Digital Printing-Hybrid - Inkjet/Offset

Koenig & Bauer and Durst have entered into a joint venture for the development of digital printing solutions for the folding carton and corrugated segments. The joint venture will begin with the manufacturing of the VariJET digital folding carton press in time for drupa 2020.

In this webinar, we’ll hear from two package and label printers that have successfully implemented hybrid printing technology.

More than 300 converters attended a three-day event at the Mark Andy European showroom and demonstration facility in Warsaw, Poland. On display was technology that showed how hybrid can be applied to the label market with maximum effect.

It may be a mature packaging segment, but the folding carton market is still “ripe with opportunity” for those who know how to make the most of it.

Printing Industries of America (PIA) has awarded Heidelberg with a prestigious InterTech Technology Award for its Primefire 106. The Primefire 106 is the first commercially available industrial inkjet digital printing system in the 70 x 100 (40˝) format designed to achieve high production volumes.

Denver-based Warneke Paper Box recently began installation of the new Heidelberg Primefire 106, the first installation of the device in the U.S. The device will allow the package printer to expand its business to provide targeted short-run packaging and added security to cartons through variable content.

Heidelberg hosted more than 400 guests from all over the world at its recent Packaging Day at the Wiesloch-Walldorf site. Heidelberg's digital solutions were on display, including the Primefire 106, which is now installed in Heidelberg's Print Media Center Packaging.

For converters who have a wide range of jobs, hybrid printing technology may be the best solution to meet demands efficiently.

More than 70 Heidelberg customers from around the world traveled to Multi Packaging Solutions' Obersulm, Germany location to witness the premiere of the Heidelberg Primefire 106 hybrid press. Multi Packaging Solutions is the first commercial user of the Primefire 106 in the 70x100 cm format.

During last week's Heidelberg Packaging Days event, Stephan Plenz of Heidelberg led a session looking at the future of packaging and the steps that Heidelberg is taking to address needs in the evolving packaging industry.
