The Digital Cell facility is equipped with an HP Indigo 4000 digital label press, X-Rite spectrophotometer and Digicom flatbed cutting unit with U/V coating system. Phil Smith, technical operations manager, says: "The technology enables our customers to do more than look at a one-dimensional design on a graphic designer's screen. The digital makeready system removes the need for endless correction of proofs and the wasting of two or three days gaining approval for a label design – a massive time and cost-saving. We can eliminate the costly, messy platemaking process – making the whole process almost an instant, one-stop operation: on-the-spot testing, approval, print and then delivery."
Lee Taylor, AGI Labels general manager, says: "So many variations on the traditional label are now possible, and we can easily take on any technical or design demand."
