UV inkjet digital printing provides variable-data-printing capabilities for package printers.

Jetrion, which was founded in 2003 as part of Flint Ink’s expansion into digital printing, was sold by Flint Group in November 2006 to EFI. According to Sean Skelly, director of marketing and service for EFI Jetrion Industrial Inkjet Systems, the Jetrion 3025 UV inkjet system can be mounted on existing narrow-web presses or rewinders to provide hybrid printing of labels, “allowing converters to get the best of both worlds (low total label costs and high speeds).” With this hybrid printing approach, the Jetrion technology can be used to print short-run or fully variable black content such as text, numbering, or graphics.
