Following a successful European launch at Drupa, EFI (NASDAQ: 4000 digital colour label press into Europe. The company announced today that the first installation in Europe is scheduled to take place at Commercial Labels in Congleton, Cheshire (UK) in October.
The Jetrion 4000 narrow web UV-cured inkjet machine combines EFI’s core strengths of workflow, ripping technology, ink manufacturing and machine manufacturing into a single stand-alone press aimed specifically at the label market. It is particularly suited for those with short runs, or requiring versioning or variable data.
Commercial Labels’ Managing Director Nigel Painton chose the Jetrion 4000 for its unique ability to turn around short-run jobs “in a matter of days and in some cases, same day. The Jetrion 4000 alongside our existing toner-based, flexo, letterpress and foil presses just strengthens our position as a ‘one stop shop’ trade label printing house. We will now be in the position to handle even the most difficult jobs, with or without variable data, quickly, efficiently and profitably. In addition, the extremely durable ‘bullet proof’ UV ink jet print offered by EFI and our new digital die cutting solution will make us very competitive with no plate and no cutter costs,” he said.
With the Jetrion 4000 Commercial Label Products expect to further expand into the wines and spirits markets as well as the cosmetic, health and beauty products, electronic, oil and automotive sectors. “We are particularly excited about producing outside decals, due to the high light fastness and durability of the UV inks. We also expect the new machine will be particularly good at producing window stickers, printed both one and two sided,” Painton adds.
“Jetrion 4000 will appeal particularly to existing label printers with analogue presses who are seeking an economically viable way of printing shorter runs, including variable data, reducing waste and inventory, and improving turn around times,” said EFI’s Jetrion Business Development Manager, Dave Gray. “We are very happy that Commercial Labels are the first company in the UK to install this press, and we are already scheduling further installations across Europe.”
