5 Things You Didn't Know About Memjet Technology in ArrowJet Bolt

Ever found yourself caught between the demand for high-quality labels and the frustration of slow, outdated printing systems? You’re not alone. Many businesses, especially in fast-paced industries like food & beverage, health, cosmetics, and logistics, struggle to keep up with growing customization needs, shorter turnaround times, and rising production costs.

That’s where Memjet technology, as integrated in the ArrowJet Bolt, completely changes the game.

You may have heard of Memjet—perhaps even seen the name floating around in digital printing circles—but there’s far more to it than meets the eye. In fact, this inkjet powerhouse is behind some of the most revolutionary shifts in high-speed, full-color label production today.

So, what makes Memjet’s role in the ArrowJet Bolt so special?

Let’s pull back the curtain and explore 5 things you probably didn’t know about Memjet technology in the ArrowJet Bolt—and why it might just be the label printing solution you’ve been waiting for.

1. Memjet Isn’t Just Fast—It’s Blazing Fast

When people think of speed in digital printing, many assume you have to trade off quality. But Memjet throws that assumption out the window.

The ArrowJet Bolt is powered by Memjet’s DuraFlex™ printhead technology, which delivers print speeds up to 150 feet per minute (45 meters/minute)—without compromising on resolution. That’s lightning-fast when you consider it’s delivering 1600 x 1600 dpi resolution at that speed.

This means you’re not stuck choosing between “fast” or “high-quality.” You get both.

Whether you’re producing long runs of product labels or short, variable batches with quick turnaround times, the Bolt’s Memjet engine ensures every label looks sharp, consistent, and professional—every single time.

2. It Uses Aqueous Pigment Ink for Durability AND Sustainability

One of the biggest concerns with traditional label printing is the environmental impact. Solvent-based inks, waste from overproduction, and frequent plate changes make it both messy and costly.

Memjet’s aqueous pigment ink offers a cleaner, more eco-conscious alternative. It’s water-based, free of harmful solvents, and suitable for applications in food, cosmetics, pharma, and other regulated industries where safety and compliance are essential.

Better yet, these pigment inks deliver excellent durability—resistant to water, smudging, and light fading. That means your labels can withstand transport, refrigeration, handling, and shelving, all while staying crisp and legible.

With the ArrowJet Bolt, you’re not just upgrading your production line—you’re aligning with sustainability goals, regulatory compliance, and evolving consumer expectations for cleaner production.

3. Memjet in ArrowJet Bolt Enables True On-Demand Customization

Let’s be honest—product life cycles are shorter than ever. One-size-fits-all packaging no longer works. Brands today need to react instantly to trends, seasons, language requirements, and customer segments.

Memjet technology empowers the ArrowJet Bolt to support full-color variable data printing, opening up endless opportunities for customization. You can:

Produce short runs for seasonal or regional packaging
Add serial numbers or QR codes for tracking
Offer personalized labels for customer-facing products

All of this, without additional setup time, tooling, or plate changes. It’s as close to plug-and-play as professional label production gets.

Whether you’re printing 100 or 100,000 labels, every single one can be uniquely designed and printed in a single run—just-in-time and on-demand.

4. Memjet’s Modular Design Makes the ArrowJet Bolt Surprisingly Scalable

Think digital print systems are only for giant operations with massive floorspace? Think again.

Memjet’s modular design approach means the ArrowJet Bolt can be configured and scaled to match your production goals—whether you’re a mid-sized manufacturer or an enterprise looking to bring labeling fully in-house.

This flexibility allows Arrow Systems, Inc. to custom-tailor the Bolt to your business needs:

Want to integrate inline finishing? Add it.
Need roll-to-roll or roll-to-sheet options? Done.
Looking for integration with existing software or workflows? Absolutely.

With Memjet’s adaptable architecture, you’re not buying a rigid system—you’re investing in a solution that grows with you.

5. It Lowers Total Cost of Ownership—Without Sacrificing Quality

Let’s talk numbers.

One of the reasons many companies hesitate to upgrade their print systems is cost. But when you factor in the TCO—materials, labor, maintenance, waste, and downtime—the ArrowJet Bolt powered by Memjet often pays for itself faster than expected.

Here’s how:

Lower ink usage per label with high-efficiency printheads
Minimal maintenance and longer printhead life
Fewer consumables thanks to a plate-less, digital system
Significantly reduced waste from printing only what you need

You also eliminate outsourcing fees, delays, shipping costs, and label inventory buildup.

So not only do you get the power of on-demand, professional-grade printing in-house—you also save money doing it.
