38 | L&L "LumeJet will need to work on increasing the speed of its photonic printing equipment, without impinging on quality. Current print speeds are at around 14 linear meters an hour, although Bentley says this is getting faster and faster as research and development (R&D) work continues." while, and is widely used commercially to print photographs. However, LumeJet is now working to make the process economically viable for industrial applications, including labels and packaging. ‘Photonics is an established technology, but it has never been approached in this way before. The LED array makes it highly accurate, and we’re now working to make it cost-effective. ‘The LumeJet S200 is proof of concept that the technology works, but has limitations in that it requires a very stable and flat surface. The LumeBar uses many times the number of LEDs than the first implementation of the LumeJet process, and is able to print on three dimensional objects as a result.’ ‘Light is also clean and is faster than ink,’ Bentley adds. LumeJet’s research teams are developing bespoke LumeBar systems for use in joint projects with some of the market leaders in inline labeling. Individual LumeBars are custom-built, tailored for wavelength and spot size, and specifically designed for fast throughput and higher output powers. Bentley himself identifies some recent case studies as showing the potential for LumetJet’s technology. Coca-Cola’s recent ‘Share…’ campaign is one that he draws particular attention to. ‘Coca-Cola has shown how personalization will be an important part of the printing industry going forward,’ he says. ‘We see runs of one as a market for the technology, although we don’t want to want to discount large-scale commercial applications.’ To achieve uptake in either market, LumeJet will need to work on increasing the speed of its photonic printing equipment, without impinging on quality. Current print speeds are at around 14 linear meters an hour, although Bentley says this is getting faster and faster as research and development (R&D) work continues. R&D work on LumeBar is to be aided by a 250,000 GBP (387,000 US dollar) grant awarded to the company by the UK Technology Strategy Board’s Smart program. The UK Technology Strategy Board’s Smart program supports SMEs with ‘high growth ambition and potential’. To be successful, applicants need to show that they have an ‘innovative idea, addressing a real market need, and have the ability to deliver their idea to drive economic growth’. The development is further being aided by material suppliers that are developing new polymer LABELS&LABELING IN the LumeJet S200, the printheads are moving and traverse the media in a single pass, edge to edge formulations suitable for photonic printing applications. Polymers that change color when exposed via IR or UV are at the heart of photonics, so their continued development and evolution will play a central role in the commercialization of the process in industrial applications. This is a two-way street, and Bentley says: ‘There is a lot of work going on in terms of polymers and substrates, but these require an enabling technology to create products. We’re one of the few able to provide this.’ Bentley predicts the commercialization of LumeBar to be three to four years away, although the first LumetJet S200 press has already been sold, with London-based Altaimage becoming a beta site. This will provide further proof of concept, and show that photonics has the potential to become a viable digital printing process in industrial sectors, especially those where shorter runs are becoming the norm according to Bentley. ‘There is a whole new generation of business leaders coming through that aren’t so heavily concerned by cost and overheads, but are looking more at what the market wants. What the market is crying out for is the technology to allow hyper-short runs, and photonics can be the technology to deliver that.’
what appears simple is often the most difficult to realize [tauruslab.net] GIDUE for Labels and Coupons market The new Combat M1 displays an “open” structure to simplify the access to the famous Flower flexographic print unit and perform the shortest web path in the market. The converting section has been redesigned with independent servo motors for each die-cutting unit and easy access to the slitting section. Qualitaly!
