Fujifilm
Fujifilm’s Illumina LED Retrofit System uses lower amounts of UV energy, resulting in 86%-95% reduced energy costs. COLDCURE LED technology delivers up to 44% more energy for faster curing, increased productivity, and cost savings. Illumina also has LED lamps that last 20,000 hours compared to 1,000 hours for mercury lamps.
Sun Automation Group
The Electra-Flow Electric Ink Pump is an electrically powered, double diaphragm ink pump that allows for a smoother flow at a significantly lower price point. The design also saves on maintenance and material costs, and eliminates the need for expensive air consumption and pneumatic plumbing required for air-powered pumps.
BALDWIN
Due to its patented technologies, Baldwin’s LED and UV systems offer some of the highest curing intensities available for the package printing industry. The company also says its drying technologies and applications offer the most efficient operation of their type available on the market, including the XP Quatro Series.
BOBST
The NOVAFOIL 106 offers advanced cross-foiling and is equipped with the Optimal Advance Computing System, allowing for precise calculation and determination of the optimal foil advance. This feature is not only available on the machine itself, but can also be remotely accessed, giving users the ability to control and monitor foil advancements from a distance, which ultimately enhances operational efficiency.
Comexi
With fewer solvents and energy consumption, the Comexi Flexo EB enables print service providers to give brand owners more recyclable packaging options without compromising quality and efficiency. EB inks are high solid gel-based inks that eliminate the need for a lamination layer.
Scodix
The Scodix Ultra 6000 provides an economical, productive, and sustainable solution for product decoration. Multiple embellishment techniques — including foil, embossing, spot color, and VDE — are achieved on its Ultra series press with Smart High Definition.
