Printing equipment manufacturer Koening & Bauer has made clear that it sees continued growth for digital printing in packaging, décor and other applications, following the latest investment in its RotaJET platform by a Spanish customer.
This has seen the newly founded Spanish company Mimmetic invest in a RotaJET 225 press for decor printing. Mimmetic is a subsidiary of the Losán Group, one of the largest manufacturers of wood-based products in Spain.
Jonathan Caballero, senior manager at Mimmetic, said, ‘We believe in digital printing and we think that in the décor market, a new reality is possible. Given the specific market demands which apply in this segment, for example fast time-to-market production, individualised decors and short runs, we are certain that this press will secure the success of our business.’
Christoph Müller, member of the management board at Koenig & Bauer, said, ‘We are convinced that digital print will continue to grow in the areas of decor and packaging. And with our RotaJET presses, we can offer every customer a specific solution to match individual requirements.’
Digital package printing in all its forms, including inkjet, will be a big part of the drupa 2020 experience. Koenig & Bauer will be one of those presenting such developments at the 16-26 June event.
