CARTES LASER DIE-CUTTING SYSTEM<br />
NOLA PLUS (RUSSIA)<br />
Nola Plus, a label converter based in Moscow, Russia, has<br />
installed a Cartes HS353SHL laser die-cutting system. Ivan<br />
Pasecnik, Nola Plus CEO, said: ‘We want to offer to the Russian<br />
market labels printed by silkscreen and hot stamping but, most<br />
of all, die-cut by laser. The machine that we have purchased, the<br />
HS353SHL, will fulfill this goal and satisfy a range of customers.<br />
The configuration of this machine will allow us to produce simple<br />
labels, as well as very luxurious and decorated labels which<br />
cannot be produced with other kind of printing machines.’<br />
The company was founded in 1997 and installed its first<br />
Cartes machine in the same year, deploying it for the printing<br />
of cosmetics labels. This was followed by a Cartes CE 903E<br />
hot stamping machine and then, in 2004, a manual silkscreen<br />
printing machine and a cutting plotter. In 2006, the manual<br />
silkscreen printing machine was replaced by a semi-automatic<br />
line with a UV dryer.<br />
EFI JETRION 4900<br />
WTO (GERMANY)<br />
WTO WerbeTechnik Rothstein, headquartered in Wiehl,<br />
Germany, is the first company in Europe to install a Jetrion 4900<br />
from EFI. Günther Hinzel, legal executive at WTO, said, ‘We can<br />
now handle complex, low volume orders in different versions<br />
with no additional work. This is also opening up whole new<br />
sectors for us.’ The collaboration of WTO and EFI also includes<br />
a comprehensive service offering coupled with training courses<br />
and rapid support. Following the installation, WTO is said to be<br />
optimistic for the future and anticipates a substantial increase in<br />
repeat orders with flexible data.<br />
TWO OMET PRESSES<br />
ZIRCON TECHNOLOGIES (INDIA)<br />
Zircon Technologies, a converter based in Noida, India, has<br />
ordered two Omet presses: a Varyflex and Xflex X6. According<br />
to Sanjeev Sondhi, director of Zircon Technologies, the<br />
company will use the machines for producing labels, folding<br />
cartons and flexible packaging. The sale of the equipment was<br />
handled by New Delhi-based Weldon Celloplast, Omet's agent<br />
in India and surrounding countries.<br />
LABELS&LABELING<br />
HEIDELBERG SPEEDMASTER XL 106<br />
DWS PRINTING ASSOCIATES (USA)<br />
DWS Printing Associates, based in Deer Park, New York, USA,<br />
purchased a new Peak Performance Speedmaster XL 106-8+L<br />
from Heidelberg at Drupa 2012. The new press is the first in the<br />
USA to be configured with the combination of CutStar inline<br />
sheeting system, Hybrid UV technology, and both Prinect<br />
Inpress and Axis Control color measurement and control<br />
systems.<br />
DWS is a family owned package and label printer serving<br />
the food and beverage industry. Founded in 1865, the<br />
company provides complete graphic and litho services from<br />
award-winning graphic design to printing, finishing and delivery.<br />
President Tom Staib said: ‘We needed to expand our current<br />
production capabilities and efficiency and wanted state-the-art<br />
technology that would enable us to handle a wider variety of<br />
printing substrates and give us a competitive edge. We did<br />
not want to catch up with our competitors. We want to be a<br />
technology leader.’<br />
The performance of the Speedmaster XL 106 is enhanced by<br />
the CutStar sheeting system, which will reduce material cost and<br />
enable DWS to print on a variety of challenging materials. The<br />
ability to print using UV inks will expand the company’s product<br />
portfolio, while making more efficient use of the press. By<br />
configuring the press with Heidelberg’s InterTech Award-winning<br />
Prinect Inpress Control, the inline/in-press spectral color<br />
measurement system, and Prinect Axis Control, a console-based<br />
spectral measurement system, DWS also will enjoy flexibility to<br />
measure any of a variety of substrates that will pass through the<br />
new press. These features, in combination with the Speedmaster<br />
XL 106’s Intellistart automatic press guidance system, will enable<br />
DWS to take advantage of the short makeready times and<br />
significantly reduce its waste, all while advancing its growing<br />
Green Initiative program.<br />
The new Speedmaster XL 106 will be delivered with the latest<br />
version of the Prinect Pressroom Manager, the world's first<br />
pressroom management system based entirely on JDF. The<br />
system transfers complete presetting data from the MIS and<br />
pre-press workflow to the press, and in return, collects press<br />
production and performance data, making it easy to judge<br />
performance and apply continuous improvement policies.
