New laser finishing option
The 2800 Series Mini Laser, an off-line or near-line finishing system, is Colordyne Technologies’ first finishing-only product offering. The compact machine has been developed as a solution for customers who want to bring label finishing in-house to take full control of their label production.
Featuring the same technology as the company’s 2800 Series Mini Laser Pro, it laminates, laser cuts and removes matrix waste in a single pass and is described as ideal for accompanying roll-to-roll digital printers, such as the 2600 Series Mini Press, to complete the short run, custom label and tag production process.
‘Other companies sell digital label and packaging equipment. We sell digital label and packaging solutions,’ said president Andrew Matter. ‘We have brand owners and private label manufacturers using our digital printers that typically source pre-die cut material from outside vendors because they do not have the space or resources to manage a multitude of dies.’
The 2800 Series Mini Laser offers a maximum cut width of 200mm and length of 1200mm with speeds up to 18m/min. It also features an intuitive and visual user interface that allows operators to make cutting adjustments on-the-fly, while jobs can be loaded from the built-in job library that allows users to save and reopen die cuts on-press.
‘We decided to offer the 2800 Series Mini Laser for companies that do more than labelling, such as brand owners and private label manufacturers. There was a gap in the market for this type of application, so we stepped in to fill it,’ concluded Mr Matter.
