Digital label press manufacturer, Dantex Group, is due to install one of its inkjet presses from the PicoJet 1200 series at Brazil-based Color Pack in June this year.
The sale marks the first PicoJet that Dantex has sold to a Latin American customer, and is to be the second PicoJet 1200s press installed globally since the platform’s introduction at Labelexpo Americas 2022.

Incorporating a print width of up to 350mm and able to run at 75m/min, the specification ordered by Color Pack includes a flexo station with UV mercury lamp and finishing options that include cold foil and a full rotary die station with lamination, edge trim and slit.
