Mike Fairley on Digital Printing

Then there is waste reduction, business expansion, expansion of services offered to the customer, and, of course, unattended digital printing and die-less converting. And, at the end of the day, the thing that everybody wants: maximizing press uptime to print as many jobs as possible each day.

Add to these prepress and workflow strategies and solutions all the continuing advances in in-line and off-line finishing systems for digitally-printed labels and packaging, and the benefits of this rapidly growing technology are further multiplied. While conventional diecutting and varnishing have been the minimum finishing options for digital label presses to date, the latest equipment is now available with options for hot or cold foiling, embossing, inkjet personalization, 2D bar coding, booklet insertion, hologram registration, flat-bed screen printing, sheeting, over-laminating, 100 percent web inspection, turret rewinding, or slitter rewinding, if required.
