Label samples with added foil effects
A new digital system for adding metallic highlights to pre-printed or blank labels has been brough to market by Primera Technology. The IFX500e Foil Imprinting System complements the LX- and CX-Series colour label printers, and other laser- or inkjet-based label printers.
Metallic foils in gold, silver, blue and red are available as well as various spot colours and clear foil. When printed onto pre-printed labels, clear foil adds a glossy finish and makes the labels water and UV resistant, allowing for longer exposure to natural and artificial light sources. Additionally, the clear film adds a high degree of resistance to chemicals, cleaning solutions and other harsh environmental factors.
Fast print speeds and a low purchasing price allow users to quickly and cost-efficient produce shiny labels on-demand in the amount needed. The FX500e is set at a lower price point than the processor, the FX400e.
