FINAT Establishes Digital Label Task Force
For that purpose and upon the initiative taken by IGT Testing Systems and label guru Mike Fairley, a task force representing different disciplines has now been established. This technical digital label printability group is now to explore the possibilities of setting up a common testing framework facilitated under the FINAT umbrella. The overall aim is to make digital label printing a more globally standardized technology in terms of printability, performance standards, test methods and procedures. There are a number of challenges currently identified and determined. There is a need for defining and agreeing on digital technologies and terminology. It is desirable to benchmark digital label printing processes against each other and against conventional printing on existing test equipment. In addition, standards and procedures for testing digital label printing need to be written and dedicated or new test methods developed where required.
