Digital Printing-Hybrid - Retrofit

Mark Andy will debut Digital Plus Screen, an in-line module that serves as a digital alternative to traditional rotary screen printing. The module integrates single color digital UV inkjet printing with the high-production Performance Series platform.

Hybrid printing solutions that combine digital and conventional technologies have gained a great deal of attention in the packaging industry. However, converters don't have to buy a new press to experience the hybrid benefits. Three converters shared their experiences with digital retrofit options.

Prairie State Group, a printer and converter of pressure-sensitive labels and flexible packaging, has added digital capabilities with a Colordyne 3600 Series Retrofit. The digital unit was installed on an existing Mark Andy 2200 flexographic press.

Diversified Labeling Solutions has installed a Colordyne 3600 Series Retrofit to an existing Mark Andy 2200 flexo press, creating a hybrid digital/flexo solution. The install was a result of the recent partnership between Colordyne and Mark Andy.

Tune into this webinar to come away with new ideas on how to make the most out of your existing flexo investment and your operations.

Colordyne Technologies and Mark Andy have entered into a strategic partnership, with Mark Andy becoming the exclusive distributor of the Colordyne 3600 series digital print technology on Mark Andy legacy press models, including the 2200 and 4150 platforms.

Prototype & Production Systems Inc. (PPSI) will be showcasing three inkjet solutions at Labelexpo Americas including the DICEweb system, the DICEpress printer and EB curing of food-safe digital label and package printing.

As more converters turn to digital printing, many are finding that partnering digital with flexo provides needed flexibility.

Many package printers offer conventional and digital technologies. But how do you choose which technology is right for the job?
