Colordyne Technologies will use Labelexpo Europe 2019 to give the 1800 Series C its debut on the continent, where it will be shown integrated with a Bitek anytron any-CUT II for inline label production.
The Colordyne 1800 Series C benchtop digital label printer was launched earlier this year. It is a continuous benchtop printer powered by Memjet’s VersaPass technology for on-demand short run label and tag production. The press features a flat, unobstructed printing path and redesigned printhead maintenance station. These press enhancements eliminate the need for breaking the web to clean the printhead during runs, which increases run lengths and improves print quality noted Colordyne. The maintenance functions and stored job library can be accessed through an on-press touch screen, providing quicker access to frequently used printer functions for an enhanced user experience.
At Labelexpo Europe 2019, the printer will be configured inline with anytron any-CUT II using Bitek’s proprietary any-LINK technology. Any-CUT II and any-LINK are also debuting at the label and package printing trade show. Any-LINK is a universal speed synchroniser. any-CUT II is a laser die-cutting system, including laser die-cutting, lamination, scrap matrix removal and slitting.
After labels are printed on the 1800 Series C, any-LINK stores the media until it is fed into the any-CUT II laser die-cutter at the correct processing speed. any-LINK can measure and adjust the output speed of both the printer and finishing system to pause and resume operation during the production process. This allows users to print and die-cut labels without needing to take the printed roll to a secondary offline finishing machine.
Andy Matter, president of Colordyne Technologies, said, ‘This new solution provides users of our benchtop label printers, like the 1800 Series C, a time-saving and cost-effective option for incorporating finishing capabilities into their existing label production process.’
