves from initial pilot installations into structured execution, Colordyne is expected to play a central role in enabling access to converter environments and supporting retrofit integration across the market.
DJM brings almost 35 years of experience in industrial inkjet, with more than 400 systems installed across 28 countries. Its technology is built around a printhead‑independent architecture, supporting multiple inkjet technologies and ink platforms. DJM provides the system architecture, electronics, controls and data platform that enable reliable, production‑ready integration into industrial environments.
The combined solution is designed for retrofit integration into existing web presses, finishing equipment and converting machines. Systems are designed to operate inline at existing production speeds, allowing users to introduce digital capability without major changes to their current manufacturing processes.
Typical applications include barcode printing, traceability and compliance marking and short‑run SKU flexibility, supporting converters as they respond to increasing complexity in production and regulatory requirements.
The partnership enables a practical path for converters to transition from analogue processes to hybrid production models, combining existing infrastructure with digital capability where it delivers measurable value.
Initial activities are focused on structured commercial development across packaging, mailing and label segments, with defined opportunities already being progressed jointly by both companies.
Through this partnership, Colordyne and DJM aim to accelerate the adoption of industrial inkjet in North America, enabling converters to increase flexibility, reduce complexity and adapt to evolving production demands.
