European-built precision equipmentIndustrial Flatbed Screen Printing Automation
High-precision sheet-fed screen printing systems engineered for printed electronics, medical diagnostics and biosensors, textile heat transfers, industrial graphics, packaging, flexible films and other demanding production applications. Configure a standalone press or a complete automated line with feeding, registration, drying, powdering and stacking.

Choose the Right Platform
INO combines high-precision flatbed printing with modular material handling and finishing equipment. The right platform depends on your substrate, registration tolerance, production volume, curing method and the amount of automation required.
A modular printed-electronics platform designed for thin, sensitive and high-value sheet materials. Start with manual or semi-automatic operation and scale toward fully automated production while preserving core process parameters.
High-volume sheet-fed automation for printed electronic components where registration, cleaning, controlled drying and smart-factory integration are critical to yield.
Industrial-scale heat-transfer automation built around the PRINT A6. The line supports multicolor, hybrid digital/screen and high-build transfer workflows with automated powdering, drying and stacking.
A versatile 3/4 automatic platform for paper, foils, cardboard and industrial components. Optical positioning, pin alignment and custom fixture capability make it a strong fit for R&D and low-to-mid-volume industrial work.
Precision-Driven Applications
INO platforms are used when the printed layer has a job to do—carry current, sense, bond, protect or transfer. That makes registration, repeatability and controlled handling critical.
Conductive traces, RFID/NFC antennas, membrane switches, heaters, sensors and flexible circuitry.
Diagnostic strips, electrode patterns, wearable sensors and precision-printed medical components.
Multicolor, hybrid digital/screen and high-build transfer workflows with automated powdering and drying.
Graphic overlays, labels, coatings, adhesives, protective layers and specialty flat-part printing.
Machine Selection
Use this as a starting point. Final equipment selection should be based on actual substrate samples, artwork, ink system, drying requirements and target production rate.
| Platform | Automation | Best Fit | Production | Precision | Material / Process Focus |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PRINT M4 / M5 / M6 | 1/2 automatic → fully automatic | R&D through production | M6 up to 380 sheets/hr | ±20 µm | Sensitive sheets and films, approximately 50 µm to 2 mm depending on configuration |
| PRINT M8 | Customized automatic / robotic | Application-specific industrial automation | Tailored to application | ±20 µm | Industrial parts, advanced fixtures and custom substrate handling |
| PRINT A6 | High-volume automatic | Heat transfers and industrial sheet-fed production | Up to 800 sheets/hr | ±35 µm | Sheet materials approximately 75–600 µm; integrates with POWDER, DRY and STACK |
| PRINT A7 | High-volume automatic | Printed electronics mass production | Up to 800 sheets/hr | ±35 µm | Sheet materials approximately 75–600 µm; integrated feeding and cleaning |
| PRINT V6 | 3/4 automatic | R&D and low-to-mid-volume industrial printing | Application dependent | Application dependent | Foils, paper, cardboard and rigid materials with optical or pin registration |
Build a Complete Production Line
INO develops the print engine and surrounding automation as one production ecosystem. That simplifies integration and allows the line to be engineered around the actual process instead of forcing unrelated machines to work together.
Modular conveyor drying with configurable hot-air, IR, UV and cooling zones for controlled curing of functional and graphic ink systems.
View DRY D →
Automatic stacking for precise alignment and controlled handling of printed sheets, including thin, transparent and sensitive materials.
View STACK S →
Automated hot-melt powder application for heat transfers and adhesive workflows with controlled application, filtration and powder recovery.
View POWDER P5 →Beyond Standard Screen Printing Lines
INO's automation team can build around the steps that make a process difficult to scale: handling, assembly, inspection, converting, integration and inline quality control.
Instead of forcing your application into an off-the-shelf machine, INO analyzes the process and engineers the automation around the required tolerances, cycle time and material flow.
Automation Projects INO Delivers

Quick answers for comparing INO platforms, automation levels and application fit.
The M Series is designed for sensitive materials and is especially useful when the process must scale from R&D or prototyping into automated production. For established high-volume sheet-fed printed-electronics manufacturing, the A7 and PE Line A7 provide higher throughput with integrated feeding, substrate cleaning, camera registration, drying and stacking.
Yes. Printed biosensors, diagnostic strips, electrode patterns and related medical components are strong applications for precision sheet-fed screen printing. The final machine configuration depends on substrate handling, required registration, ink chemistry, drying profile and production volume.
The PRINT A6 is the primary high-volume platform for heat-transfer production. It can be integrated with POWDER P5, DRY and STACK equipment for automated multicolor, hybrid digital/screen and high-build transfer workflows.
Yes. The modular M platform is specifically designed for this approach. A process can begin on an M4 or M5 and scale toward M6 automation while retaining the same core printing platform and process logic.
Yes. The PRINT M8 and customized automation capabilities are intended for application-specific industrial projects that require robotic handling, advanced fixtures, custom transport or integration with upstream and downstream processes.
Yes. In addition to screen printing lines, INO develops customized automation for tasks such as pick-and-place handling, inspection, lamination, die cutting, assembly and other pre- or post-process manufacturing steps when a standard machine is not the right fit.
