The Neo Mercury inkjet press from Dilli
Korean manufacturer Dilli is opening a European subsidiary following the launch of its Neo-Mercury digital inkjet press at Labelexpo in Brussels. Based in Belgium, this will be run by newly appointed CEO Serge Vincart.
Located to service the EMEA region, Dilli SA will focus on the development of a network of professional distributors to cover the regions and support installations of the company’s products for digital labels and packaging printing and finishing. The range will include machinery for printing, die-cutting, laser cutting, varnishing and further embellishment.
Dilli UV and LED UV large and super-wide printing machines have been sold through dedicated local distributors and through international OEM branding partners for 20 years and there are over 3000 wide format installations in EMEA region. The company sees the label and packaging sector as a natural extension of its established presence in the wide format market.
A Neo-Mercury prototype was first shown at Labelexpo 2013, while the market-ready NM-350 press, with high opacity white inks, variable data and further up-grades, was launched at the 2015 show. The latest Neo-Mercury is capable of printing over 1000 square metres of any standard self-adhesive non-top coated labelstock paper or film per hour, says the company.
