AboutPrototype & Production Systems, Inc.
The Art of Adopting Technology
Willard "Chuck" Raymond founded PPSI over 25 years ago with one goal in mind - to provide high-quality manufacturing solutions that embrace new technologies and meet customers' strategic needs. He has learned that when a new technology is introduced, there must be a counterbalancing high-touch human response to support its adoption. To provide this touch, he has assembled a team of experts in industrial inkjet printing, automation, electrical, mechanical and computer engineering.
Technology
Over the past 25 years, PPSI has helped clients adopt cutting-edge technologies to improve productivity, reduce costs and open up new markets, in applications ranging from digital printing to machine vision and robotics. The DICE™ integrates the latest drop-on-demand inkjet technology, precise material handling, custom modular ink supplies, unique machine vision control system, custom operating software and automatic maintenance stations to deliver cost savings and productivity improvements over analog printing. DICE™ printers allow companies to respond to market demands for shorter runs, variable data printing, and faster turnarounds.
Sustainability
PPSI supports the goals of manufacturers for ‘lean’ manufacturing with minimized waste and low environmental impact. The DICE™ printers allow manufacturers and print service providers to print only what is required, and to deliver orders ‘just in time’. This reduces waste and cuts inventory costs. DICE™ printers use UV-curable inks, with no VOCs to contribute to greenhouse gases; the cured ink is essentially a plastic that can be recycled
The Right Ink
PPSI has a selection of UV-curable inkjet inks and the technical expertise to match your printing needs. PPSI DICEjet inks provide better consistency and reliability. DICEjet inks are matched to your substrates, coatings, and printer by PPSI experts to ensure the highest quality and consistency. It doesn’t matter if you print the label today, tomorrow, or a month from today - the colors look the same
