The JetXpress has a small footprint and is completely self-contained. Sensient Imaging Technologies - a division of Sensient Technologies - is a Spectra Approved Ink Partner.Using the JetXpress, decorative features such as photos, text and logotypes or various combinations can be imaged directly onto relatively flat-surfaced food products.
