Digital Printing Opportunities in the Packaging Segment
Landa Digital Printing says that its "Nanographic Printing™ press solves most of the problems with digital packaging: size, speed, ink coverage, print quality, and regulatory aspects." Sharon Rothschild, Landa's product line and segment manager for packaging, explains that the Nanographic Printing press lays the water-based ink on a blanket which transfers the ink to the paper. This avoids the problems with large volumes of water going directly onto the paper as with more conventional forms of water-based inkjet. Rothschild believes there are many advantages to digital packaging, not least of which is that it can be a tool for customer relationship management (CRM).
