Nothing stops a Great Idea..!!

Blue Prism Digital installs Insignia6

California-based packaging specialist has invested in Rollem’s Insignia6 flexo-magnetic die cutter to fully control the design and production process in-house. Insignia6’s ability to convert intricate applications on a wide variety of substrates and thicknesses allows Blue Prism to offer faster turnaround with sustaining complete control and no down time.

“Our team is utilizing the Insignia in a variety of ways to expand our packaging line. Having the in-house control over the entire design, production and delivery process positions Blue Prism Digital to respond quickly to our clients’ needs’, said Barbara Buschmann, founder of Blue Prism Digital.

Korean die-cutter manufacturer Bitek Technology Inc’s anytron brand will launch a compact size new digital laser die-cutter ‘any-CUT II’ (pictured) at Labelexpo Europe 2019. This is all-in-one unit that has web-guide, laminating, laser cutting, scrap paper removal, slitting and two re-winders. One of the most prominent features of this system is an auto-job changeover. It requires no manual work when it is operated. It does so by reading a barcode of the individual job. Hence, the cutting data is changed automatically without requiring any manual work.

Also, anytron will introduce add-on unit for any-CUT II that called ‘any-link‘ which acts as a buffer that synchronizes the speed between the printer and the laser die cutter. It makes it easy to connect the digital printer that a customer may wish to use with any-CUT II. It is specially designed to create a 100% digital in-line system without replacing the current printer.

Focus to demonstrate latest servo and digital innovations

Focus Label Machinery will be demonstrating its latest machinery with servo and digital solutions at the forefront, for the short and medium print run business. This includes the launch of a new generation of the popular Proflex compact flexo press with open architecture print head design. The Proflex SE is a fully servo driven, modular press available in print widths of 250mm and 330mm.

The new model benefits from touch screen HMI operator interface panels with fully programmable digital platforms. The new features have decreased set up time and material wastage, resulting in reduced downtime and higher productivity. The operator can control all aspects of press operation, from any of the HMI panels, and can store job information for future retrieval on repeat orders.

Also on display is the d-Flex digital inkjet press, which incorporates the latest high-speed full-colour Konica Minolta inkjet technology into the existing Reflex servo press. Visitors will be able to see high quality variable images, overprinted in perfect register with UV flexo ink, then converted and rewound – in a single pass with speeds up to 50m/min.

Also showcased is the E-Flex, a new flexo/digital combination press platform designed to meet the demands of medium and short run business. Focus will show a 6 colour, 330mm wide press, equipped with a full UV drying and chill roll system.

Memjet announces that OPM Europa BV in Tilburg, Netherlands, has combined robotics and Memjet’s VersaPass technology to create a direct-to-shape printer called LabelSaver. OPM’s LabelSaver integrates its own robotic system with the Memjet-powered Trojan Label print engine and proprietary coatings to create a self-moving printer that shows the possibilities of label-less production.

In recent years, the proliferation of SKUs and increased demand for short-run labels have driven small manufacturers to look for more economical ways to label their products. Dursun Acun, founder and European sales director at OPM Europa BV, set out to provide a solution to this challenge by integrating robotics into label production to create label-less production that would improve the speed, cost and environmental impact of label printing.

Once Acun developed the robotic technology, he needed a printing technology that could bring the device to life and support his goals of efficiency, economy and improved environmental impact. After considering several technologies, Acun chose to work with Trojan Label and include Memjet’s VersaPass printing technology in his solution. Memjet’s combination of innovation, speed, simplicity and affordability made it the right choice for the LabelSaver solution.

At this year’s Labelexpo Europe (September 23-27 in Brussels), BST eltromat International and Nyquist Systems will show new options for web monitoring and 100% inspection with the systems in the TubeScan family.

Hybrid Software is one of the world’s leading providers of innovative solutions for PDF-based pre-press-stage workflows and linkups to management information systems (MIS). The collaboration has enabled the two companies to considerably simplify and speed up setup processes in label printing (including quality assurance). Visitors in Brussels will also see the latest options for the QLink workflow, which integrates quality assurance into the pre-press stage, printing, and assembly. More detailed technical options and features for the TubeScan product range will be shown at the Nyquist booth. Alongside 100% inspection, the BST eltromat booth will also be presenting the company’s entire range for quality assurance in narrow-web processes – from web guiding, web monitoring, and register control to color measurement, color management, and workflow solutions.
