INX International Ink has entered into an agreement with Quality Discount Press Parts & Equipment to distribute its narrow web series of UV/LED digital label presses in North and South America.

This includes the newer NW340 press, a  high-speed digital press with integrated laser die-cutting.

The INX narrow web series of UV/LED digital label presses include NW210, with a printing width of 210mm and a resolution of 360 x 360dpi or 360 x 720dpi. It prints labels at speeds up to 80ft/min. The compact machine allows 100 percent variable print designs and cut shapes for each label. NW340, with a printing width of 340mm, has an increased resolution up to 1200 x 1200dpi and speeds up to 150ft/min to satisfy market demand and compete with offset presses.

INX International Ink is the third largest producer of inks in North America, with full-service subsidiaries in Europe and South America. It is part of Sakata INX’s worldwide operations. It has been seeking partners to represent its inkjet press technology for a number of years.

Michael Brice, vice president of sales and business development at INX, said, ‘Quality Discount has history on its side and an impressive customer base. It also has an outstanding group of people with industry experience and product knowledge who have the ability to match the right equipment to give customers an advantage.’

Based in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, Quality Discount serves the label, tag and narrow web markets, as well as digital, packaging, wide web, and offset/sheet-fed converters in North, Central and South America and other countries. A fixture in the Philadelphia area since 1993, the company operates from a 34,000 sq ft facility with the capability to support expanded product lines and large inventories.

Matt McCabe, sales manager at Quality Discount, added. ‘The INX NW series is truly the total solution for today’s label manufacturers, providing an integrated solution with inline printing and die-cutting at speeds comparable to their flexographic counterparts. It is reasonably priced without the need for separate finishing equipment, click charges and expensive service contracts.
