Digital printing continues to grab market share from offset presses, according to a recent Smithers Pira report. The report noted that while digital printing represents only 2.9% of volume, it accounts for 16.2% of global print market value and will accelerate to 3.9% of volume by 2022.

Evidence of digital printing growth comes from SixB Labels, a source for labels, decals and bar codes in the Southwest, which purchased and installed its secondEpson SurePress®L-4033AWdigital label press to meet increasing customer demands in the graphic, manufacturing, food, service, beauty, and health industries. SixB Labels will use the digital label press for its range of full-color label capabilities to produce semi-gloss and BOPP labels, as well as to expand its short-run label printing to customers.

“Epson’s SurePress L-4033AW is a valuable tool for our business,” says Fari Bakhshian, President, SixB Labels. "We decided to purchase a second SurePress because of its expansive label printing capabilities and how it allows us to produce smaller runs with less waste, helping us to decrease production time and reduce costs.”
