Diamond Shines

"Diamond utilizes full inter-station UV sheetfed offset presses and we do offer flexo printing in conjunction with offset printing by employing multiple flexo coating units on two of our Heidelberg presses," says Dave Rydell, VP, technical development.

The most recent acquisition was the Speedmaster XL 105. "Our new Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 105 offset printing press represents the state-of-the-art in package printing technology," says Rydell. "It offers the latest in coating capabilities, including a flexo coating unit upfront and a dual flexo coating unit on the end to apply UV, aqueous, or specialty coatings. We can apply MiraFoil (or any other flexo ink) in the initial flexo dispersion coater prior to printing up to eight colors and two additional specialty coatings—all in one pass."
