At Labelexpo Americas, EFI is showing a new faster version of its Jetrion 4950LX LED single pass press, printing high quality labels at 720 x 720 dpi with vibrant images and fine text at print speeds of up to 60 m/min. The 13 inch wide, modular press now also features a white ink module and can be configured to suit specific needs as a fully inline LED inkjet digital printing system with flexo varnish, lamination, inline laser cutting and slitting for lean label production.
‘The Jetrion 4950LX press’s productivity, quality, and low cost per label combined with the ability to go from blank substrate to finished labels in a single pass will serve as a tipping point for the many flexo converters looking for a way to profitably add digital printing capabilities,’ said Stephen Emery, vice president of EFI’s Jetrion and ink businesses. ‘This press and our industry-leading Radius workflow exemplify the technical innovations that help so many EFI customers become top performers in the packaging market.’
The new end-to-end production line makes its debut amid increasing momentum among Jetrion customers: EFI has just surpassed the 200-press milestone for its installed base of Jetrion equipment while ink volumes increased 23% in the first half of 2014.
