“We had been running a roll-to-roll Domino N610i 5-color digital press for about three years,” says Mark Turk, President & CEO of International Label & Printing. “When we started thinking about opportunities for growth in the future, we realized it would be important to have more options and choices.”
So Turk and his colleagues approached Domino and CEI to see what they could come up with in the way of a hybrid press that combines flexo and digital UV ink jet. “They developed a CEI BossJet powered by Domino,” says Turk. “We already knew what the Domino could do, and CEI built the rest of it based on our specifications.”
International Label & Printing had the press configured with two UV flexo print stations (one before and one after the DominoN610i 7-color digital UV inkjet print engine). They have a rail system with a cold foil tower with unwind and rewind, which allows them to run wet lamination or lamination with a liner. There is also a turn bar, and a second unwind and rewind unit for running multiple webs, as well as a sheeting stacker/conveyor for running roll-to-sheet applications. This hybrid configuration takes their business to the next level allowing them to expand their capabilities, make more money, do more for current customers, while gaining new customers as well.
