The labels industry has evolved rapidly in recent years. Today’s labels not only have to carry brand name, brand and container size, but have to satisfy the requirements for custom attraction, and legal requirements for ingredients, batch numbers and security features.
When combined with demands for fast-turnarounds, higher quality, more colours and shorter runs, label printers have a real need for a means to meet these demands competitively and profitably.
Label printing with HP means that printers have a complete end-to-end solution with the proven print technology of the HP Indigo press ws4050, or the smaller HP Indigo press ws2000, at the heart of their digital production facility.
The new HP Indigo press ws4050 can print four colour labels at 52.5 ft. per minute or print at 104 feet per minute in one or two colour mode. Other advantages include a new ink-set for finer imaging, a reinsertion capability that enables duplex imaging for two-sided prime labels, and solutions that support essential FDA-compliant validation for pharmaceutical labels.
Apart from being able to print on paper, plastic and self-adhesive stocks, HP Indigo presses can print on transparent substrates, enabling reverse printing, using up to 16 hits of up to 7 colours, including white.
A streamlined workflow solution means that all aspects of the operation are controlled via an integrated program, from set up to finishing controls.
