Epson America

Anyone who has been to a trade show in the past couple years wouldn’t be surprised to hear that inkjet printing solutions are moving hard and fast into the packaging arena. They are being offered in all shapes and sizes, but one thing they have in common is a propensity for cost-effective short-run printing.

Featured Products for the the flexographic, narrow-web and package printing industries, including UV flexo inks, low viscosity inks, heat shrink labels, inkjets, in-line pH sensors and more.

Packaging equipment installations and purchases by U.S. printing companies, featuring DuPont Packaging Graphics, Epson America, Luminer Converting Group, Valdese Packaging & Label, KBA North America, and Flexo Wash LLC.

Digital printing and workflow implementations by package printers, including items on Roland DGA Corp. and FLEXcon, INX International Ink Co., and Color-Logic. 

Soon after releasing a new flexographic version of its Process Metallic Printing System, Color-Logic has released a version of the metallic effects system specifically for inkjet printers.

Anderson & Vreeland (A&V), a leading supplier of flexo prepress equipment and materials, marks a milestone in January, 2011—a half-century of supplying platemaking equipment and materials to the flexographic industry.

Labelexpo Americas 2010 provided an active platform for companies to introduce new products and product enhancements. The following is a snapshot of just some of the products on display at the show.

Among the factors driving its acceptance are the significantly shortened product life cycle of consumer goods, coupled with a greatly accelerated rate of product development and market launch.
