Autajon (Sinel) has invested in second Domino/ABG hybrid label printing press, as part of its efforts to expand its production operations.
The hybrid label printing press incorporates Domino’s seven-color N610i ink jet with an AB Graphics Digicon 3.
Autajon will install the new hybrid label printing press at its Sinel plant in Barcelona in the first quarter of 2018.
The company will use the modular and hybrid printing system to manufacture advanced and self-adhesive labels.
Domino/ABG hybrid label printing press is said to UV flexo and UV ink jet printing and embellishment tools, helping to expand production capacity.
Autajon (Sinel) general manager Joaquim Pérez said: “We are already running our first Domino hybrid press almost at maximum capacity and with increasing demand for specialised labels, we need to further increase our production capability.
“This system allows us maximum flexibility and provides us with a solution to transfer conventional jobs from flexo to hybrid, enabling us to produce complex applications that combine flexo and UV ink jet, with die cutting, and related finishing and embellishment options.”
In July, Domino introduced a new digital front end (DFE) workflow solution for the label industry.
Designed for the N-Series range of digital colour presses, the new DFEv2.0 solution is compatible with the latest Esko code base and holds capacity to work with different variable data printing (VDP) formats.
The new work flow solution offers increased job processing speeds compared to DFEv1.2, helping to use for variable data printing
