Digital Printing-Wide Format - Flatbed

The mood was celebratory among the package printing leaders who converged at the 2021 Digital Packaging Summit. The conference kicked off with thorough analysis of the package printing industry, markets ripe for growth, and how to leverage digital production printing technology and software to capture that growth.

Koenig & Bauer attributes its success in the large-format market to its stable series of devices, including the 57˝ Rapida 145 with its production speeds of up to 18,000 to the 64˝ Rapida 164 printing at 17,000 sph.

Landmark Packaging has added two new Xanté Excelagraphix 4800 digital packaging printers to increase its production capacity in order to keep up with its expanding business.

Cost, quality, and multiple other factors need to be considered when deciding between direct printed and preprinted corrugated production.

The Nozomi, an ultra-high-speed, single-pass direct-to-board printer, has met Fogra’s PSD standard, which recognizes industrially oriented, standardized procedures for digital print products. This includes reduced waste, higher quality and overall sustainability. PRINTING United Booth 8233.

The Fogra Research Institute for Media Technologies certified the EFI Nozomi C18000 single-pass, direct-to-board digital inkjet corrugated printer as Fogra compliant, the first such printer to do so.

The new OnsetX HS from Fujifilm and Inca Digital prints at more than 15,000 square feet per hour, and can print on numerous materials, including corrugated. Integration of robotic systems ensures reliable, highest-speed throughput. PRINTING United Booth 8220.

The BoxMaker has joined Digital Pack, an association established by HP that brings together select corrugated converters in North America and Western Europe that own and operate high-volume HP PageWide corrugated presses.

Southern Carton wanted to offer more to its customers and discovered new opportunities with wide-format digital printing. With its new printer on board, the company has expanded beyond packaging.

The EFI Nozomi C18000 single-pass inkjet press will bring new capabilities and enhance speed-to-market efficiencies for the wide range of applications and visual communications solutions produced by IMAGINE.
