The Graphium hybrid label press
FFEI has announced the installation of a Graphium hybrid UV digital inkjet press at Wisconsin-based Tailored Label Products (TLP).
‘We needed to add press capacity to meet rapid growth and the increasing demand of our customers, while continuing to advance our digital printing capabilities,’ said Jeff Kerlin, president and chief executive of TLP. ‘The Graphium allows us tremendous flexibility, combining the advantages of both traditional flexographic and advanced digital print technologies. We can run four colour process plus white digitally without having to make plates, saving time and money, plus add speciality ink like a metallic or specific PMS solid colour using flexo print decks, and run it all inline. Having that flexibility gives us a distinct advantage and allows us to stand out within the industry.’
He added, ‘The durability of the graphics produced on the Graphium fits well into our product offerings. The labels we produce with UV inkjet are very robust, and the output needs to last for the life of the product we are producing. The durability of the labels the Graphium produces is outstanding, which had a huge impact on our decision.’
