Epson has added to its SurePress series of digital label presses, extending the capabilities of its UV/AQ inkjet portfolio.
Specifically, an upgraded SurePress L-6534VW with orange ink offers an extended colour gamut, high productivity and print quality, whilst new L-4733A/AW models feature a new ink system and refinements to the drying process to deliver higher productivity when handling filmic substrates.
The SurePress L-6534VW with orange ink complements the existing L-6534VW with digital varnish, delivering print speeds up to 50m/min for high volume applications. The new press can print on a wide range of paper and film substrates. By using CMYK plus orange ink to widen the colour gamut, in addition to a high-opacity white ink included as standard, users can reproduce spot colours more accurately. The digital press uses Epson’s UV LED pinning system to control ink spread for fine tonal gradation, sharper images and vivid colours.
Upgrades to the Epson SurePress 4000 series see the introduction of the SurePress L-4733A/AW. The AQ ink system has been advanced to offer improved wettability, which in turn improves image quality and colour stability. L-4733A/AW models use a CMYKOG ink set, offering a large colour gamut for enhanced colour accuracy and saturation, and the inclusion of white and uncoated black inks expand the substrate range. Newly automated maintenance features further reduce downtime to improve productivity and reliability.
Epson noted that these advances better position the SurePress UV ink and aqueous ink presses to meet the needs of customers in sectors from food and beverages, through cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, to industrial and household goods.
Trish Jones, SurePress product manager at Epson Europe, said, ‘Epson’s SurePress range of label presses has a worldwide reputation for quality and versatility. We are continuously developing our technology, and this announcement shows our clear commitment to meeting the evolving needs of customers.’
