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

Nilpeter introduced its entry into UV inkjet printing at Labelexpo 2007 in Brussels. This modular CMYK inkjet system, called CASLON, can be integrated into Nilpeter’s press platforms.

According to Ringbo, “Digital label printing has been part of Nilpeter’s business since the mid-90s, but UV inkjet is the first real feasible digital printing technology in terms of speed and combination capabilities.” Nilpeter is initially targeting the label industry, building off its existing product lines (13˝ to 16˝), but Ringbo says that flexible packaging will be part of its next project phase.
